Happy Birthday Jane

Jane turned 3 on June 17th. Unfortunately we did not take one picture of her on that day. She was recovering from a terrible illness that had her expelling at both ends. She has been asking me forever to make her a chocolate chip cake for her birthday. On her birthday I asked if she wanted me to make it and she said, "will you make it for me another day". Reynolds ended up eating all of his and Janes ice cream. Poor kid. We made up for it by having a little party for her at Civic Green park. I was so disappointed when we got there because some punk kids had put bubbles in the little stream the night before so they had to close it for cleaning. The kids still had fun playing in the big fountains.
Luckily Andrew provided some entertainment with his talents.



The kids enjoyed their snack bags

Popsicles

and cupcakes (chocolate chip cupcakes of course).

Daddy kicked the ball around with the kids

Then it was about time to sing Happy Birthday



and open presents. Grandma Cottle we have a special video of Jane opening her goods but it is so long it will not upload and I didn't get any pictures since we have a whole video of it. I will have Andrew send it to you.

I'm going to be a rock star now!

I was determined to get Reynolds in the water to wash him off from his two cupcakes.

"Let go of me Mom I got this!"

"Oh wow that is cold"

"but this is pretty fun"

This is Jane in one of her new dresses that her Grandma Cottle made for her.


Cute little kids!
