We have a comedian on our hands

So tonight we were returning ice chest, decor and such throughout the neighborhood that I had borrowed for the parade yesterday. So I let P and F ride in the front seat with the windows down. Quite a treat around here ;)

There was a guy doing yard work in his yard. When driving past him, Peyton randomly hangs his head out the window and yells, "sorry I can't hear you, I have a banana in my ear"!! The guy turns around and gives us quite a funny look as well as a little chuckle. I didn't know if I should duck and put my darkest shade sunglasses on or join in the fun.........
You never know what P is going to come up with. After dying laughing P thought it was funny to yell that at every innocent bystander along the way. It lost its luster with me after the first time, but was still funny to P and F. These kids.........Where do they come up with these things? P's going to be a comedian one day or an engineer.....Or maybe both...... Think he gets these traits from his grandad. ;)

fire engine party

Saturday we celebrated Ian’s birthday with a fire truck party. He has been talking about his fire truck party for WEEKS!!! Several weeks ago we asked Ian if he wanted a Bubble Guppies, Fire Truck, or Train party and he ALWAYS said FIRE TRUCK! So fire truck it is! We invited a few friends from the street over to celebrate with us. They all had a great time. The kids played in the water for over 3 hrs! Love this sweet smile!

I had found online a tutorial of how to make a carwash out of PVC pipe. The kids really enjoyed it. I hope to use it throughout the summer.

Mom purchased some sponges from the Dollar General for the kids to wash their bikes with. Ian LOVED them! He played with them almost the ENTIRE party! I never knew that a dollar sponge was worth hours of entertainment. If you notice, almost every photo I took, Ian was playing with the sponges.

Mom made the boys matching fire truck shirts for the party. I love them! She did such a good job! She is so talented!It was the finishing touch to the party.

The kids ate pizza and had cake for dessert. After running around for a couple hours they all were able to put away the pizza!

This is my best attempt at making a fire truck cake. It was really fun to create. If I can’t design spaces, I’ll just design cakes. HA! Hope my interior design is better than my cake design though.

We are thankful for fun friends that made this day special.

This is my other little fireman. Love these boys! Oh did I mention that it was HOT HOT HOT on Saturday!!

Ian’s 2nd birthday

Ian turned two on Thursday. It’s hard to believe that my youngest is TWO. We had a great day playing around the house and outside in the morning.

I think Ian’s favorite part of the day was eating his chocolate cake!

I think he enjoyed it!

ALL DONE!

Some more....

Playing outside..... The usual.....












One of my favorites!

Water day at school

Today was water day at school. The kids were excited about getting to wear their swimsuits to school. Peyton made sure he packed his shades. He's such a cool Kat!


After school we played outside in the sprinkler. Ian was just chill'n in the shade.





When we came in, P and F wanted to wear their All Aboard shirts.

Pre-school graduation

I don't even known how I have come to this point of pre-school graduation. It seems like it was just yesterday that I was strolling faith around the block at 11pm to get her to sleep, or watching her take her first steps. I can honestly say that the last five years have been the best five years of my life. Having children changes your world forever. I am so thankful to call Faith my daughter. She is an amazing little girl inside and out. Her heart for others inspires me daily. She is such a blessing to our family. I am looking forward to this summer so we can do lots of fun things before kindergarten.

Last Tues. Faith had her pre-school graduation. She did such a good job. Her class recited the Lord's Prayer and sang "Our God is an Awesome God". She sang her little heart out! She received a diploma and wore a cute little hat. Way to go Faith. I'm proud of you!
