Jace's 7th Birthday Party

So here are the pics from Jace's 7th birthday party a couple of weeks ago. We did all the usual bday party activities - food, games, pinata. We also included water guns and water balloons. The kids got to have a water balloon fight and just when they thought it was over the dads (who had put camo face paint on lol) came running out in a sneak attack with more water balloons! Great fun!

This was when the pinata busted and I had to laugh at this one because the kids are like ants to the candy and poor Eli thought he wouldnt get any!! At the same time I discovered Jada sneaking a piece of cake (she is allergic to cake) so she is crying because I busted her and had to fish it out of her mouth!! Good times!!


And because I know you will ask - NO I did not make this awesome cake!! My wonderful neighbor made if for us! It is complete with graham cracker crumbs as dust for the diamond!!

The Pond Study









Here are some pics from our field trip today to Camp Tonkawa. The kids got to do a pond study, learn about frogs, snakes, mosquitos, and the most important lesson of the day was how to recognize poison ivy!!!

My favorite part of the trip was meeting the horses!! Jada is still talking about "Shawnee" and "Eclipse"

The Dress


So a few months ago my future sister-in-law sent us this beautiful flower girl dress for Jada. It's a size 5 and the wedding is in June. Jada has not filled it out so yesterday I took for a fitting to have the dress tailored. For those of you who know Jada pretty well - you know that she is pretty obsessive about dresses so out of fear I have not ever shown her this dress!! Her eyes lit up when I pulled the dress out of the plastic and told her she could put it on. The pic is one I snapped with my phone - she looks adorable but what happened next - not so cute!!! I told Jada we were gonna take off the dress and she kept saying "NO"!! So I tried the 2 minute warning. After 5 minutes I had to literally peel the dress off of her kicking and screaming! =( Thank God we were at the back of the store and when I left the other employees reassured me that they had seen this reaction before a time or two. LOL! Needless to say she talked about the dress all the way home and I even had to hide it from her. Pray she doesn't find it!!!
