Wyatt's Spiderman birthday cake
Mom and Bryce's birthday/memorial day cake....and Corn on the Cob cupcakes with mom's favorite buttered popcorn jelly bellies
Centennial High School Sweetheart Dancer's banquet cake....a lady ordered these farm cakeballs for a petting zoo birthday party for her son (oink, moo & chirp)
So at 3 1/2 years old we have had it - time for this little bed hog to start sleeping in her own bed - well kind of anyway - she has a crib mattress that we pull out from under our bed. We have told her she can sleep on that or in her own bed but NOT with us ANYMORE - of course she chooses baby steps and still wants to be close to us. I still find her standing at the side of the bed a few times during the night and I have to send her back to her mattress. I feel so bad, she tells us "I wanna sleep with you guys" - hopefully it's gonna get easier (for us heehee). I know I know it's our own fault for letting her sleep with us in the beginning (next baby we won't do that - right Scott?). I actually had room to move last night and it sure was nice to be close to Scott for a change. Once she has fully adapted to her mattress we will work on moving her to her room - hopefully before she starts school.
What a great turn out Carrie had at her baby shower - she got tons of fun stuff (all yellow and green ducks and Winnie the Pooh - but that's what happens when you don't find out what you are having). I wonder what that little thing in there is - we keep teasing her that it's another boy (it's sooooo funny - because she really wants a girl) - whatever it is that she has I know she will love it to death even in it's yellow and green ducky outfits.
Look at those cute shirts #1 for Presley, #2 for Sam and #3 for the new little one
the Jones girls
Mom and Bryce's birthday party plus Memorial Day and SUN - sounds like a good day to get together at the resort right? It was a great day, I decided that I was making the tiki cake that I have been dying to try - the volcano is supposed to have dry ice in it so it smolders but we used sparkler candles instead which just looked like a torch (next time I am going with the dry ice) so the theme was hawaiian (and I got a few props). The kids had an amazing day swimming (in the pool and in the lake) also jet skiing and taking turns water skiing. Bailey and her friends Alex and Whiney spent half of the day in the lake (still makes me so nervous). Dad grilled and the food was AMAZING - we had pork tenderloin (hence the pig roast heehee) and Caribbean jerk chicken and sausage with all the fixins including homemade potato salad. Tonya and Bill Floyd along with Callie (always fun to have another little girl) as well as Vera Jenest came out to help celebrate.
Is it a Luau? will they be performing?
Brookie LOVES the water (we NEED our own pool) she couldn't wait for her daddy to get in with her - is that Scuba Steve?
Mark tried to take all three girls on the jet ski but dumped them in to the lake - I think 3 is the max
me doing the hula...Grandma got tickets to the Ranger game (which turned out to be a pretty interesting story with rain, hail, tornado warnings and 2 1/2 hour delay - kharma for not taking us) - that's alot of kids all with their hawaiian leis
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM - it was a great day!
The day started with breakfast (not in bed but that's ok - and as you can see NOT anything gourmet - but I loved it - Yummy!) Then I got all of Blane's Cutco pieces that he had - that's BIG - I love my Cutco. And instead of a card I got the cute mug that all the kids signed.
Then later I got gifts.... a couple of outfits (I was a little - ok - ALOT offended that he got me size 10) but hey they were cute and then some cake stuff - the organizer I wanted - yeah! and a Happy Birthday fondant mat as well as a cutter (which I already have so that means I get to go shopping for something else) I LOVE getting cake stuff. I also signed myself up for a "grooms cake class". Happy Mother's Day to me. My little angels are wonderful - I LOVE being a mom and with the age ranges of one in college down to one being 3 years old I get to experience alot.
Brooklyn thought they were all her gifts
We went to Wyatt's birthday party at Peter Piper Pizza today - Brooklyn's favorite place to go "Chuck E Cheese" - that's what she calls it. She loves the black and white pony ride there.
All Wyatt wanted to know was why I got the red spiderman and not the black spiderman - he is so funny. But he sure did grab it up fast as soon as the "Happy Birthday" song was over
The party hostess DESTROYED the cake - everyone was laughing at what a mess she made - it was a huge success with al the mom's - maybe I will get some business off of it
