Two Birthdays, One Pool Party

  Having birthdays just a few weeks apart, our kids celebrated together this year with one big pool party. Everyone had a blast - the kids loved swimming in the pool, and afterwards we had pizza and cupcakes. Such fun and so easy! In addition to the Jensen grandparents, we had three other families join us. We are so blessed and just couldn't ask for better friends. 
FarFar and FarMor were so helpful with the kids in the pool. It was Travis' first swimming experience and he was just a little scared at first, but soon was jumping off the side of the pool into Daddy's arms. It sure is fun watching your kids experience something so fun for the very first time!

 Cassidy overcame her fear and learned to jump into the pool too! Thanks, FarFar, for the encouragement and for being a safe place to land! 

  Cassidy's favorite part in the water was swimming on her back. She still talks about it, and even interrupted her preschool teacher this morning to tell her, "I can swim on my back!"

 Cassidy, Ruby, Travis and Blake, having fun with the balloons!
 Charlotte got in on the balloon fun too.
 Cassidy requested a rainbow cake, so I made these rainbow cupcakes. With just a little creativity and a whole lot of food coloring, one can accomplish anything! Ha!
 
 On top of everything else, the kids got awesome presents from their friends! Thanks so much, everyone!

 Travis was so tired by this point, I think he may be briefly asleep in this picture.
