Fun Pics

Catelyn wanted a butterfly carved pumpkin. Not too big of a fan of the scary stuff. Cute girl!

Outdoor pictures of my super cute kids in their new shirts that Jack sent. (thanks Jackie!!)

First Day of School

Catelyn was SO excited about starting back school. She did great! She looked like such a big girl with her back pack on. Can't believe this is the last year of preschool and that next year she'll be going five days a week for the next 12 years. Craziness how time goes by so quickly!

Freezer Paper Stenciling

Ok...if you've never heard of this before, it's awesome! Freezer paper makes the coolest way to do stencils on t-shirts. I've just started doing it, and I'm hooked. I found this website that shows exactly what to do. Fortunately, I found a couple of t-shirts for 25 cents at a garage sale and hung on to them knowing I wanted to do something with them. They were perfect for this project! I only wish I had more. Here are how my shirts turned out! Yay!

4th of July

We had such a great 4th! Will's parents, along with his sister and a short (but sweet) visit from Uncly Lance, all came to Bowling Green to hang with us for the holiday. We stayed busy swimming, walking through caves, visiting the corvette museum, eating and getting super good hang time. Here are a bunch of pictures in complete random order of our fun weekend!

Poor Guy

My sweet little boy is such a trooper. Catelyn is always messing with him, although she succeeds in making him laugh a good bit of that time too. Today I was in the kitchen working on dinner and stopped to go check on the kids in the living room. The below pictures are what I found. Catelyn was dressing Tripp up in her butterfly costume, head band and all. The little guy was just taking it like a man. Like I said...poor guy!

Catelyn's 4th Birthday Party

Obviously the theme of this years party for Catelyn was Disney Princesses. She had been talking and asking for this party since literally October. She was so, so excited about it. :) My fantastic sister (which I realized while doing this post, that I didn't get a single picture with. Boo! Sarah...we've got to work on getting more pictures together.) very sweetly offered up her house to have the party at, since we had just moved two weeks before. She went all out! Everything looked so great! Unfortunately, my dad (Papaw) had to work, but my mom (Mamaw) came over for the party. Phil, Jackie (Pops & Jack), Rudy and Lance all drove from Montevallo/Birmingham to be there, and it meant the world to Will and I and to Catelyn to have so many of the people we love there to celebrate with us. The day was filled with playing outside, eating yummy food, playing in the water, riding in cars, eating popsicles and cupcakes, opening presents and getting loved on a lot. It was a great day with lots of wonderful memories!

The Invitation

Our Birthday Princess!

Catelyn picked out the fabric for her dress and was VERY excited to be wearing all of the princesses. It even sparkles! What more could a little girl ask for! :)

The lunch spread! My awesome sister and brother in law did a fantastic job of grilling hotdogs and making some super yummy bacon and roasted pepper pasta salad.

The princess cupcakes. My mom found "Little Mermaid" cupcake wrappers in typical mom fashion for 50 cents (thanks mom!). The picks I ended up making out of stickers. I was pleased with how they turned out and they ended up being cheaper than what I had originally thought. Yay!

Singing "Happy Birthday" to Catelyn

Blowing out her candles!

I think she likes it! She ended up having 4

cupcakes that afternoon. Hey...it was her birthday!

Tripp was getting in on the yummy action too!

Too precious!! That one is a keeper!

Handy man Tripp at your service!! Jackie got Tripp these jean diapers

Time to go home!

Within about 10 min. Catelyn knocked out in the car completely exhausted, but had a wonderful time.

Thanks again to everyone for such a special and wonderful day!

Happy 4th Birthday sweet girl!!!!
