Pirate party

Kaylee was a little disappointed when we got home from being rescued off the side of the road. I told her I just didn't think I could do one more thing today. She understood, after all she was there for the puke and fire! But she was disappointed. And then the Mama guilt set in….

IMG_3197Aunt Emily to the rescue! I called Emily and she had not left for the party yet. YEA! So she swung by the house and picked up Kaylee. Kaylee was on cloud nine.

IMG_3199Emily's sweet heart of a niece Becca and Kaylee get along smashingly. Kaylee was so excited when she was invited to Becca's pirate birthday party. And even more excited to actually be able to go.

IMG_3200She was beyond DONE when she got home that night. Emily not only took Kaylee to the party, but she fed her lunch and dinner too. In all the craziness I totally forgot to feed my child lunch!

So a giant thank you to Emily for saving the day!

 

Nathan’s party

We had so much fun at Nathan's party. I loved his requested pinata, and how it turned out.

I thought he was done so I tossed his last two bites, and that was an epic mistake. His sweet Aunt Shannon sent him home with a nice large slice. He had a yummy snack the next day. This boy of mine loves chocolate, and dairy free chocolate is a special treat far and few between. Shannon made the cake dairy and egg yolk free so both Kaylee and Regan got to enjoy it.IMG_3082 IMG_3085

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!
