Family Birthday

this past weekend we had Chasen's family birthday party!
Nebraska had a by week so we just had hawkeye football to watch and it was a bad one :( 
Lily and Ara each adopted a kitten for the day and played with them in my bed!
alyssa set up a hair station in my bathroom earlier in the morning and fixed everyone's hair!!
my gandma's my mom and my aunt!
the kids also did their fair share of running around and wrestling and chasen tripped up the stairs and hit his shin and foot really hard!! had to take a break to ice it!
there was an afternoon dance party complete with flips
 
we paused the awful game and opened gifts!!
lots of legos, which was great because he only had one and really likes them and can follow the directions and put them together without help!
love  the sun glasses!
and he got lots of books annnd
HE CAN READ THEM!!
i haven't updated on the boys much lately but Chasen can read, he could sound out words before he went to kindergarten but now he can really make it all come together! It's still pretty slow going but he read an entire book at church on sunday!
look at that crew! We have an AWESOME family :)
and Im always so grateful to have them all here. all of chasen's grandparents, great grandparents, aunts, (the uncles couldn't come) great aunts and uncle, cousins and dog uncle, buster!
it's controlled chaos and we love it!
no crazy fancy cake this year..but they were chocolate filled cupcakes with gold frosting for the hawks! ... it didn't help :(
I had bought this for uncle jaxie to ware so the kids could play with him, but grandma took his place!
 such a cute bunch!
the grandmas!
without them Ean and I would never go anywhere alone!
we ate supper and then people started to leave
my mom and dad and alyssa took the kids swimming at the hotel
the rest of us watched football
and kevin got cozy with uncle Dave!
there was also a good 30 minutes worth of dance off's 
chasen was being shy
 
but not dash, he had alllll the moves!
 
the next morning we ate lunch and hiked at palisades park before everyone headed home :(
I still can't believe my baby is 6!!
