This year we decided to combine birthday party celebrations for Hunter and Aimee. Since their 'special days' are only 2 days apart, September 17th and September 19th, we had DOUBLE-THE-FUN at a surprise "Bowling Birthday." We went to Jack & Jill Lanes in American Fork--and had yummy burgers (classic birthday junk food ;-) and milkshakes followed by the long-awaited 'present opening ceremony.' Hunter got lots of games (Risk, Life, HeroScape) and a microscope that attaches to the TV for viewing up-close investigations of bugs, rocks, dirt, etc...Part MythBusters, part Discovery Channel!!
Aimee Madeleine got a new Care Bear (her MOST FAV THING), her 1st real doll and a DVD and tub toy of the Little Mermaid (her second FAV THING!.)
Then it was on to bowling--which none of us are good at! The kids LOVED the whole thing, from getting special bowling shoes to picking their balls. Reilly was SO EXCITED, he ran into someone else's lane, took a ball and tried to play!! In the end, it was a tie with Reilly and Hunter fighting for top place. Mommy came in 'dead last'--but Aimee came in 3rd place (bowled by Mommy--go figure????.)

Can't believe it's been three months since we've seen you! The kids look GREAT! I love the bowling shoes picture....Aimee's little foot...too cute! Seems like yesterdsay that we were giving Ray directions back to your house!
Cute, cute pics! Ugh-bowling...I always come in last place too; then I remind myself, "if this were miniature golf, I would have won!" Aimee DEFINITELY looks like she has established herself with princess status. Jen loved the only-girl thing growing up.
