Weekend Trip and Birthdays

Last weekend Will and I headed back to Iowa to see family and for birthday fun! Thursday was mom's birthday and Saturday night was Miss Ella's 5th birthday party with her actual birthday being on Sunday. Will loves, loves, loves birthdays so he was super excited for both!!
I didn't get many pictures from the weekend...just a few from the party. Ella's theme was "rock star"!

Miss Ella opening presents. I can't believe she is 5 already...how time flies!

Clarie let all the balloons go so the entertainment of the party was watching Erick jump up to get the them down. All the girls were chanting for him and yelling out the color of balloon they wanted. Very cute!




Then Uncle Trent came and "helped" Will get the balloons! They were the new heroes = )


Other than the party, Will played with his cousins, went swimming at the Y, played at Grandma's house, and played some more with his cousins! It was a great weekend and tons of fun. Will keeps asking when we are going back = ) I also got to see two great friends from high school, one on the way there and one on the way home. I love that they are both closer to home now so I get to see them more! It was a great weekend but as I always say...it went way too quickly!
