Texas-Lindsey's Birthday

At the beginning of April, Clint and I went to Texas to visit my family and see my brother Kyle before he is off to the Navy. We got there the day after Lindsey's birthday so they had her family party the day we arrived.
While I shopped for a present Ryann got to play on the the rides with Grandma and Dad.

Of course the party had to start with presents, that would be torture to make a 4 yr old wait till after dinner. Lindsey banged on her mom and dad's bedroom door saying "Presents, presents, presents" while Melissa hid inside wrapping.Ryann hanging out with her Uncle Jason and Uncle Kyle.
Sporting party gear
Lindsey unwrapped each present very carefully...
and then very carefully dropped each one on the floor.
Except for this one. The princess deluxe package from Grandma had to opened and worn IMMEDIATELY
Instead of shipping a present to Justin a month later, I just let him have it early.
After dinner we had a yummy cookie cake.
We sang happy birthday and I was posed to take a picture of Lindsey blowing out her candles but....
Justin stole the moment. Right on cue he blew out those candles. It was so funny but...
Lindsey was less than enthused to blow them out after Justin stole her moment.
A trip to Texas is never complete with out lots of Bluebell Ice Cream. I love this stuff! and so does Justin. He just dug his fork right in and started helping himself.
When he'd finished his bowl he just grabbed the scoop and helped himself. He was such a character.
Ryann loved her cookie and tiny scoop of ice cream.
She topped it off with a booger. Yes that is her chocolate covered finger going right up her nose.
After the party Melissa turned the hose on and let Justin play in his water table. Ryann loved it.
Justin was so sweet and careful around her.

But he eventually figured out that when he splashed Ryann laughed. It was so cute to watch those two play.

When Lindsey is really happy she sings. She ended her birthday celebration by serenading us.

She's adorable! And I can't believe how big she is! Nice going, Ryann - everything tastes better with chocolate!
