Flyin' High

It was a little windy out this afternoon, so the kids and I decided to try our hands at flying kites.

Cooper's kite is a monkey

this was the first time he'd ever flown a kite by himself
Reagan's princess kite

she refused to have her picture made today!

Happy Birthday to Me!

Today is my 37th (gasp!) birthday. When Greg came home from work, he brought a small party with him!

The cupcakes

Me and the kids ~ Cooper holding the balloon

Reagan's turn to hold the balloon
Reagan wanted to take a picture of me and Greg ~ here's her 1st attempt
