Birthday Parties!

Yesterday we all got together, at Scott and Leslie's - in Toledo, to celebrate my Dad (?), Chandler (11), and Barb's (?) birthdays. Every year we all gather together to help them celebrate. Once the candles were blown out the food fight began between Papa and Chandler. It all started with dad (Papa) wiping icing on Chandler's face...and it all went down hill from there. I think this would have to go down as the most entertaining party ever.Chandler couldn't let Papa get off so he grabbed a cupcake and the war was on.
I have to say that Chandler got several good shots in....but it was nothing compared to the shot that Papa got off on him.

This year, Chandler wanted a cookie for his cake. I guess he finally decided to tell his mom that he really doesn't like cakes and especially the Suzy-Q cake that we all make every year for every birthday. Happy 11th birthday Chandler!!!

Aunt Barb was able to make it with grandma Friesner. I guess last year she wasn't able to make it.

It was so nice to see Chandler with Hailey. Even though there is about 10 years difference between them he still took the time to swing with her on the swing and have so one-on-one time with her. Chandler was so gentle with her, it was really sweet.
Aunt Barb and Grandma Friesner were able to meet Hailey for the first time also. The sad thing is, the last time that I saw them was just over 2 years ago and they were meeting Hunter for the first time....and he was 4 months old at the time.
Hunter had fun with his Aunt Pokie (Shannon) popping all of the bubble that came his way!
What a great picture - Scott with his sons, Chandler (11) and Mason (6 - almost 7).

This one I'm not so sure about....Hailey loves to be upside down. Mom (grandma) was having a time trying to get her to sit up the right way...good thing she was ready for her and didn't drop her.
The Friesner/Miller family picture. This was the first time that we have had a picture with everyone. Sorry that Jason and Leslie's older sister Lisa, and her family, weren't able to make it. Who knows when everyone will be together again like this. It's getting harder for Grandma Friesner to travel.
Hunter with his Great Aunt Barbie together again after 2 years.
Grandma Friesner - it was something for me to be able to get her picture taken without her big black sunglasses on. I told her I would only take a head shot and that she didn't really have to smile if she didn't want to...guess it worked.
Hailey was so funny with the slide...we couldn't keep her off of it. She would keep trying to climb up it so that she could slide down. She has no fear! I think if she could have she would have climbed all the way to the top of the treehouse. I guess I will have to wait until next year and then I will find her at the top.

Well, I guess this was one way for Hailey to get to the top. Thank you Chandler! I can't wait till the kids are older and look back at these pictures to see how they have grown.
Hailey was so funny, she spent the day making the rounds. I believe she made it to everyone...although I don't know if she make it to Mr. Miller or not.
The gang helped Chandler put his birthday present together. The boys were all waiting to Chandler put the rocket together so that they could all play. You don't think that they honestly sat there like that for no reason.
Hailey all bathed and ready for bed...waiting to go home. She made her last visit with Mrs. Miller before leaving for home.
