Melody turned 9! (6 weeks ago!)

Ok I am a little late getting this posted, BUT better late than never, right?

For Melody's birthday, we went bowling. It was a very small party, but we had fun and didn't blow a lot of money, which was my overall goal. Melody had 4 friends attend...Kayla, Mercy, Danae, and Matthew. Her Grandma and Aunt Beth came and of course mom, dad, and brother were there too.

Time for cake, but mom forgot the candles (oops)

Her one gift from mom and dad
I think she likes it

Here are some photos of Ian. I was so proud of him. He stayed in his stroller most of the time and was rather entertained by the kids. He even tried to hold a bowling ball.

And back to Melody:

We did candles on a 1/2 eaten cake at home
