Family Graduation Night

Because I like to turn everything into a party, a simple burgers by the pool night became Family Graduation Night tonight!  

I

We have 3 graduates this year!  Tyler is moving into high school. Corynne is moving into middle school, and Lyndsey is officially a pre-school graduate!  I think all that hard work deserves a cookie cake and balloons!

Maybe a little welcome to summer gift is in order also!

We also had mini chocolate graduation hats.  Well, Colleen ate most of them!!!

Cinco de Mayo

 Just taking an ordinary taco night dinner to another level!  Oh, LaLa!!!  I love a reason to decorate and party!  The girls enjoyed Dad's special drinks again tonight!

 Colleen...she is my sweet princess!

Lauren's Luau

 What started as a few friends over to play, turned into Lauren's 9th birthday Luau!  I guess I just love a good themed party!  Lauren greeted each of her guests and handed them leis.

 Dad even got in the spirit with his "worst shirt ever" as labeled by his children!

 We had hot dogs, hawian punch, shirley temples, and an assortment of festive snacks!

 We played all kinds of tropical games and races...

 Of course, there was plenty of pool time and drink time!

 Limbo...

 HaPpY BiRtHdAy to LaUrEn! HaPpY BiRtHdAy to YOU!!!!!!!!

A Berry Sweet Birthday

 Happy Birthday Sweet Princess!

 Today we had a few friends over to celebrate Colleen's 2nd Birthday!  It is hard to believe she is 2--time flies by so fast!  She is the cutest, sassiest, lovingest little girl!  She loves to dance and spin, watch Dora, eat-eat, tackle Bubba, yell Mama, and get into any of the Sissas' stuff!

 Now doesn't she just look like she is cooking up some trouble!!!!

A Tie-Dyed Birthday Bash

We decided to have Corynne's birthday bash a week early since Mom & Dad are leaving town next week.  Corynne wanted to tie dye t-shirts this year.  We all had a groovy time!  Well except for the multiple injuries that occured while playing outside before the parents arrived--one broken arm, a jammed finger and a hurt toe!  Who new 6th grade girls could be so rough!

Chic-fil-A nuggets, cheetos and fruit for lunch right after school!

Rolling and preparing shirts.  Mary Phyfer helped Lyndsey get her shirt started.

The girls did an awesome job. This is Carlie, and she is the sweet girl who left with a broken arm and never shed a tear, screamed or cried!

The aftermath...

Happy 12th Birthday!  My the time goes by way to fast!  You have matured into a beautiful girl inside and out.  We are so proud of you, Corynne!

Eastwood 6th grade girls (minus a few)!
