Party Weekend!

The year Luke turned 1, I planned two parties in two weeks. I declared it was too much work and vowed not to do it again.

The last two years the kids have had one party, but this year E decided to have a sleepover in lieu of a party. Due to scheduling conflicts (namely of the football nature), the sleepover ended up falling on the same weekend as Luke's party.

Two parties in two weeks was a gravy train compared to two parties in two days!

Needless to say, it was a busy weekend. But fun. Lots and lots of fun. I love celebrating my babies!

Friday afternoon started like this...

Proceeded like this...

And ended like this...

(notice we added a girl...Sweet Sarah and her mommy came to eat with me so I wouldn't have to

be by myself and she decided she wanted to come spend the night...she's never stayed away from

home besides grandparents, so her mommy had her doubts...but she made it the entire night!)

 Yesterday was party day for Luke. He wanted Ninja Turtles,

but considering our history with sword fights I played "bad

mom" and refused. His second choice was Mickey Mouse, and

since he's talked about "turning 4 and playing t-ball" for over a

year we decided to go with that. We had a bounce house in the

 gym, and it was, honestly, the easiest party I've ever planned!

Happy Birthday to my most precious gifts!

It's Hat Day!

Music

Our kids LOVE music. Or "musgic" as Luke would say. They go to sleep with Pandora on their iPads every night (unless they've lost the iPad/music as punishment;).

Occasionally (as in nearly every night) we get a concert. Mostly from the boy. His room is on one end of the house and we can usually hear him singing on the other end.

Tonight he was belting out Blessed Be Your Name (until he realized I was watching).



And, yes, he is still in a baby bed. We fully intend to move him into a "big bed" when we move into our new house, but for now he doesn't climb out (I know, shocker!) and it works for us. And so far the only person to make fun of him has been his "Granny" Ashley K. ;)

Hey Gators!

We spent the day in T-Town at the Bama/Florida game.
Thankfully, the second half was much better than the first and

we got to sing Rammer Jammer to a sea of blue and orange. :)

Thank you, Nana, for watching the babies!

Like Father, Like Son {plural}

No two boys have ever been any

more like their daddies than these...

Cheer Camp

E has been at cheer camp all week, and they performed before the

game tonight. I love that girl and her "personality" on the field! ;)

 

Allison & E - I taught Allison the year I had Emma!
