At the start of summer I have this amazing work-out routine that gets me totally ready for bathing suit weather.  It’s my annual Wright Family Birthday Marathon, which involves stuffing my face with as much cake, ice cream and frosting as I can muster…all in honor of Yours Truly (May 4), the Hubs (June 9), the Little Mister (June 15), and the Little Miss (July 9) turning yet another year older.

We should really swap the sweets for some carrots and cardio, but where’s the fun in that?!?

It’s always a highlight to celebrate the Little Mister and Little Miss with family and with friends…even if my waistline is “augmented” in the process.  This year we whooped it up with some great pals at Pump it Up.

It was such a great group of kids, which included cousins and pals from preschool, church, playgroup, and our neighborhood.  We love them all, and all their silly ways!

The (many) Littles kicked off the party by burning their (boundless) energy in the play arenas…

And then they refueled in the party room with some snacks and cupcakes.  All this to say that the kiddos started the morning pretty keyed up and ended it completely wired and batty!

To all my parent friends out there who attended, all I can say is…you’re welcome.

But with faces like these there’s no way you can be mad.  Can I hear an “Amen”?!?

I just love those sweet cheeks.

We love birthdays.  And this one was pretty darn fun.

Especially when I came home to a clean house and put my (very HAPPY and very TIRED) kids down for a nap.

Amen!!!
