Birthday Part Two

We had a family birthday party for Amber tonight. We had her favorite dinner, Taco's, and then had a Pinata filled with 2 gigantic bags of candy, and then cake and ice cream. We had a great night! Any excuse to get together with family is a great day!

Amber, Aubrey, Cole, Skyler, Katie, Andy, Parker, Will, Spencer, Emily, Emily, Kiley, Issak and Taten. We had a combined Deming/Morgan family party.

Amber takes the first swing!
Taten ended the first round with a solid decapitation.







I love this picture of Will. It's so typical to see a little crack!


Spencer took baseball this Spring, which gave him the proper skill for today!


Taten finishes it off and the kids went wild!






Avery, so sweet!

Cute little Cole.

Amber isn't really a cake person. She is a candy/ice cream junkie! So her cake was an ice cream candy cake! It was three layers of different ice creams, with candy on top and around the sides. It was a huge hit! I had asked her weeks ago what kind of cake she wanted. Her reply: "I want a pink cake with rainbows and unicorns." So, she got a pink ice cream cake with rainbow colors and toy unicorns. We all loved it!

What a cute little six year old!

Happy Birthday Amber

Happy 6th Birthday Amber! We had a great day filled with breakfast cake, presents, lunch with cousins at Chic Fillet (complete with a little toy & a strawberry shake for the birthday girl!), a crown from her Kindergarten class, and a big birthday bash at night! It was a really fun, happy day for Amber. We were bummed the weather wasn't great (first time we've seen rain on her birthday in six years!). But it was still a success!

Amber got a hula-hoop that she is already a pro at! I love watching her! She was so kind today and was willing to share all her new birthday toys with Parker and Aubrey.

Of course a new DVD!

Amber got a barbie with a show horse that actually trots around. It was a hit! She has enjoyed playing with it all day.

She also got a new (must needed) nightgown. She has been wearing her 3T Dora Nightgown for the past three years! It is tiny, ripped, torn, and just plane too small.

Aubrey loved her new chapstick from the party favor bag.

Amber got a lot of fun things from friends. She has some very generous and kind friends! It was fun to have them all here.

Singing happy birthday!

The infamous "thimble" game. It's a Morgan classic! The kids loved it, and I'm pretty sure everyone got a little wet.

Brooke was here for the party, and it was so great!!!! She was a huge help, the kids loved her! Thank you Brooke for coming and for all your help! Carden's Mom Abby was there too which was super helpful. I don't know what I would have done with out them!

Here are some of my favorite things about Amber:

She is kind

She is giving

She helps me

She is funny and enjoys making us laugh, and LOVES to be silly

She loves to scare people, and will sneak out of bed to find us and scream to scare us

She is so happy

She loves treats just like her mom!

She loves movies just like her mom!

She is a daddy's girl (not my favorite thing, but dad's!)

She enjoys being outside

Happy Birthday to my sweet, kind, loving little Amber!

Amber Lost Her First Tooth!

It was a big day today at the Deming house! Amber lost her first tooth! We've been waiting for this day for months now! It first became loose months ago when she was using her teeth to pull off her glove. She wouldn't let Matt or me go near it for all these months. We've tried and tried to just give it a little tug here and a little tug there, but honestly she flat out refused! Today it was literally dangling but again, she wouldn't let us even get close to touching it. Matt had to practically pin her down, gave one small little tug and it was out! Amber was freaking out; screaming, sweating, panting, shouting...going nuts! Matt and I were laughing because we knew there was no way it hurt! After she calmed down a little bit we hear her tell Parker "that didn't even hurt." We knew that was the truth. There is no way she even felt it. It was practically out already. I feel bad we laughed so much, but it really was pretty funny! It's a fun memory for us all! We had to Skype everyone we knew to tell them the good news. Getting Amber to sleep tonight was rough. She was asking question after question about the tooth fairy. Is it a girl? Is she small? Does she wear a backpack? Does she keep a list like Santa? Does she wear a watch? I love the curiosity!

Happy Birthday Aubrey!

Happy Birthday to my little baby Aubrey! Or our little Missy as we like to call her. I can't believe she is two. She seems too little to be two! We had a great day with her on Sunday. We woke up and were excited to sing Happy Birthday to her. Amber and Parker were SO excited to open presents. We came downstairs to the smell of breakfast cake, and a special place sitting for Aubrey. We immediately had to open her presents. This year, she got a little something she loves that her brother and sister already have. She got a pillow pet, new boots, a zhu-zhu pet, and a new baby Einstien DVD. All her presents were an immediate hit, and here we are a week later, and she loves them just as much! She sleeps with the pillow pet daily, wears her boots daily, and listens to her DVD/CD daily (and sleeps with her zhu-zhu pet). I'd say we nailed it with the gifts!

She has this thing with Baby Einstein. We only have two other DVD's, and the first time she watched it, she became instantly obessed. She wanted to watch them 24-7, and LOVED to carry the cases around everywhere we went. I had to have them when going to the store, the post office, the bank, car pool, friends houses, CHURCH! It was getting a little ridiculous, and kind of embarrassing.

Completely dog chewed, and almost a hazzard if you ask me. She is so stubborn and had to carry this thing around everywhere (the DVD isn't even inside!). She is a little nut.

Aubrey can talk really well, and likes to copy everything everyone says. She has the cutest listtle voice. Here are some fun facts about Aubrey:

1. She likes to pick her nose

2. She loves books

3. She won't give up the binky

4. She is already very concerned about the clothes she wears, including her pajamas

5. You loves her Dad
