Airplane's

We went to a birthday party this weekend for a friend and she made airplanes out of life savers, smarties, gum and rubber bands! How cute and sooooo simple!

My Baby Turns 2!

My baby turned 2 on November 20! How time flies when we are having fun. This year she was a bumble bee for Halloween so we just carried the theme on over to her birthday! I designed the invitations (picture to come later) and had a family lunch! We had taco soup, white chicken chili, chocolate chip cookie dough dip, sausage dip, corn bread, and lots of sweet treats!

The birthday girl trying to get her hat off of the table!

Bit O Honey pail for the little bumble bee. I made the cutouts!

The beehive cake! This only took twice to bake but it came out pretty good. I only decorate cakes twice a year and this was the second one this year!


I thought I would try my hand at covering pretzels. It was a little harder than I imagined but had fun doing it. They look like bumble bees right?


I made signs to go with everything that we had out...

The sausage dip...yum yum!!!

We had a great time and so sad to see it come to an end. I finished up by creating a memory book from Shutterfly! The orange box is on it's way! Can't wait to see it!

We had so much fun in Indiana! Shopping, visiting friends, family, farming, eating, playing and one long car ride!!!

My First Grader!!!!

Monday August 8 Allie and I went to check out who her first grade teacher was going to be and who was in her class. Ms. Bates is her teacher and she has 2 people from her class last year that are in her class this year. She will have to meet some new people but will see her old friends on the playground! Here's to a good year!

Allie turns 6!!!!!

My little girl isn't little anymore! Allie turned 6 on 8.7.11! This was the first year that it has rained on her birthday party day! God answered my prayers b/c it stopped a few minutes before the party started and they kids were able to spend the time they needed in the pool! Allie had her friends over and they enjoyed the pool, water balloons, snow cones, cake and Allie's bubble gum shop!

Allie wanted to visit the hat place on her birthday for dinner. Nachos it was! She actually wore the hat this year! So proud of my big girl!

July 30

My niece Olivia turns 3! So hard to believe! Besides taking pictures of her birthday party for her to hate her aunt in 20 years when the boys are over, I was able to get a few pictures of my girls!

Allie in the play house! She is thinking one week till my birthday!

Samantha enjoying Olivia's birthday gift from her dad! She liked it so much, I think we will get her one just like it except it will be pink and a "goggy"


There was a little accident with the cake and therefore there was green cupcakes! Samantha had the time of her life with these cupcakes and getting not only herself green, her daddy!
