Fun Day with friends!

We met a friend Angie and her kids Gavin and Evelynn at the park for a playdate/fieldtrip. Gavin is the same age as Wyatt and Mason and they are good buddies. Evelynn is 5 months and was just sittin' pretty. Lily tries to hang with the boys. This park has a water feature and a cool sandbox. They had a blast!

http://oldredbarnco.blogspot.com/ is where this quilt is being given away. (Don't go there, you'll ruin my chances of winning!) Just kidding. Maybe. She also has a store http://www.oldredbarnco.com/ that she sells handmade soaps, and sugar scrubs. You might be receiving some of this stuff for gifts those of you reading. I am just taking a chance here to win this thing because it is amazing! If you get a chance go to her blog and check out the pics of it. So pretty, wish me luck!

Happy 4th!

Emily and Chloe came with us to the park to see fireworks. We stayed until dark where we proceeded to "ooh and aah" for about 90 seconds. We then watched fire burn all the dry grass surrounding the launch pad. We watched the failed attempts to extinguish the fire, and then the firetrucks. Finally, we were told the show was cancelled. Sweet. Great show folks, thanks. I needed the walk anyway. Next year they might think about wetting the dry grass before lighting explosives above and in 100 degree weather. HHMMM

Party within a party

Kailey invited Liz and I to join her for a tea party during the birthday party. It was a nice little diversion.

Liz and I actually starting having a an adult conversation at the tea party. Guess we got a little too comfortable!

Happy 2nd Birthday Lily!

Chris and I decided to team up with his sister Liz and husband Chad for a joint 2nd Birthday party for Lily (July 3rd) and cousin Kiersten (June 30) at our house. It was a hit! We had an ice cream social with a carnival flair, so much fun! Happy 2nd birthday girls!

As always Mimi outdoes herself, I asked her to face paint for the party and she set up like a professional! Most of the kids got a tattoo or facepainting and in more than one place! Lily's Aunt Liz and Uncle Chad made this gorgeous bean bag toss for the party. The kids had great fun with it! Aunt Emily is helping Lily to toss one in.
Kiersten enjoyed her ice cream cone cupcake.
We all posed for a clown nose family and friend picture. Too funny.
Happy Birthday Lily, my little clown!
