May 17th & 18th

Yes, still playing catch up on our blog and at some point it will no longer feel like work as I will be caught up and enjoy posting again with more current and fun stories.

In the mean time let me get back to what has been happening to the BS Family!

The kids had separate 11th birthday parties this year, a first for them.

Jo Party

Crimson, Karly, Jo & Simone

Jo's gift from us was a trip to paint ceramics with her friends.

This was an activity she has wanted for quite some time and now we have this beautiful ceramic unicorn decorating our home.

Back to the house for gifts and desert.

and then crashing in the living room for a night of giggling and secrets.

It was a very happy Birthday for Jo!

Cole Party

After pizza we headed out to have the party gift Cole has been asking years to have!

Paintball!

Ian, Sam, Gavin & Cole

The boys were a little nervous about paintball until they each got hit once or twice then they were all like "YEAH, AWESOME" and so on.

No fun here!

Ended the evening with a little ice-cream refresher at DQ and an over night stay.

Last thought: I found it interesting and or funny the type of gifts girls vs boys bring to a birthday party. Jo received pretty things and Pet Shops, basically the same types of gifts she has received over the past few years. Cole on the other hand got gift cards of money and or money. Guys are simple and like I guess, "Here, have money so you can buy your own thing." They both loved their days and gifts.
