Blake Turns 4!!

 

We had a BLAST celebrating our little man's 4th birthday last weekend!! He decided on a 'robot' theme, and a fine choice it was......

Blake's favorite robots- the utensil holder robot and doggie napkin holder. :)

Robot fuel

I found the best FREE robot printables from The Couture Cakery!!

We had so much fun creating all these "unique" robots, and the best part- they were all FREE!! We just used odds and ends from around the house. An awesome way to reuse and recycle!

Our HAPPY Birthday boy

Happy Birthday Blake!

We love you to the moon and back!!! :)

Resolution

So it's been like, FOREVER, since I blogged.  Today is the start of a new year, however, and I am REALLY going to try to keep up this time- I swear!!!  So much has happened over the last year, I can't believe we are where we are today.  I was sitting here thinking of how blessed we are- amazing and crazy helpful family, awesome and supportive friends, roof, jobs, food, health... what more is there, really?  I am beyond words. 
If anyone else has spent hours on Pinterest then you will understand my fascination.  One of the things I love about it is finding inspirational sayings.  Something about making art out of words is totally awesome.  So here are some of my favs that hopefully will bring in this new year with hope and encouragement...

So Happy New Year, everyone!!

Here's to promises kept, goals met, changes made, and gifts given.

May God bless you in 2012!

Mother's Day Tea

 Every year I enjoy hosting a Mother's Day Tea for all of our moms, sisters, aunties, cousins and friends.  I always have a great time decorating and putting on a special day for all our special people.  

What better way to celebrate the moms than with girls and food??? :)

Thank you to all the ladies that could make it-

you are all wonderful and I couldn't imagine life without you!!

And for those who couldn't make it- we missed you, and there's always next year!

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!

The Big "Reveal"

When I first found out I was pregnant I remembered an idea that I had seen on a few blogs about having a baby gender "reveal" party.  I KNEW I wanted to do one (of course another excuse to party!!) when we found out this past week what we were having.  We just invited our closest friends and family, and it ended up being SO much fun!! The kids really got into it, and Camryn had so much fun helping me plan all the little details. It was a great way to announce our 4th and FINAL!!

I went with a "cravings" theme for the dessert bar.  I had seen that idea on a couple 

of other blogs and thought it was cute.

The color scheme was yellow (my FAV, and very neutral:) and gray- perfect for Spring!!

Thanks to my friend Stacey for all her help!!

The signs for the table read: Sweet (cupcakes), Salty (kettle corn), Sour (lemon bars), 

and Chewy (chocolate-dipped marshmallows).

                                        

I made a banner on the mantle and added some of the ultrasound pictures we've had taken.  

Everyone had fun "searching" for the RIGHT picture to guess if it was a boy or girl. 

(It, obviously, wasn't on there... ;)

We also had a tally board with clips so everyone could cast their "votes".

A couple of other little details...

 For the reveal I had a couple of different ideas, but decided to go with...

PINK balloons!!!!!!

We were SO excited to find out we're having 

our 2nd little girl!!!!!!!!

I would say the kids were a little excited too..... ;)

All I can say is we feel so blessed- 2 and 2!!

Here's praying for a healthy little girl! :)
