Friday Fun

I had the pleasure of having Kali, Alex and Eli for the day on Friday. Oddly enough the only time I took out my camera is when the twins were napping and Kali was reading. A few photos of our day.

Before lunch and their naps the three of them spent some time doing crafts and art projects. Kali led the boys in choosing some fun and colorful projects.

Kali read a few books while the twins slept then we made a little fruit snack for them. They took it with them when Erica got home and they all went to Davey and Claire’s new home to play on the swing set and the zip line.

Happy Valentines Day!

Kali and Krista came over on Sunday afternoon prepared for her Valentine’s Day photo shoot. She brought an adorable tutu and sparkly red shoes, I had picked up the Valentine heart candy for Pop (shhhh, I haven’t given it to him yet!) and we took some adorable photos of her! Here’s the cute little VDay card we came up with for her to share at school and religion classes.

Puppy Love

I created this layout using Shabby Miss Jenn’s Designs new kit called “Puppy Love”. The photo was taken of our son Davey almost 30 years ago when he was about 8 months old.

Sweet Baby Girl’s Closet

Our daughter Krista and her husband are expecting their first baby and its a sweet little girl. Krista and I are working on the nursery closet and we’re going to be using these to organize her little wardrobe. I created them using Shabby Miss Jenn Designs “BEE MINE” Valentine’s day scrapbooking kit and I love how they came out.

 DSC_6139-001 DSC_6144-005DSC_6152-013 DSC_6145-006 We had to put a little section for her LSU clothing she’s already received as Christmas gifts! Some of these sweet baby clothes are from her big sister Kali’s newborn wardrobe, it will be so sweet to see her little sister dressed in them!

Happy 4th Birthday Alex and Elijah!

Yesterday we celebrated Alex and Elijah’s 4th birthday with a Blast Off Space party for them, friends and family joined us for a fun filled afternoon at Davey and Claire’s house. The boys were blessed by so many with wonderful gifts and birthday wishes. Our theme was inspired by two cool little astronaut suits that Dave bought the boys on our Christmas time trip to the Natural Science and History museum in New York city and what a blast we all had at their party! The invitation, cake, party favors and banner were just too cute for our space cadets who wore their astronaut suits! I created all of these party printables with Kate Hadfield’s kit “Blast Off” which was simply perfect.

Here is the cake which was inspired by our invitation, it was made by Miss Penny who made all of their birthday cakes since their first! She is so talented and surprises us with each cake we order! We were so tickled that she could recreate Kate Hadfield’s little rocket from her Blast Off kit into the cake design~

Here are the treat favor bags we made for their friends and cousins who attended the party. Claire cut out a lot of little rockets for the treat bags and they really set off the theme for the party!

Included in each favor bag was a space themed sucker, a little styro foam space shuttle glider and delicious fruit snacks and Nerds.DSC_5919-010The boys love these veggie straws so we included them in the party favor bags with twin astronauts on the gift tag.

DSC_5921-011  Aunt Kissy made a sweet treat and Claire bagged it up and we attached a thank you treat topper to the bag.DSC_5922-012

Little astronauts need to stay hydrated while they’re playing at the birthday party, I created this little Happy Birthday label to go around the bottle.DSC_5924-013 DSC_5925-014 DSC_5926-015 DSC_5929-017 The party colors were bright and cheerful! Our space shuttle pinata was a big hit at the party!

DSC_5918-009 DSC_5915-006Davey and Claire served chili fritos and hot dogs for the guests along with fresh squeezed lemonade made from Papaw Don’s lemons.

 

I created a little banner for the birthday boys using Kate’s Blast Off kit elements and some string. It really set off the cake table area!
