"Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal." 2 Corinthians 4:16-18

kaine's birthday party

We had Kaine's birthday party at Dave and Terri's house on Friday night (thanks, mom and dad!).  It was lots of fun, and Kaine got so many neat things!  Just what he needed 2 weeks after Christmas:)  Anyway, we really appreciate everyone who came to the party and for his presents.  I think he had a blast at his party!




Nathan did a GREAT job decorating Kaine's Nemo cake!  We ordered a cake topper-thing online and it didn't come in time!  It was kind of annoying, but it turned out okay because my hubby is such a great artist:)

The finished cake--good job, Natie!

Kaine loved his cake, too!

Another example of Nathan's talent--he actually made this pinata!!  Jenna (his sis) helped.  They did such an awesome job--I think it looked professional.

Kaine is taking a swing at it.  It was pretty strong--it took Kaine a LOT of tries to bust it open!

One of the things inside the pinata was suckers.  Kaine had one in his mouth pretty much the whole night:)

Halle was enjoying the tissue paper

Kaine was so excited to get this really awesome Cars tent.  It was really neat!  Thanks, mom and dad!

Here is Kaine trying out his tent.  He wanted to be in there the whole evening, playing with all his new stuff.

Halle found one of Kaine's suckers.  I let her suck on it with the paper on, but then the paper came off and she was just eating pure sucker.  I think she is a little young yet for a sucker, so I had to take it away from her...

...which never goes over well:)

Happy Birthday, Kaine!
