Water Fight!

WATER FIGHT!! 
Our kids are perfectly happy being outside 
ALL THE TIME! They love playing in the water, whether it's swimming, sprinklers, slip n slide etc. I love that they love to be outside! I'm really excited that their playhouse is done...just needs paint and some touch ups! (pics to come soon)

Nothing like Water Balloons on a 
HOT Summer Day!! 

She tried so hard to catch one! All but 1 popped on her!

Love his Smile in Action! 

Bucket Head! 

He was having a Blast!! 
This is my favorite picture of Dom that Day! 

Cutie Pie! 

He just looks like he's in to trouble! 

Soaked! 

Always Posing! 

2011 End of the Season Baseball Party!

Dominick's End of the Season Party was on the same day as Emersyn's Birthday Party!! Talk about a Rush...Felt like I was rushing around ALL DAY!! But it actually worked out Great! I had her party early in the afternoon...It lasted about 3 Hours...then everyone left and it gave me 30 mins to get ready and to Dominick's Party! I was so afraid I was going to miss him getting his trophy! So I'm really glad it worked out the way it did! 

They had a Pot Luck BBQ at a local "Water" Park! The kids had a BLAST! I really like the way the Team Mom put it all together! 

Mike and Dave handing out Trophy's to all the Kids! 

Dominick and Dave with their 2011 Trophies! 

This year was a fun one watching Dominick grow as a baseball player! He did so well and I think he learned so much! He really started hitting Great towards the end! I am so proud of him! It was also fun watching Dave coach! I thought for sure he'd go insane with 12 kids all under 7! He did really good and I really think most of the parents really liked his coaching. A few of them asked if he would be coaching next year! ...I think he's still thinking about that one! I know he'd do it in a heart beat if the kids were a little older.

Happy 4th Birthday Little Lady!

I've been planning Emersyn's 4th Birthday for months! She asked me almost everyday for the past 2 months if her ladybug birthday is tomorrow!

Well her Ladybug Birthday Finally Came!! 

We did her party at our house! This is the first year we didn't do a jump house... it cracks me up that kids just assume that birthday means jump house! We skipped the jump house this year because Emersyn's Birthday Gift is a Playhouse that a Friend designed and is building for us! It's almost complete, and both kids are going to absolutely love it!


A few of my Favorite Kiddos!!

I had so much fun making different decorations for the party. I made little flags for the straws, a Red and Black tutu, Poms to hang over the Candy Bar, Candybar Wrappers, Flowers made out of Balloons and Pool Noodles, Signs and my ABSOLUTE Favorite...The Cupcake Toppers!! 




My Bestie made the centerpiece and her banner! They came out so cute! She really did a great job! 





I love Cupcakes!! I love making Cupcakes...and now I'm pretty sure I have a new addiction of making Cupcake Toppers!! I must say I was pretty proud of myself and did give myself a pat on the back!

Almost Every year we do a Pinata and Goody bags...This year I thought I'd try something different and do a Candy Bar and let kids and adults put their own bags together! Everyone seemed to love it and they all left with bags...but boy did I over buy candy!












I figured with all the sweets around every kid should leave with a toothbrush!





Emersyn was so excited opening gifts this year! It was so fun to watch her get all excited and thank everyone after each gift! I know my kids are spoiled...but I just like to think they're well loved!








I'm so happy everyone shared this day with us!


JUNE 13, 2011


On Emersyn's actual Birthday I took the day off work. It was a kind of quiet day...We played outside in the water...ran to Toys R Us and then when Dave got home from work we went to the movies to see Kung Fu Panda 2. I think all in all she had a great birthday! 



Playing in the water! 

Emersyn's Birthday Shirt I made for her to wear to the Movies!!

The Summer List 2011

A couple nights ago Dave and I sat down with the kids and asked them what they wanted to do this Summer. We told them we will make a list of everything they want to do this summer and see how many things we can actually do!

I love ALL of their ideas! So many things to do outside, with friends and family! Looks like if we accomplish any of this it will be a Great Summer! Looking forward to seeing how many things we can actually check off! 

...Let the Fun Begin... 

I LOVE making lists! I think its such a great feeling being able to check something off! (Another part of my OCD!!)
