Fun Day in the Country

We spent Father’s day in the country at my grandparents house. I didn’t take a lot of pics because we were too busy, visiting you know! I did try to manage to take a few pics of my nieces to share with everyone! Well Rebecca being a typical pre-teen was uncooperative at first, so I posted this pic just for her!!

Don’t just love it!! She looks just like her daddy right??

Here is a great picture of Caroline!!

And here is a great picture of the sisters!

This is the beautiful picture that Rebecca drew for us of the family. Everyone is on it. John Emory actually posed for Rebecca holding his shirt up so she could draw his belly button! Crazy kid!!

 

We had a great time in Opelika visiting and celebrating my brother John’s birthday, Amii’s Birthday, and Father's day! It was super hot and hard to keep the kids in the house, but we managed! We were minus Eric because he got invited to go to Pop and Grand’s house to spend the night, so we missed him but knew he was having fun! Amazingly JE stayed awake the entire 3hour trip home much to our dismay, because after mom and dad left him at our house, he had complete meltdown, which I videoed but can’t show you because he is naked in it!! But it’s hilarious!! Hope you had a great week !!

Fathers Day Craft

So I got an email probably the week before father's day and it had some super cool ideas of what to do for that special dad. One idea was something that the kids could help with...I don't know what the link is any more, but it was a print of a tree with the kid's hand prints as the leaves. It was 10 dollars just for the printable! I said I can do that with out paying that... So I printed out a bare tree, and cut it out... doesn't it look fantastic!!

 

 I do a pretty good cut job right!! Then I went to Michaels and got a canvas and some paint

 

 

 

 I attacehd the tree to my canvas and traced away... then I took my brown paint and colored the tree... Now all that's left is to finger paint with the kids and viola' (is that even close to how you spell that??)

 A hand tree masterpiece!! Jamie loved it (FYI)!! Hope you all had a great father's day!!

Birthday Weekend Celebration

Awwww... look somebody blew up a lot of balloons to celebrate my birthday!

JE is checking them out for me.  He's pretty fond of them!  Wait, what was that? Did I just see something move under there?? 

Surprise!!! It was Eric hiding under all those balloons!

This is how Eric envisioned I would celebrate my birthday... with him spraying water over the pool!

My little fire fighter in training x2!

We had a great time celebrating my birthday last weekend. It was really great that both of my brothers were able to be there for it! We enjoyed relaxing by the pool and eating snow cones (thanks John!)! Jason made me another cake, but said I couldn't take a picture of it because it was not pretty... but it was chocolate!! Hope you all are having great summer weekends filled with lots of playtime!!

Red Wings Team Party

Eric's baseball team had their end of the year party at Dairy Queen! A great time was had by all as trophies were handed out and everyone enjoyed ice cream. Again I cannot say how much we enjoyed our team and coach! Thank you Coach Hendu!

My birthday surprise

As many of you may remember, last year my brother made me a beautiful cake...

isn't he so talented?? This year I was cruising the blog Cake Wrecks, where she occasionally posts some pretty cool cakes! Well, I came across this 80's cakes post which gave me an idea! (you'll have to scroll to the bottom to see the inspiration cake... it's the last one!)
So I sent Jason an email and this is what he came up with!
Cool Huh??!!
This is what happened with the stripes from the cake!!
Even the sleeping baby got one!!

I had a great birthday and am spending today off from work! I hope my birthday present comes in the mail soon.. I ordered a necklace from etsy:


It will feature our names instead of Kaitlyn Margaret Love you Forever! I can't wait to get it!  I'll post a pic when it gets here!!

Hope everyone is enjoying their Friday... I'm off to the pool with the kids now!!
