The Big Three-0!

This was a very important and very big year for my hubby Mike. On May 25th he turned 30!!! I can't believe I am married to a 30-year-old! He is sooooo OLD!!! Ha Ha! He didn't want a big party, especially not a surprise party, which is what I was planning to do. So we had a big Jazz birthday cookie and sent him on a little treasure hunt to find his gift. A new TV!!! We've had this little 19" in our room since we've been married and I decided it was time he had something a little bigger and a little nicer so he can watch all the Jazz games he wants! Apparently I didn't get any pictures of the birthday boy on his birthday, but I did take a picture of his big cookie and the kids got a hold of the camera and took some of themselves. We love you Mike!!

Cam Turns 2!

On May 19, 2010 our little blonde boy turned 2! We had a baseball themed party for him at a park after one of Jace's T-Ball games. Cameron is obsessed with balls and sports. He will randomly just name off sports. The funniest was when he was trying to poop and was a little constipated he was saying, "baseball, football, soccer game..." It was like he was thinking happy thoughts in a time of struggle :) So cute!! We got him a T-ball tee, mitt, and balls. He also really loves Meem (Lightning McQueen), so we got him a remote control McQueen for his GeoTrax. We had lots of family there to celebrate with us. The weather was perfect! We had baseball cupcakes, popcorn balls, and ice cream cones. We had just found out that he was no longer allergic to eggs so he was loving those cupcakes!





I can't blog about the party without mentioning what happened to Kaylee! Kaylee had a loose tooth and when she bit into her popcorn ball it popped right out and got stuck in her popcorn ball! Let's just say it surprised her and she wasn't too thrilled about it at first. This is technically the first time she's lost a tooth. She had her bottom teeth pulled by a dentist because her adult teeth popped up behind her baby teeth. So she was definitely not expecting this!

El Cinco De Mayo

Every year, on the 5th of May, the Liljenquist family has a Cinco De Mayo party. It's so fun getting together for tacos and a pinata, and flan if we're lucky :) My brothers usually compete to see who can eat the most tacos. This year most of my brothers were away for work, so the title went to Tom. It's August now so I don't remember how many he ate, but I think he broke a record! The kids loved hitting the pinata. No one was afraid of it this year :)
