Happy Birthday Chloe!

Chloe is my cousin Steven and Brooke's now 2 year old little girl. Last weekend was her birthday party. The party was held outside and they had a bouncy house, lots of food, and even a pinata! Everything was decorated soooo cute and girly!! The kids all ran around having a blast. We sure love birthdays!!

The Birthday Girl...




She has such beautiful eyes!



Cupcakes...with flowers on top...so cute!




The very much loved bouncy house...




Love the birthday girl's outfit...

Hey, look! There's a picture of me! Look closely and you can see
my reflection in the glass...




Love these boys! These are my cousin Katie's twins...




Katie with her boys...patiently waiting for their turn with the
pinata...



Dalton looking oh so cute, watching the kids hit the
pinata...



Connley waiting for his turn with the pinata. I think the kids
are still wondering why we were beating up Elmo...(one of the
little girls were actually crying about Elmo being hit with a bat.)



Connley's turn to wack Elmo...



Chloe's sister Sienna...



The adults had to take a turn, otherwise Elmo would still be in
one piece and we would have no candy to fill up our bags...



Brooke did such a great job with the party. Thanks for such a fun and cute party Brooke! We had a blast!!

A Day at the Beach

Last weekend we had our friends the Critchfield's visiting from Arizona and we spent our Saturday at the beach. We had lots of fun flying kites, boogie boarding, playing in the water and sand, and even burying kids in the sand! Of course I brought my camera and took lots of pictures. We had a great time!




Jason flying his new kite.


Don't they look like pros?


This is how you keep the kids from running off. It works great!






Dalton and Shaelyn (They're about a month apart in age. Dalton
is older, though it doesn't look it! He is such a peanut.)







Cutest little beach outfit! I love all the pink!!

Connley's High Tech Space Shuttle

Connley and I built a space shuttle for him the other day. He kept sitting inside this box that I was meaning to throw away and decided that he was having so much fun with it that we should color it and make it something cool. So it is his NASA space shuttle, called Space Shuttle Connley. Once completed I had him sit in it and I pushed him around the apartment until I just about fell over dead (like after one minute!). So, that was our fun little project!
