Tinkerbell & Pirate Party

It's party time for Catelyn and Tripp!  This year we had a Tinkerbell and Pirate party.  Catelyn chose her theme right after her birthday last year and did not waiver even one time throughout the year.  We decided to double up their party again this year and they were both so excited about it.  We decided that pirates were the perfect thing to go along with Tink, so we ran with it!  The party couldn't have gone smoother.  Catelyn and I decorated cardboard cake stands and we got excited choosing the paper goods at the store. We found both Tink and pirate tatoos & cups, fairy wings, pirate patches, silly straws and balloons.  We had the jump house set up for the kids to play in, and we had sand buckets to go digging for treasures.  Pizza, fruit and cupcakes were served and the company was great!  Nannie and Pawpaw, Jack & Pop, Rudy and Lance, Sarah, Clayton, Ann Wilson, Charlie & Alex and Mamaw were our guests and it was a great day!

 

Catelyn's School Program

Catelyn's class had a mother's/father's day program that was so great!  I must admit there was a little tearing of the eyes that happened.  She was so proud standing up there and just waved and blew kisses at me.  It melted my heart.  The songs were just precious and she couldn't wait to take me to her class to show me all the things she had made for me and Daddy.  She is a precious little girl and we are so proud of her!

He's Turning 3!!

Tripp is turning 3 tomorrow and I just can't believe it!  This little guy is a sweet bundle of fun and energy.  He loves cars and trucks (especially if it has a trailer on the back).  He loves farm animals, but is partial to cows.  He absolutely loves going to Pops and Jacks farm to "help" with the work.  He weighs about 34 lbs and is in the 75% for both his height and weight. He goes to school two day a week and loves it!! He is a good sleeper but likes to wake early (much to my dismay) :).  He sleeps with a panda pillow that goes with him anywhere sleeping needs to occur.  He still takes his passy for naps only and I'm pretty sure its his favorite time of day (because of the passy- not the nap).  He is a fantastic eater and will try pretty much anything.  He loves his big sister but loves to pick at her too.  He is still a good cuddler and likes to give hugs- especially when Daddy gets home.  He talks up a storm and I adore this little boy!!

Candy in the Nose

Definitely know you're a mommy when you spend a Friday night in the E.R. because your crazy kiddo sticks candy up his nose and you can't get it out.  Fortunately, he wasn't in any pain and the candy dislodged itself on its own- no forceps needed.  Thank heavens!  Now when you ask Tripp was goes in his nose he says "only buggers...no candy."  Love it!  At least he's learning. Ha!

Class Trip to the Zoo

Catelyn's class took a field trip to the zoo and I was able to go along as a chaperone.  She had a fantastic time!!

Bugs

Catelyn's class is studying bugs and her assignment was to make any bug she wanted. Her choice...a butterfly, and she did awesome!  We shaved crayons on wax paper and ironed them to melt them.  Then we took left over easter eggs for the body and used pipe cleaners for the attenae. She cut out the shape of the butterfly herself and we love how it turned out.  Love doing projects with my little girl!

Easter

The kids went to an Easter egg hunt and had a blast!
