Happy Birthday Reagan! (Can't believe she is 8!)

Mom: "It's Reagan's birthday."
Travis: "I know--KEAAHH!" (as he practices his karate)
Birthdays wear Jace out...

Reagan was so excited to turn 8! She loves "catching up" to everyone else since she is a young one for her grade. Eight meant a little more though....with her baptism finally in sight!

Reagan asked only for a gun for her birthday, so of course her Daddy couldn't not get her one! She loved it and was so excited to finally get "her own gun!" Silly girl!

The gun was the highlight of the day....

Reagan wanted to have a small friend party, so of course Mom gave in on this one. Reagan had a PEACE party with 15 friends...it was impossible to try to downsize with her, but it worked out really well just the same.

First, we 'spray' dyed the girls' t-shirts. They were super fun and easy to do and looked so cute too!

Next, we colored trendy dolls....

We ate peace cup cakes and then made our own sundays...the girls loved this!

PEACE is so "in" right now--the girls loved the motif!

Blowing out candles....only a few boyfriends!

Yummy ice cream...

Check out all those toppings!

Reagan got some really fun gifts from her friends...lots of crafty things and even some bling!

EVEN an IPod shuffle from Emma and the Kings! So cool!

These girls are so much fun! Don't ya just love the cute shirts we made?! AND the so cool glasses! I think fun was had by all!

PEACE!!!

Don't forget the backs....

I can't wait to show these pics to them when they are 16!!!!

For her "REAL" party, Reagan had a big family get together at Curtis Landscape where we ate lunch, swam, and just enjoyed each others company. Of course, it was a PEACE party too!

I won Reagan's cute cake last year at our silent auction. The lady did an amazing job don't you think?! The peace sign was white chocolate and it was a chocolate cake with an oreo filling....yumm! It was cute and yummy!

Playing in the pool was so much fun...it was a beautiful day for it! Not too hot, just beautiful!

Even baby Jace liked the water!

Travis was his usual fish self!

Reagan of course loved the attention and the water! No one wanted to get out!

The adults sat and talked and watched the fun...

Reagan and Carson racing...

Mommy giving Travis and Rusten motorboat rides around the pool...

All the kids....lots of family and some special friends :)

Reagan got some super cool gifts....like an autographed book from Aunt Dana and the boys

Blowing out sparkler candles isn't so easy!

Our birthday girl!

All the cousins:

More fun presents...like a new cookbook and apron from Nana

Kaela and Grandma enjoyed the party too!

And a rock tumbler from Grandma and Granddad!

And don't forget playing with these fun gifts! Reagan loved making her own perfume...a cool idea from Aunt Kris and family.

Happy Happy Birthday Reagan! We love you!
