rayna's birthday/memorial day

so i've been meaning to post this stuff forever... and i just realized i'd already uploaded the pictures, which is the part that takes the longest, but i still never got around to finishing it all...

so, rayna's birthday was on memorial day this year (a mere 6 1/2 weeks ago), and we played it up in grand memorial day/birthday style! we headed out to the lake that morning, and had a great time playing with a bunch of our friends. rayna's special request was lots of store-cookies for lunch dessert, which is not only a reasonable request, but easier than anything else probably could have been!

some people out in raft/boats...

daddy, and the kids with the store-cookies

did i mention that i think all the kids ate for lunch was cookies? oh well birthday's don't come around too often!

and the girls with their cookies

rayna's new birthday clothes from grandma w. she loved getting a package in the mail! and tried her new clothes on immediately

so maybe this is a weird picture to post, but everyone was having a great time that afternoon talking to grandma w on the phone, that i just had to post it anyways. rayna finished talking pretty quickly, but afton and daddy had turns too.

and the favorite birthday present was the hula hoop. it's huge, but the kids were having a great time jumping through it, and swinging it crazily around... it was pretty fun to watch too :) i liked afton here mid-jump.

Wow. Rayna is SOOO big. She looks so much older in these pictures. Maybe it is her being one year older.
