We had a full house here for Marty's birthday party on Saturday evening!! We had about 20 adults and about 20 kids. And all the kids were 6 and under:)
The kids spent most of the time downstairs in the playroom and they had fun playing together. There were people everywhere in our house...it was busy, but fun!!
We had a race car party theme for Marty's party. He absolutely loves cars and trucks and pretty much anything with wheels right now. I made a race car banner and some flags for decorations. We had hot dogs and smokies for dinner, along with some appies and of course, birthday cake for dessert!
Marty was thrilled with his birthday cake. I made a race car for him! When I was decorating the cake the morning of the party, some of the icing started to run, so it didn't turn out as well as I had hoped...but it still tasted good!
Marty absolutely loves it when we sing happy birthday to him. So, when we sang to him at his party, he lit up and was all smiles. It was SO cute!!
He also loved opening his presents and was so excited when he got some new trucks!! We are blessed with incredible friends and family who came and celebrated with us. We are so thankful:)
Jeff had started to feel a little sick on the day of Marty's party and then a few days later all the kids got it and yesterday it hit me:( I feel like we have been endlessly sick for months now...I'm so ready for Spring and to be healthy for awhile. Megan missed school yesterday because she had a fever and was so tired. She pretty much laid on the couch and watched TV all day. We were all pretty lazy yesterday, but today we are feeling a bit better. The fevers are gone, we just have runny noses now and a bit of coughing.
The last two nights I've gone to bed at 8pm because I've been so tired and the kids have been waking up at night. Last night, Marty and Gabby slept through the entire night, but Megan was up wanting water, to go pee, etc.
The girls missed swimming lessons yesterday because of their sickness. But, they are doing so great with their lessons. Every week we they are getting better and better and more comfortable in the water. They have a great teacher and they are learning so much. Megan will happily put her whole head under the water now!!

What a little doll, that Marty. I love that he loves when you sing Happy Birthday to him! It's also great that the girls are so comfortable with water since we'll be having our very own pool in a couple of weeks!
Hey Tanya! The frames in your dining room look awesome :)
Your trip looks wonderful : )
