Happy 8th Birthday, Carter Mike!

Happy Birthday to our nephew/cousin, Carter Mike!!!
~~~
We went to Menomonie on Sunday to help Carter celebrate his 8th birthday with family and some friends. It was a great day for a waterpark birthday!
~~~
Carter's mom and dad brought cupcakes and snacks for everyone to enjoy for the afternoon...
~~~
Everyone had a good time visiting.
Jamie had a good time terrorizing the little kids...
~~~
It was a good day to spend with family.
Abby and Grandpa Ken had fun swimming together!
~~~
Abby always has fun spending time with Grandma Deb...
~~~
Bradley kept his mom and dad busy as he ran back and forth from the pool to the sand area.
I think he was trying to step on his shadow here!
~~~
Bradley had lots of fun climbing the "tower" in the sand play area...
~~~
Carter brought his two friends, Olivia and Maddie, to celebrate his big day...
~~~
Bradley loved the curly slide!

Blowin' out EIGHT candles!
~~~
The chocolate cupcakes were a HUGE hit!
~~~
Time for some swimming!
The Klimie Kids head off for the pool...
~~~
Carter takes the plunge off the big slide!
~~~
Abz does a 360 off of the diving board...
~~~
Andrew performs a flip off of the board...
~~~
Austin executes a perfect dive...
~~~
Paige took the plunge off the board, too!
~~~
Of course, the day wouldn't have been complete without some good, old-fashioned competion between Kenny and LaNita. Last time they met, it was the lawn games at Uncle Jack's birthday party. Today, it was flips off of the diving board!
See for yourself!
~~~
"Leapin' LaNita" showin' those young 'uns how it's done!
~~~
Not to be outdone, "Kannonball Kenny" follows with a big splash of his own!
I hope those two could walk today...
:-)
~~~
Of course, there is always something funny to see everywhere you go. This time, it was pointed out to me by Nicole, and we all had a good laugh at this poor lifeguard's expense....
~~~
Happy Birthday, Carter!
We Love You!

Hi--thanks for visiting my blog and commenting.:) I have tried Topamax--I wish it had helped! It didn't, and I couldn't tolerate the side effects either. Anyway...

Love the picture of your kids that you put on your header. Also love the Grandpa and Abby one. Cute!
