Two Birthdays and a Spud Harvest

Okay, so I am a bad blogger. I guess if I were getting paid to do it, I would be more diligent! :)

Two and a half weeks ago, we celebrated Cambree's 9th Birthday. Yes, you read that right. She is 9! This year she had very specific things in mind that she wanted to have for her birthday. She wanted the following gifts:

Sqwinkies (The latest fad in small toys...)
A sewing machine
New earphones for her MP3
...She was not disappointed.

She wanted the following done on her special day:

A crown styled in her hair
Pumpkin pancakes
Fun flower cupcakes for her class.
...It was all a wish come true! :)


Here are the pics from her big day:

Ten days after Cam's birthday is MJ's birthday. This year we had no idea what to get him and he wasn't much help with that either... So, with the idea from my friend Rhonda, the kids and I made him a candy gram. They thought it was so fun and they also got a part of the present. :)
Right now the kids are in "Spud Harvest". MJ is driving truck for the Ashton's hauling potatoes from field to spud pit. We have been out for a week already and have one more to go... Last week while the kids were out of school, I was able to accomplish quite a bit with my BFF Mic. I canned chicken and potatoes and made freezer jam. It has just been non-stop fun. HA HA! But a successful week nonetheless... I wish the break wasn't quite so long, but what can you do? This next week Brin will get her cast off so we are on the big countdown and I am looking forward to a big celebration!!

Happy Birthday Cambree and Mike!! Cambree looks like a beautiful princess! Where are the pictures of Mike on his birthday?? What an awesome Mom you are to make all her dreams come true!! You are like Becky Homecky (I don't know how to spell that, obviously) making all your jam and chicken and potatoes, way to go! I don't think I get a thing done these days. Don't be a stranger, let's do something!

our BFF!?! What?!? Do you even have rings? I guess in all fairness, you and I were Be Fries, not BFFs so we are good. Anyway, I'm SUPER impressed with the cakes and her hair. You are super talented!!!! Will you please handle Kenley's birthdays when she gets holder? Also, I loved telling people in Houston that some cities in Idaho got time off of school for spud harvest.

Cute cake. Love those flowers. Quite the hair style. We don't get fancy hair dos like that at our house. I think I need to hire out for that sort of thing.
