more cousin birthday celebrating

All of our cousins [so far] have August birthdays.  Towards the beginning of the month, baby cousin Leo turned one.  The end of the month means celebrating cousins Carter & Callen's births.

Debbie and I loaded up my 3 kids + baby Leo one Saturday morning and headed to Birmingham to celebrate Carter & Callen's birthdays.

Carter had a "friend" party that morning.  He invited all his friends over to jump in a Toy Story bounce house, play sports, eat chicken fingers and Toy Story cake.



Carter & Owen playing football.



Baby Leo chased a ball around in the grass.

After all the kids left, the cousins had the bounce house all to themselves...



They had a fabulous time playing...we are so glad our two cousins are back in the South and closer to "home".



Leo loved having the bounce house all to himself.



Then a wild indian joined him.



And a wild indian he was in that bounce house. He would run around and then fling himself into one of the sides.

Aunt Stacey & Uncle Jerald took the big kids back to "Aunt Stacey's Hotel" for a dip in the pool.  The little kids took some form of a rest/nap...then it was time to celebrate Callen turning 2 and Carter turning 4 with all the family.  Uncle Nicholas grilled some mean hamburgers & hot dogs.  Debbie and I whipped up some tomato pies...



...to go with all the other sides.

It was so fun getting to celebrate birthdays with all the cousins!
