Birthdays Galore!!


Lots of Birthdays goin on 'round here!!


Practically sisters! Julie & I have known each other our entire lives. Seriously!
We share the exact same birthdays, middle names,
danced together & our moms are best friends too!
So, Happy Birthday to us! Way back on April 3rd.
Having a B-day lunch together with the moms & sisters at Nandos.
Coles having a hay day with his cousin Tatums new birthday toy at her 1st birthday party last night. She turned one on May 7th, which makes Cole & Tatum only 4 days apart! Can't get much closer than that!

HAPPY 1st BIRTHDAY COUSIN TATUM!
She sure LOVED that cake!
All the Jenkins ladies (& my grandma Evi visiting from California) at the great restaurent Maggianos in Scottsdale for my Dad & sister Brecks Birthdays. My dads was April 30th & Brecks was on May 2nd. If you've never been to Maggianos, then I highly recommend it! Its best to go with a group and do it family style platters, including a 3 course gourmet italian meal. We were stuffed to the gills!
At Red Robin with my family for my Birthday Dinner on April 3rd. My parents gave me this most beautiful picture personally signed by Greg Olson with a personal message to me on the back! I love it! He does signings every so often & he used to be in my parents ward years ago, so my parents got me the sweet hookups!

My younger sister Breck & I at my B-Day dinner. We had lots of fun!




HAPPY 1st BIRTHDAY COLE!
We Love You!



Coles favorite thing - water!

We had a family birthday pool party on May 3rd in the dance studio and the front lawn. Cole got lots of sweet hookups (gifts) that he's been thoroughly enjoying. It worked out perfect for fitting everybody in comfortably to watch Cole get into the presents and cake and then moved outside for food and pool time for the kids.

Whoa! My 1st live pet!
Yes, that's Coles chicken with extra toes and a fro to boot. A gift from his cousins.
And he loves it! But I don't think the chick likes to be batted at or its feathers pulled!
No worries though, its survived Cole and our other two chickens so far! Yep, if you
didnt know, we already have 2 other chickens that lay us eggs every day. Now you
can't get more organic than that! While most other people have dogs - we have chickens for pets.


These are Cole's littest cousins and closest in age with the twins 2 weeks younger and Kya 2 1/2 mo. older. Lil Tatum is missing cuz their family had the stomach flu and she is just 4 days younger than Cole.


YUM!! CAKE!!
Actually, that's about the extent to which Cole wanted to get into that cake.
He def. doesn't have a sweet tooth (yet).
There's lots to look forward to this coming year for this lil man!
