Elise's Birthday

I can't believe we celebrated Elise's 5th birthday here in the Kingdom! She had SO many birthday celebrations! She is one lucky little girl.

We strolled the little red wagon down to the party!

End of Pre-K and Josh's birthday

I can't believe that Elise finished her pre k year and in Saudi Arabia, no less!! 

She had an amazing teacher and I'm so proud of how she has grown this year.

Yes, she's wearing lipstick in these pictures...I pick my battles! 😂😂

That night, we celebrated Josh's birthday! Claire loves singing, "hoppy birttttdddaaayy"

Goggles and cake

My friends at murjan took me to a really nice brunch for my birthday. We were very impressed because the waiters sang the song and had flaming candles! 

The cheesecake was very yummy! I'm so thankful for these girls! 

For Josh's birthday, I cooked and we had yummy birthday cake! 

Yes, he asked for those goggles. I'm still confused about their purpose. 

Josh surprised me this year with my very own cake! I always joke that I never get a cake because we always eat his leftover cake on my birthday! It was delicious and a nice surprise! 

We spent the week playing with friends and doing swim lessons.

A lady from Germany is teaching Elise swim lessons twice a week. Claire and I are doing a mommy and me class. The mommy and me class is more like a class where you hope your baby can stay in the water without losing it for 30 minutes. 

Claire is usually done within 10.

We went out to the beach one evening. The temperature these days is a high of 109. The beach is like warm, bath water. We usually don't do anything outside anymore during the day. 

We hosted a Memorial Day party at our house last night. We put the jump house up in the backyard and we grilled out. It was great to have everyone over!
