Sara's 1st Birthday!

Birthday Girl with her cousin!

Nola & Jesse

When I saw this clown come in I thought for sure that Nola would FREAK...but we have hit a milestone....not sure if it is for good...but it was the first time in a long time that Nola didn't freak out when she saw someone in costume. In fact, this time it was the total opposite. She couldn't get enough of her.

Ree-Nee the clown. She entertained the kids with songs, music, magic tricks, balloon animals and much more. It was timed perfectly so the adults could eat while the kids were entertained.

Kids hanging out

Look at that smile.
I definitely need to get Ree-Nee's number.
Do you think she babysits?

More fun with Ree-Nee

Another first...face painting!

Waiting patiently

Look at my big girl...she is no baby anymore. I can't believe it!

Happy Birthday to Sara!

Nola & Rosie always hit it off. They played swords, chase and anything they could think of to do.
They were so cute together!

Sara's special balloon!

What a trooper!
They were so many people around and Sara was all smiles!

Singing Happy Birthday!

"Thanks Uncle Brian & Aunt Dawn. This party was fantabulous!"

Awww!

Nola with Grandma & Grandpa

Still going!

"Nola, let's hurry up and eat these before we get caught!
CHEW! CHEW!"

Uncle Keith & Aunt Heather

Finally getting tired at the end of the night!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SARA!
Thanks for such a great time!

Kitchen Complete!

I've been trying for months to get Jay to finish the kitchen but we have been too busy. He wanted to refinance so that's all it took to get it done. He thought for sure it would add value to the house. He busted his butt over the weekend and thanks to Keith for his hard work, sweat and tears on the grout for the back splash!

We went with a dark grout so when it was done it took a little getting used to, but we love it. All I need now is a new faucet. I'll put it on my Christmas list!

Moulding

No more open space between the rooms.

He even stained moulding for around the cabinets.

Great Job Jay & Keith!
I love my new complete kitchen!

Carlye's 4th Birthday Party!

Carlye's Grandma has a princess party side business. She pulled out all the best for her granddaughter. When we walked in there was a princess table and a prince table.
