Leah's 7th Birthday

All of the family came over to celebrate. Leah enjoys spending time in the spotlight.


Kylie and Claire enjoyed pushing each other around in the toy shopping cart.


Claire was hanging out with Grandpa too!


The kids always get to pick their cake. Leah tries to challenge me. This year she went for the Gehrig cake. It was a yummy pound cake with whip cream and strawberry filling.

Here we go!

Leah's 7th Birthday Party

Leah wanted to have a DIY Party (Do it Yourself).

Leah is getting so big!

We made scarves and strung beads on the end. Grandma and Nonni were here to help.

The girls were able to decide on how they wanted their pasta. (And of course, they also had Leah's favorite - broccoli!) They chatted like they were high school girls having lunch.

They were able to decorate their cupcakes anyway they wanted to! We ended up with more sprinkles than cupcake.

The girls with all of their DIY items, bracelets and scarves: Leah, Maddie, Alyssa, Makenzie, Maya, Anna, Gabby, Olivia & Sidney.

Leah learns to ride a bike!

I have bragged about our neighbors before. As many friends know, whenever a house is for sale on our court, I try to get everyone I know to buy it. We are lucky to live here!

The boys across the street have helped both Jared and Leah learn how to ride their bikes.

Lucas & Kyle hanging out!

Leah trying to maneuver through the hockey players. Even Duke is helping out.



It took a lot of courage to get going!

Success! It didn't take long before she was circling the court.

It was a tiring day!
