Paisley's Mickey Party!

Paisley's Mickey/Minnie birthday party was a huge success...it was so much fun to plan! Here is a SHORT version of the party! I had known for some time what theme the party would be since Mickey Mouse Clubhouse is really the only Disney show that she is into! She really has been excited since I have been preparing...I know she had NO clue really until party day what everything was for BUT her excitement throughout just thrilled me! My pics aren't as great as I would like for them to be BUT that is due to the lighting in the building! A big THANK YOU to my friend for taking pics with my camera at the party! My Mom also captured some great pics that I may share later. My sister and cousin helped me do Mickey Mouse Rice Crispy Treats with chocolate dipped ears. The treat bags also had a few other pieces of candy, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Silly Bandz, and Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Beach Balls! The little tags that say "Paisley's 2" were done on our Cricut machine...my stepsister helped me line everything up with the writing since we preprinted (I wasn't quite crafty enough to figure that out...haha)!





Here's the birthday girl while we were setting everything up...as you can see she had loads of fun setting up! Here she shows some of her excitement!

My Baby Girl is 2!

Two years ago today (07-11-09) one precious lil girl came into my life! Where has the time gone! I have LOTS to blog about Paisley's birthday weekend (her Mickey birthday party, her birthday zoo trip, and Mickey birthday cupcakes) but NO time tonight....I'm exhausted from a fun filled weekend! Just wanted to blog a VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my sweet baby girl PAISLEY FAITH! Mommy and Daddy LOVE you so, so much! Here she is with her outdoor patio set that Mommy and Daddy gave her (Daddy must build her a patio now...not sure that he knows about that just yet)! Stay tuned for more birthday pics...I have so much to share!

Busch Gardens Part II

Rides, Rides, and more Rides...

Tucker and Paisley and Charlie and I rode the carousel while Reed takes a nap!



We decided to brave the log flume...not sure that I will again b/c P and I both flew forward coming down the hill. She LOVED it but I on the other hand was a lil scared for her. These pics I posted backwards by mistake...here we are after getting drenched!











Whitney and Tucker rode the scrambler...I'm not sure that I could stomach it anymore so I sat it out!





Tucker posing with the bear!







And of course we saw animals!





They were so ready to play in the water even though we hadn't made it to the water park just yet!








Fun in Elmo land crawling thru logs! Tucker was watching a Pirate Show while Reed and Paisley played!




Stay tuned for Part III!

The 4th has come and gone!

Hope everyone had a wonderful 4th! We sure did! Hard to believe that it's come and gone! We began the day by attending the Sedley 4th of July parade and then back last night to Sedley to watch the fireworks since they were rained out on the 4th! Paisley in her 4th of July attire!

Cousins Tucker and Paisley before the parade!




Cousin Reed before the parade...notice the candy already!


Here comes the parade!



Paisley was so excited..check her out pointing!



Watching seriously!


This float was done by the Pre-school Paisley will attend in the fall!


Here comes Uncle Sam!



And of course the firetrucks!


Lil Reed watching closely!



A train very similar to the one Paw-Paw built Tucker for his 2nd birthday party!




And the horses closed it!




The kids with all their goodies!

A visit with Cousin Tripp later on in the afternoon...it was just too hot for him during the parade!
