Kelly's 5th birthday party

For Kelly's 5th birthday she wanted a Lalaloopsy party.  She saw the show for the first time over spring break and has loved them ever since!


I love how every thing turned out.  She Lala-loved it! As Jewel Sparkles says, it was perfectly perfect!




They did a great job on the cake!


 The birthday girl!



Since Kelly is not a pizza fan she decided to have KFC.  She loves mashed potatoes and mac n cheese!  After a yummy lunch it was time for cake...it was delicious as always.

Grandma and Grandpa got Kelly her favorite Lalaloopsy, Rosy Bumps and Bruises, she was so excited!



She got a great start on her Lalaloopsy collection





After her party it was time for some fun!  Kelly decided to do something different this year and we decided to go to Stars and Strikes.  She has never been before, but it was a big hit!  Even Grandma and Grandpa joined in on the fun.








So hard to believe my baby is 5!!! Happy Birthday baby girl!

Favorite Memories:
Kyleigh’s favorite memory- when Kelly spent all day with me until when we had to go. That day I called her a hug monster because she would hug me and love on me, and I got all the attention lol!


Grandma and Grandpa’s favorite memories- 
calls Grandma “Princess Grandma”

When we watched the kids for the first time Mommy left us a list of TV channels they could watch.  Grandpa was watching something not on the list and Kelly came up with the piece of paper and said, “You just don’t get it! (Holding the paper up with the channels on it) These are the channels I am supposed to be watching!”

Always asks Grandma to come live with her



Daddy’s favorite memory- Austin was talking to Grandma on the phone about when she was coming over next, trying to get her to come and see her sooner, and said his first curse word, bull sh*t.  Grandma said she didn't understand what he had said so Kelly came over to the phone and said, “He said bull sh*t Grandma!” It was so hard not to laugh!


Mommy’s favorite memories- I love nap time with her.  Since she is in school I only get to nap with her on the weekends and I love and cherish the one on one and cuddle time with her.

She was so confident and excited about her first day of school. I felt so much better about leaving her because she was so happy and proud of herself.  I was so proud, and a little sad, of what a big girl she was.  I have loved hearing about all her friends at school every day.

Watching her grow into the lovely young lady that she is becoming is such a pleasure and I am so proud of her.  I am beyond blessed to be the Mommy of such a great little girl!


We celebrated her birthday with her classmates at school today
 and brought in cupcakes.  Daddy surprised her and came with us.








Happy Birthday baby girl! We love you bunches!

Family Picnic

Since the school year is coming to an end Kelly's school had a family picnic today.  It's hard to believe that Kelly's first year of school will be over after next week!

Austin was very excited to go eat lunch with his sister and to use his new lunch box from Grandma.

Mommy's Day 2013

My Mother's day weekend started on Friday with a surprise visit from Grandma!  Austin and I were so excited to see her. She gave me a beautiful necklace with silhouette of a mom and child on it which I thought was neat because I made her silhouettes of the kids for part of her gift. 



At school Kelly helped plant me some flowers.  She was so proud!


 
On Mommy's Day I woke up to kisses and hugs and the cutest little kids saying "Happy Mother's Day!" over and over, I loved it!  I have just gotten back into reading recently and the Twilight saga books was what I read first, so I got all the movies as an early Mother's Day gift.  I also got a pair of Coach flip flops that I have had my eye on.  

They always pick out the best cards!





The kids decided to take me to Cracker Barrel for brunch.




 Love these two!


 After brunch we went to have some fun at Six Flags.  It was the perfect day filled with lots of fun and lots of laughs! 




Thank you to my hubby and my babies for making me feel so loved.  Being a Mommy is the best thing that I could ever be and I am so glad that God chose me to be your Mommy!  I love you both more than words!
