Luau - 4th Birthday Party

Addison, Emily, and Hailey are turning FOUR YEARS OLD on Monday.  Time is just FLYING by.  So, since they have school on their actual birthday, we had a few friends over to celebrate their birthday yesterday.  It was a little luau!!  We did the Limbo and watched a little kid dvd that taught you how to hula dance :)...and colored monkey pictures and of course, ate food and birthday cake!
Addy, Emily, and Hailey - silly four year olds....

 Coloring with friends...

 Gotta have fun glasses/straws at a Luau....

 And yes I'm totally cheesy...but I love it. :)

 We had asked everyone to come barefoot to the luau and in lieu of a gift, to bring some old shoes to donate to the organization called Soles for Jesus that gives shoes to children in Africa....

but our friends were extra generous and brought Addy, Emily, and Hailey a gift too! 

 Sweet Addy - we started singing "Happy Birthday" to her...and she just hates having all the attention on her....so she started bawling..

 1 minute later Em was born, so 1 minute later we sang to Emily!

 and 1 minute later Hailey was born!!  Happy Birthday!

 Then last weekend, I ran and the girls and Ry walked in the Komen Race for the Cure.  It's a 5K run and lots of people from our church ran in honor of a friend who is fighting against breast cancer right now.  We were supposed to dress up like pirates since we were on "Rachel's Raiders" team. :) (Hence the pink eye patch on my head) :)
 I run and think about all the people that I know that have been affected by cancer. It's really powerful to run and see so many people with tags on their backs in honor of people they know that have battled cancer...
 I wish I could have met you Annette K. (Ryan's Grandma)..I miss you Grandpa K, Grandpa P, Uncle Butch and I celebrate with you Survivors - Cousin Laura, Aunt Pauline, and friend Kara.
