Happy Birthday, Paige

Paige turned 7 on Friday, August 28th. I can't believe it's been 7 years already, where does the time go?

When she got up in that morning, Josh made her "birthday" pancakes before school. They are just like regular pancakes, just made for you on your birthday. We also let her open her presents from us, Grandma and Grandpa, and the Anliker's because she invited 3 of her friends to go to King's Pointe water park in Storm Lake after school.

After picking up the kids, we headed to Storm Lake, stopping first at Burger King for supper because we let Paige choose where to eat.

The kids had a great time at the water park. I don't have many pictures since kids + water + camera = bad idea.

We got back to our house about 9:30 and let them eat cupcakes and ice cream before Paige opened more presents. Josh took Conner home (no boy-girl sleepovers allowed) and Abbrielle and Azzia spent the night. We moved Paige's mattress into the living room and they had a slumber party out there, with one girl on the couch, one on the love seat and one on the mattress.

Paige got the Hannah Montana movie as one of her gifts, so they wanted to watch that. At midnight I shut off the TV and told the 2 that were still awake it was time for bed. We didn't even hear any giggling or talking after lights out. Bet that doesn't happen for long.

Saturday morning we took the girls home and just kinda vegged out at home until late afternoon when it was time to head to Algona to watch Josh race. Paige got to flag the hot laps since it was her birthday the day before. She talked to Grant the flagman last week and asked if she could flag. She had a great time!

Yep...that's her dad's car in front of her

We headed to Emmetsburg today for the go-kart races. She only has one race left.

What a busy weekend! Wasn't it just a short time ago I was complaining because I felt like we had nothing interesting going on to blog about?
