Aydan's Birthday

fyi: picture heavy---- just the way i like 'em!

We did Aydan's birthday this past weekend! From the fourth of July until Christmas our weekends are usually packed with stuff to do!

He had a superhero theme!

Mom made these awesome hangings, that can be taken down and hung on a wall! They are made out of Styrofoam and are super light!

Spider man with his pain in the butt web! Tommy and I put the web up and had three people telling us how to do it right! It was comical but a lot of work for something that seems so simple!

I made each each kid a shirt and then we got little masks and capes to go with them!

These two were inseparable!

Super strong kiddos!

There they go tackling the world!

Brady was super cute as Batman!

i love how the cousins thought he needed supervision!

Love that look of opening up those presents!

The party went great and we had an absolute blast!

Jilliann's Mermaid Party!

Jilliann's bday!

we did a mermaid and crab party for Jilliann's bday!

She had an absolute blast and we had so much fun planning and decorating!

we had a craft table where they made mermaids and jellyfish

you got to sit and be a part of the sea

the mermaid and crab that inspired the whole party

another craft we did was the handprint mermaids. 

mom premaid these canvases, so all the kids could do their handprints! it turned out sooooooooooooo cute!

Jilliann's - notice how her name is written backwards! We are still working on this!

the shark attack watermelon!

birthday cake and cupcakes

playing in the pond! we had a sprinkler set up with some other fun stuff, but all of the kids played in the pond!

Baby Shower

We had Tabby and Amy's baby shower and they were so much fun!

Love the cake!

we found this on Pinterest and mom carved it! So cute!

we had to buckle up the watermelon.... just in case!

the youth group girls! This is the first time all of us have been together since high school.... nothing has changed much! 

bench transformed!

i have had this bench for years! we had it in our room, but never loved it!
i decided to recover it and then put it in jilliann's room. it seems to fit her style better
(the rooms are the same color, but it doesn't look that way)
