Friends and Story Time

05.27-29.14

Conner and Emma came over today (Tuesday) and they love dressing up.

We met my friend, Shannon, and her daughter, Emma, at Sam's today (Wednesday) to buy a few things and to eat lunch!

My baby girl is exhausted.  Ha!

On Thursday, we went to story time.

I'm helping host a baby shower tonight and ended up making these super cute letter B's made out of icing.  I am completely shocked that I did this!  I made the icing by using powdered sugar, milk and blue food coloring.  Then, I put it in a Ziploc bag and cut the tip of the bag.  I printed the letter that I wanted to create, placed it under the wax paper and traced it with my bag of icing.  It was so much fun!  Then, I placed them in the refrigerator to harden.  I will place these on top of the cupcakes for the baby shower for Nichole's baby, Bridger. 

Happy Birthday Uncle Jeff!!! (part two)

Uncle Jeff has finally arrived and he was completely surprised!!!

The boys are checking out Uncle Jeff's artillery.

Can you believe this young man from Jeff's church challenged Brent to arm wrestle?  He's a sweet kid but crazy!!!  Poor thing didn't have a chance.

Brent is breaking in the brand new grill!  He's cooking a lot of burgers and dogs!

After eating lunch, we enjoyed a delicious cookie cake!

Then, it was time to hit the pinata!

Otto and Marcus

Beck

Lola and Ava

The kids are gathering some candy from the broken pinata.

Kinsey joined us!  She was having so much fun playing in the house that she missed out on hitting the pinata but her really sweet cousin, Ava, shared her candy with Kinsey.

There were a million roly poly's and Beck gave some to Kiki.

Can you see all of the roly poly's in Beck's hand?

Thanks for inviting us to a super fun birthday party!!!  Now, we are off to Uncle Brian's.

This is Brian's new toy!  You might be wondering what this is...it is an amphicat which is a six-wheel drive all-terrain vehicle produced in the 1960's through the 1970's.  This is a pretty cool thing!  I have a video of Brent and I doing donuts in this sweet ride!

Well, it's time to go back home.  Kinsey loves wearing Daddy's hat.

And, she loves taking pictures just like her mommy!  Ha!  This was a super fun Memorial Day!

Happy Birthday Uncle Jeff!!! (part one)

05.26.14

We are taking a road trip to Plano on this lovely Memorial day for a surprise birthday party for Uncle Jeff.

Aunt Jill has lots of goodies for this party!

She also got Jeff an awesome grill for his birthday!

Uncle B loves to tickle!

Balloons are always a hit with the kiddos!

Marcus gives the watermelon a thumbs up!

Unique antique gift from Uncle Brian.

Beck is ready to play in the pool with Marcus and he asked Daddy to help him tighten up his swim trunks.

Beck loves everything Marcus does!

Marcus loves to do cannonballs!

Splashing each other.

Our super cool kids!

Kinsey changed into her swimsuit but she does not want to play in the pool.

They are having a blast while we wait for Uncle Jeff.  His friends took him to a shooting range so we could surprise him.

Me, Brent, Aunt Jill and Tara

Tyler State Park (part two)

This is Liz's brand new camper...it is awesome!!!  I hope we have a camper someday in the near future.

Time to eat dinner!  Kinsey ate a hot dog and Beck had a burger.

Burger and crunchy salad for me!

Kinsey put her bear in the beverage holder.

Frank went to a gas station located right outside the park and bought us the most delicious homemade ice cream.  Oh my goodness, it was SO good!!!

Of course we had to make smores!!!  Beck's favorite thing to do is turn the marshmallow into a burnt piece of poop!

I'm so proud of Beck for eating a smore!!! 

My poor babies were wiped out by the time we left!  We pretty much did it all including ride bikes!  It was so much fun and I enjoyed hanging out with my Dallas friends!
