Tucker's 5th Birthday Party!

Tucker turned 5 on 6-15-11 but had his birthday party the Saturday before (6-11-11). It's so hard to believe that he is already 5 and will head to Kindergarten in September, he has grown up so much in the past year! It was decided that Tucker would have his birthday party at Me-Maw and Paw-Paw's since there is more shade there and hopefully there would be a breeze coming off the pond (we didn't catch much of a breeze but at least we had a little shade). That morning we headed to Me-Maw and Paw-Paw's to set up...Whitney had promised Tucker that she would take him to kids day at the credit union (Tucker was so excited b/c they had a bouncy and that's all he wanted to do). While he was gone, we all set up the bounce that my sister had rented to SURPRISE Tucker when he returned! You should have seen the look on his face...you will see below that it made his day! Paisley trying out the bouncy before Tucker arrived (she was 23 months old on this day)!

Reed trying the bouncy out before big brother Tucker arrives!

So much fun!

And here's the BIRTHDAY BOY! Look at that surprise look!

All the cousins enjoying the bouncy before the party!

And look at how happy he was showing off the bouncy!

LOVE this one up close!

Tucker just before his friends arrived in his pirate shirt (his party was pirate themed)!

Reed finishing up his lunch or trying too...check the next picture out...he just couldn't make it!

The Pirate Birthday Cake...it matched his invitations!

Getting ready to blow out the candles!

Alyssa and Paisley (check out Paisley's goose egg...she and Tucker butted heads in the bouncy)!

Reed waiting for some cake!

More jumping!

Camrey and Paisley!

Getting ready to make cotton candy!

I am always behind the camera so I made a point to have someone snap this of one of my best friends since middle school and myself! Her youngest (Camrey) and paisley are only 3 months apart!

Camrey again!

Cotton Candy oh so good BUT what a mess!

Opening gifts!

Paisley LOVES balloons and cotton candy now!

Paisley and Camrey had the best time together!

Claire after her cotton candy...she thoroughly enjoyed it and made a mess of Aunt Mandy too!

Tucker and his "girlfriend" Parker! She is such a cutie and sweet!

And one last gift from Aunt Chele, Uncle KK, and cousin Paisley...look at his face! Once again so excited!

And here he is on his new bike...I'd say turning 5 was a huge success!

Paisley and Daddy!

Paisley thought it was GRAND that it was a day for presents so she was thrilled to wish her Daddy a Happy Father's Day! She learned very quickly to say "Happy Father's Day" by the time we visited with her Paw-Paw, Grandaddy Allen, and Grandaddy Benson! We had a wonderful, busy day! As you can see, she was so ready to rip into that present! She was more excited than her Daddy!

And there she goes...ripping away!

It didn't matter what was in the box, she just wanted the box and all the Styrofoam in it!

Proud to be posing for a picture with her Daddy (after all she is a "Daddy's Girl")! The first I took was a lil blurred but I liked it better than the one that wasn't blurred so I thought I would share both!

Now this one shows that she truely is a "Daddy's Girl"! One of the many reasons she is wrapped around Daddy's lil finger...haha!

And here's why she was wanted to rip into the box so badly...only to play in it!

Welcome Baby Munford!

Baby Thurman Dwight Munford III (Tripp) was born Thursday, June 16, 2011 at 7:17 PM. He was 7 lbs, 3 oz. and 20 inches long. He was about 3 weeks early but everyone is doing GREAT and he is so sweet! This picture was taken just after he arrived. I can't wait to get back to the hospital to hold him! I couldn't be more thrilled to be "Aunt Chele" again!

Baby Munford is on the way!

Baby Munford is on the way! Amanda's water broke last night around 11:30 PM. She went to hospital around 6 AM this morning...things are going slow! I'll let everyone know when he/she is here! So excited to know...wish he/she would HURRY! Hope everyone is having a GREAT Thursday!

Happy 5th Birthday to Tucker!

Happy Birthday to my nephew Tucker! So hard to believe that he is 5 already! Time flies when you're having fun! We are off to have a lil fun today to celebrate his 5 years! This picture was taken at his birthday party this past Saturday...hope to blog about that BIG day soon!

Cousin fun!

Once again I am starting this post with "it's been awhile since I've posted"! We are just so busy going here, there, and everywhere! I decided to post about Cousins Paisley and Reed b/c the bond I see between them truly amazes me...they are 4 months apart and so close to each other! This past Saturday Reed hung out with us while Whit was at Relay for Life from start to finish, Charlie was working and Tucker took off to the family reunion with my Mom! They played so well together the entire day/night! Our day consisted of: A little wagon riding and snacking,

Digging in the dirt,

talking to the dogs and playing ball,

a little swinging,

more digging in the dirt, (in case your wondering why we have a mound of dirt in our yard...Kevin completely re-did our flower beds last weekend...they look GREAT...it was way overdue...Thanks to the hubby)

(this is great entertainment if you don't mind them getting quite dirty)

and fun at a graduation cookout!

Oh and nap was in there too!
