Party Time!

These are pics from Kennedi's (a friend from school) 6th birthday party at Frankie's.

A very wet Ashleigh & Heather after riding the bumper boats
In the blue & white boat was Ashleigh, Heather, & Lizzie. In this boat, driven by 6 year old girls, all we could hear the entire boat ride was squeals & laughter. Very entertaining to watch, I may add.

This is Alan, the only boy that came to the party. He seemed to fit in pretty well though.

All these were taken with my phone & this one didn't turn out so well, but Ashleigh's was about 4 stories up in this fun house. According to Ash, this was the highlight of the party. All I could see from below was running & jumping!

Definitely fun was had by all! Happy Birthday Kennedi!

Here We Go Again!

We're so excited about our garden this year! One of our tomato plants even has some "baby" tomatoes.

Cucumbers

Tomatoes

more tomatoes...love the nightshades!

The new box Stewart made...many more to follow, I'm afraid. :)

Mostly strawberries...peppers in the back.

Our trip to K-Vegas

Our family loves to visit our friends in K-Vegas (a.k.a. Kernersville). This time was no exception. Ashleigh was so excited & counting down the days before our trip. This trip would involve watching baby chicks hatch & playtime with the "fluffy" ones. You just never know what you might get on the Stack Family Farm. O.K., it's not really a farm, but it does seem that way sometimes.

"O.K. Mom, just take the picture, sigh..."

Why do boys do that?

Ashleigh really liked this one.

Just love holding baby animals...so soft & cuddly.

Connor & Cailyn liked to let them crawl all over them. Our kids didn't want any of that. In fact all Julia wanted to do was give them a few quick pats. Ashleigh said, "they're just SOOOO ADORABLE!" If they moved too much, however, they were back in the box.

Too Cute!

We had a great spaghetti meal & dessert (thanks Donya!). The kids played. And played. And played. Julia found Cailyn's little pets & had a blast. Don't think Cailyn liked that when she found out, sorry Cailyn.

Overall it was a great trip & visit with friends.

Ashleigh decluttered, what?

In an effort to help Ashleigh declutter toys, I asked her to put her favorite stuffed animals in her toy net in the corner of her room. Then I told her we could give away or store away the rest. I thought it would be a good starting point.........however, this was the result.

These animals were stacked SO high, she had to stand on a step stool on top of her bed!

Oh well.

Wordless Wednesday

Julia's Preschool 3rd Birthday Party!

A couple of days before Julia's birthday I brought My Little Pony cupcakes & cookies to preschool. This is a 2 year old class, well most are 3 by now. The kids had a blast! Everyone sang happy birthday & Julia just beamed. She just LOVED being the birthday girl!

Ashleigh was so excited to attend the festivities thanks to "track out". Gotta love year round school!

Julia's a very serious cupcake eater.

Happy Birthday, sweet Julia!

Bringing cupcakes to a group of 3 year olds was SO much fun, watching them giggle & laugh & get messy! And boy did their personalities shine through!

Date with Dad

Stewart has started taking Ashleigh out for lunch & ice cream as a reward for bible verse memory at Awana. He opens the door for her & treats her like a gentleman should. I've heard they've had interesting chats as well :).
