Twins Wanted

I was clearing files and ran across these cuties! I most likely forgot about them because there was a photographer on site and well, I just didn't take that many photographs since she seemed to have it all covered. But how in the world could I miss a blog post about these adorable little cowboys? They are seriously some handsome twins and I just love their mommy! It was a great afternoon for a celebration! The party decor was straight out of a magazine. Every single detail was done to perfection. From the snacks to the cake to the favors of cowboy cookies and hats... It is hard to believe that they are already one. Happy Birthday Charlie and Max!

Harper's Candyland

Harper celebrated her second birthday in Candy Cane Forest just around Gum Drop Mountain! This little lady in curls with melt your heart! And her mommy is one of the most beautiful people inside and out. We miss our little stars class so so much and there is nothing quite like the bond these children have with one another. Our precious, precious babies are 2!!

Sneak Peek..

A very special little boy is soon turning two and we are cooking up one amazing birthday celebration...

Sweet as Pumpkin Pie

Kristen waved her wand and turned a pumpkin into a magical second birthday party. From the bounce house to the incredible party favors, it was amazing. Walking up their pumpkin lined driveway set the tone for the afternoon. The main dining table was covered with sugary sweets from chocolate dipped pretzels to cupcakes in all flavors to one of my all time favorites... candy corn! It quickly became a favorite of the birthday girl herself. There were juice boxes hand wrapped in orange with jack-o-lantern faces and sandwiches cut into pumpkins. There was orange soda pop in glass bottles and a margarita machine for the adults. The children were running from indoor activities to the castle bounce house in the back yard squealing with excitement and grinning from ear to ear through pink cheeks from all the hard play. Two things to remember: bounce house and bubbles!

Hadley is Two!

Stay with me here... I managed to clear every single photo from my camera cards this weekend and so these posts are going to go fast and furious! I am usually known for getting my photographs out to friends fairly quickly and I have completely fallin down on the job the last few months... I am back! And just in time for the holidays!

I cannot believe that Hadley turned two. Partly because it seems like only yesterday that we were meeting Liam's cousin for the first time in the hospital and partly because it means that Liam's second birthday is quickly approaching. I think that it is awesome that they are so close in age.

Another Sweetie Turns 3

All these sugary birthdays enhance my sweet tooth! These are my kind of birthday parties! Addie has a special connection with the Sugar Shack in Destin, FL. After experiencing first hand this incredible little shop, I have to agree and it made for the perfect theme for her 3rd birthday.

Happy Birthday Elise

When we first met little Elise, she was sitting across from Liam at the crayola table and clearly stated that she was going to write her name. We celebrated her birthday at a ladybug themed party at Gymboree about a month or so ago. Let that sink in... This girl is one smart little ladybug! I was just glad Liam knew what color crayon he picked... write his name? I just love watching toddler friends interact together and it is always a wonderful time at the gym. We have an amazing class with the most wonderful moms and I cannot wait to see these friendships grow. We received one of the best party favors to date and I plan to keep this in mind for future events. There was a basket of lady bug themed books such as "The Grouchy Ladybug" and "Ten Little Ladybugs" to choose from as we left the party. Liam wants to read his every evening and practice counting each "waddi gug" on the beautifully painted pages. The perfect gift for toddlers and mommies! I have a soft spot for Elise, and not just because that is my mother's name... maybe she can teach Liam how to spell his name! Happy Birthday sweet girl!

Sweet Meredith Turned One

Lollipop, lollipop... ooh lolly lollipop. This sweet sugary goodness turned one. Adriane created a candyland walkway entry and gave circular bubblewands packaged like lollipops for favors to go with theme. She did a fantastic job transforming their backyard into a sweet celebration. And Meredith.... oh my goodness beautiful Meredith!!! With her long lashes and contagious smile... she was definitely the star of her show and Liam noticed... just sayin! She totally melts my heart. We are very much in love with her parents as well and I am so thankful for their friendship. Truly wonderful friends. We had as much fun or more as the little ones... even though I may have crashed a wine glass trying to capture a photo of these really delicious twins in turquoise! It was a gorgeous afternoon celebrating one amazing little girl's milestone. Happy Birthday sweet girl!

Princess Ella Turns 3

Princess Ella turned three and we were there to celebrate her royal highness at a very special prince and princess themed birthday party. The kids jumped in the bounce castle until their cheeks were red and then cooled down with ice cream sundaes complete with every topping you could possibly imagine and cupcakes. A crown pinata burst over waiting toddler's heads and shrills of excitement filled the backyard as they loaded their goody bags with sweets. It was a perfect afternoon spent with an amazing family celebrating one beautiful princess. Ashley created a magical scene out of a storybook. Ella will always hold a special place in my heart being one of the first babies I got to hold (of my girlfriends) and we are so excited that she is going to soon share her thrown with a baby sister! We love you Ella Faith (and of course your mommy and daddy)! Happy Birthday.

Lainey Bug

This precious little Lainey bug turned one!

Layla's 1st Gold Medal

The 2011, Summer Tot Olympic opening ceremony honoring Layla Banker's first birthday was held at Little Gym on July 30th.

Princess Caroline

On June 15th, we were invited to a royal affair in honor of Princess Caroline's 3rd birthday.

Ahoy Capt. Wyatt

Don't forget to post a comment on the Mother's Day post for a chance to win your own set of wineVEILs, perfect for summer entertaining. Winner will be announced in Monday's post!

Mother's Day afternoon we put on our seersucker and headed to celebrate Wyatt's first birthday. I was 'blown out of the water' when we entered their backyard. Claire had created a beach scene complete with sand, treasure chest, palm tree and a pirate ship! A real pirate ship with a flag flying high.

Uno Dino-Rita

Wondering what we have been up to? I took a new job as the family pharmacist and have been extremely busy. The line-up included a cough suppressant and amoxicillin for our dog, Tucker's cold (yes, apparently dogs can also catch a cold... who knew?). Phenergan and bacterial antibiotic for the nasty stomach virus my poor husband caught and Augmentin plus drops for Liam's ear infection which has prompted the scheduling for tubes. To say I am stressed about that would be an understatement, but more on that later. I am pretty certain that the pharmacist has not slept a full night since last Saturday and after a pretty awful cinco de mayo and even more horrible week, I am ready to put in my notice and return to my current job.

Please stay with us as I try to catch up on blogging as I have only posted 1 post in May. What is all that about? cause we have certainly been busy!

Saturday, May 7th we celebrated a first birthday of one very special little boy with dinosaurs! I have spoken a lot about the Robbin's family as we are so grateful for their friendship. I can hardly believe that Sam turned one!

Ringmastered Two

I remember the day that Noah was born. Bill was mowing outside when I got the call that he had come early and I must have screamed pretty loud because Bill came running to the door to see what all the excitement was about. Excitement quickly turned into panic as I had not put the final touches on the baby hospital box I was gathering for the new arrival. I mean, I thought I still had two weeks and with first children, everyone knows they almost always miss their due dates, right? When we got to the hospital we were introduced to the most amazing little 7lb baby boy.
