Teeny's 4th Birthday Party

Saturday we celebrated Teeny turning 4 by having a little party at the park with some of her friends. Of course, mother nature decided not to cooperate with us, and it stormed (i.e. rain, wind, thunder). We still went through with it because it didn't actually start storming until after we got to the park, and by that time, I didn't want to move everything and call everyone to change locations. The kids still had a good time despite being cold and wet. At least we had the pavilion to keep us mostly dry.


Waiting for the piñata--It's one of the new pull-string piñatas. I thought I wasn't going to like it because I didn't think it would be as much fun. However, the kids seemed to have fun trying to find the string that would break it open, AND it is much less dangerous. :)



You can see the wind blowing the pinata pull-strings in the picture and all the kids shivering and trying to stay warm.



Every kids for themselves! ;)



Enjoying the spoils of their labors.



Lil Chicky trying to stay warm. I totally didn't think about bringing a blanket for her since it was still pretty warm when we left the house. She's covered up with my nursing cover! 



The party



Getting ready to sing happy birthday--We were actually waiting to see if anyone had a lighter or matches in their vehicle since I forgot ours at home. (FYI: No one had anything. Well, actually someone did have a flint starter, but we opted not to go that direction. ;)



Princess Fairy cake I made using my Pampered Chef classic batter bowl. I was so excited that it actually turned out correctly! (I had tried to make a football cake for Daddy's birthday using the same batter bowl, and it was a disaster. I didn't know that I needed to bake the cake for over an hour on a lower temperature.)



The Birthday Girl

I think she was pouting about her piece of cake because she wanted more sprinkles on it than she got. Picky, picky! ;)

Did it turn rapidly cold where you guys are at too? It went from sweaty to shivering in the course of a week. I want fall and springlike weather!

Friends' Birthday

Image
In June, we were invited to a birthday party for twin girls who are Tink's friends from church. They have a big family and most of them live around here, so they had a big party and BBQ at the park. The kids (big and small ;) had a great time! They played a fabulous version of Duck, Duck, Goose! The person who was it carried around a pail of water. When they said Duck, they would sprinkle a little water on the person, but when they said Goose, they would dump the entire bucket of water on the person. It was hilarious to watch! The girl getting the water dumped on her head has the same name as one of my daughters. I just love the expression on her face. Priceless! Tink was laughing so hard when she got to dump the water on a big kid's head. I wish you could see her face. It was awesome. Tink eating a hot dog Skinja playing on the giant slip n slide

Pictures of the Belly....FINALLY!!!

Image
Okay, so now that we are 38 1/2 weeks along (as of the date of the pictures), we finally got some pictures of the baby bump....well, it's more of a baby mountain, I think, but at any rate, here they are. Enjoy! See what I mean--it's huge! ;) It's like a little seat for Mya. Here are some new pictures of the cute little booger. She just keeps growing and learning new words. She speaks in sentences and climbs on everything. She loves to brush her teeth and wash her hands. And, inevitably, she has learned the word NO. Sometimes it drives me nuts because she says it no matter what you ask her and no matter if she really does want something or not. I know that all kids are like that, but I kept hoping she wouldn't learn it. Oh well! C'est la vie! :) She learned this from her daddy! :) A cute picture of daddy and daughter at a Primary activity. We bought her a tricycle, and she absolutely loves it! It is a little big, but she can grow into it. Plus, it is adjustable for ...
