Ellia's ongoing birthday continued at Build-A-Bear with her friends.
She was so excited as they each arrived that when she ran to give one little girl a hug (who was also running) they grasped each other and fell over sideways.
They all got to choose an animal to stuff and play fun games with.
Putting makeup on the bear!
Brushing the animals.
Can you believe they all posed for a picture at once?
Just one picture though!
Back at the house for presents, ice cream and cake.
Then of course the following day we had to have friends over to play with all the fun new toys!
Fourth of July bike parade, breakfast and swimming at the park - (on July 3rd)
It all wore Ellia right out.
but after a night's sleep she was ready to celebrate her birthday again - her REAL birthday this time!
the cake
the culprit
and of course we ended the evening with some fireworks in the street. After the first few she didn't like them, Ashlyn just stared, and we ended with lots of pop's which Ellia had a nice sidearm throw for - she also liked jumping on them.
Jer took his scouts on one last overnight campout to prepare for Mt Whitney
A friends birthday party that pulled out all the stops!
petting zoo...
pinata....
(thanks to Joe for putting Ellia right in the middle of the action!)
pony rides........
and water fun!
Ellia's swim class
Ashlyn gets really jealous when it isn't her turn to take a bath
We have this little rubber snake that Ashlyn loves to chew on, it is so funny to see it hanging out of her mouth that I had to post the pictures.
oops, sometimes when she smiles it falls out!
Baby Play date. These little girls are all within 4 months of each other. From left to right, January, December, November, February.
Ashlyn was way too into the glasses so she had to be separted from Violet.
This might look innocent enough but there was a lot of baby dunking going on!
Ellia's fairy tale theatre group. They met for three days and learned a song and dance to perform for the senior citizens.
After all the activities this week, Ellia was beat. This is one of her favorite play spots and this time she just zonked out there, and it took us a minute to find her. (who does that sound like mom?)

Once I was under the dining room table, and another time I was on the front porch.

Wow that is a lot of stuff.
Boy your girls sure look alike huh? I love when siblings look alike.
Also I laughed that you had pictures of a scout camp out.
My husband has been a scout master going on 8 years in a row now, and we literally have 7 pictures maybe of the almost 70 campouts he has taken boys on. And they are all from the same camp. You keep making him take pictures of what he is doing.
