2 for 1 party

Emily planned a big family party to celebrate Shannon, and her birthday's. It was so much fun!

IMG_1782The chefs preparing dinner. They are not afraid to use butter, and therefore make the best grilled cheese sandwiches.

IMG_1784Kaylee enjoyed dinning al fresco with the other children. She was also very happy to see Becca and talk about their first days of kindergarten.

IMG_1785 IMG_1787I asked Kaylee and Becca to be cute. They were very accommodating.

IMG_1788 Regan was pretty mad at me for telling him he couldn't go swimming unless he ate his dinner.

IMG_1795 IMG_1796So he only looks scared. He LOVED going down the slide, and off the diving board. He bounced between the two all night.

IMG_1797 IMG_1804 IMG_1806 IMG_1809The birthday girls. I especially love the candelabra that they shared. Too cute!

IMG_1811 IMG_1822 IMG_1829A few weeks (or longer…) ago Shannon mentioned that she wanted some pizza pans like mine. Apparently she had to double bake her crust so it wasn't soggy! The horror! She asked where I got mine. They were a hand me down from my Mom. Mom where did you get the awesome things? Anyway, I began my search for some for her so her pizza night is faster/easier.

IMG_1831I made Emily a gag shirt, that I really quite like, and better yet so did she! She had been pinning lots of Bull dog things on pinterest lately. AND her brother and SIL just got the sweetest bull dog the night of the party and brought her to play. So I will be making a couple more shirts for her Mom and SIL. Happy day.

IMG_1834  Amy did some super fun face painting on the girls. They were all different and all SO cute.IMG_1807 IMG_1843Kaylee had remnants of face paint in her hair line for several days. It was such a fun party. We always love getting together with family.

Side notes: Thanks to Dwayne for looking at my van, and Dave for looking at my hubby. It's always a very good thing to have a mechanic, and a Dr. you know, love, and trust!

 

First day of Kindergarten!

I wanted Kaylee's morning to be special and fun. Last night she was SO nervous she couldn't eat. I didn't want a hungry belly to ruin her first day of school. Jon thought I was silly, but went along with my wishes. He's cool like that.

Also we are looking on the bright side and happy that Jon has this week off for Dr. appointments and tests. It was so nice that he was able to go see her off on her first day.

I tried to bribe both Kaylee and Jon awake with her favorite breakfast. The house smelled so yummy and she gave me a happy tired clap before letting me know she just needed to snuggle more.

So I let the sleepy heads snuggle and wished I could join them.

Jon is less that pleased by his voice these days. Kaylee loved the song anyway.

As you can see we were at the Dr.'s getting more blood work done before taking Kaylee to school. And Kaylee's face in the photo kills me. Love this girl.

Regan was devastated that he didn't get to stay for school. He just wanted his sister. Getting in the van and leaving the school without her was hard for him.

Kaylee changed into one of her leotards when she got home and had a smoothie pop to help cool off before tackling her homework. She had an amazing day, and can't wait to go back.

"Mom, that was fun. Can I go back again?"
