Birthdays and Birthday Parties

My babies are growing up! We kicked off the summer by celebrating Kirsten's fourth birthday. She's getting to be such a big girl and is always mommy's little helper getting the boys things that they need and keeping them in line (she's a sassy one for sure!). 
We celebrated on her birthday with cupcakes and her best friend since birth, Nathan. 


They say that babies don't play together, but Nathan and Kirsten were the exception always following each other around from toy to toy, even when they were itty-bitty! Here's a picture from play group when they were only a few months old. 


We are so blessed to be able to be stationed together again! Kirsten missed her Natey-dawg while we were in Texas! 

These two celebrated their birthdays together at The Little Gym, and had a fantastic time! A big thank you to Karen for suggesting a joint party and organizing things before we even made it into town! 




The next birthday we celebrated was Caleb's first birthday. This little guy has gotten so big and brings so much joy to our lives! 
Here is a picture of him when we brought him home from the nicu. He barely fit in his carseat at only 4 pounds! 


And here is a recent photo. He is up to 18 pounds and 28.5 inches!


Since the 4th of July was the day that we brought him home, we celebrated Caleb's birthday with a red, white, and blue themed party. It was so much fun to celebrate our little guy with some old friends and some great new friends as well! I was so busy having fun that I didn't snap many pictures during the festivities, but here are a few that I took before everyone arrived. 



And here's the birthday boy!



Thanks to everyone who helped us celebrate!
