School Celebration

These boys!  Before running off to play on the playground for recess, we celebrated Reed's birthday with cookies and singing.  

Reed turns 6

Our sweet Reed turned 6.  Loving, kind, silly, and playful.  Reed still loves to cuddle and is always up for any kind of sports. He is incredibly smart and is often doing his own thing. 

Emory's Birthday Party

We headed to Dallas to celebrate Emory's third birthday.  With back to back parties, the kids were getting a little worn out.  Nothing a little cake and juice couldn't fix, and we would never miss celebrating our best friend, Miss Emory.  I was able to get a picture of our fabulous five kiddos before they completely went nuts.

The little girls enjoyed manicures in between play time and cupcake decorating.  Ridley was over the moon excited!

Birthday Party Face Paint

Ridley celebrated her friend, Stella, with an awesome birthday party.  Ridley's favorite part was the face painter.  We were blown away with her talent, and Ridley loved the "sparkly diamonds".

Merry Christmas

The kids woke up excited to check out their new stuff.  They were so happy to see new toys and clothes.  Ridley's favorite item was her doll house.  Ryland's favorite item was his new bike, and Reed's favorite item was the foosball table.  

We were lazy all day and just played around the house.  We had birthday cake and sang happy birthday to Jesus, since He is the reason for the season.

Benton's 5th Birthday

Benton had his 5th birthday party at the Frontiers of Flight Museum.  The children had an absolute awesome time playing in all the planes and towers.  We we so happy to share this big day with Benton!

Urban Air Party

We celebrated Reed turning 5 and Ryland turning 7 at Urban Air.  It was completely nuts, and all the kids loved it!  Running, jumping, and acting crazy!  We are so thankful to have so many celebrate with us.

Growing Up

I tucked my sweet Reed in bed tonight for the last time as a four year old.  He asked me to cuddle with him, and I was happy to oblige.  Reed has always been my sweet cuddler. I love this smart, funny, little boy so much.  He melts my heart.

Prepping for the Party

The boys' birthday party is quickly approaching and the last thing on our list of to dos are the party favors.  All three kids were really interested in helping, so we set up a little assembly line.  The best thing about the added assistance was the great conversation.  I adore these little helpers!

Celebrating Reed

Today was all about Reed at school.  He was the line leader and the center of attention at story time and enjoyed a special snack.  He has thrived at Chapel Hill and today was another day of love from his teachers and friends.

Mermaid Party

Fun with Lizzie & Pops

The fun with Lizzie and Pops continues with a bowling celebration for Pops' birthday.  Everyone had fun laughing and hanging out at Main Event.  All three of the kiddos enjoy bowling, and the automatic bumpers help keep them happy. 

After a morning full of activity, Lizzie and the boys worked on the foam trains she brought.  They had a blast building and embellishing them. 

Ally Turns Four

We couldn't miss Ally's special birthday celebration, so we hoped for the best with Ridley and made the drive.  Everyone had a fantastic time playing with all the children and the loads of toys.  Happy 4th Birthday, Ally!

Ellison Turns One

We all headed to Louisiana to celebrate Ellison's first birthday.  We all enjoyed playing the carnival games with friends and family.  

Ryland Turns 6

It was all about Ryland today in honor of his 6th birthday.  We started celebrating with lunch from Chick-Fil-A at school. 

After lunch, the Kinders go out for recess.  Ryland requested donuts for his birthday treat to share with his class.  Just what Ms. Hill needed, an afternoon of trying to teach a bunch of of children full of sugar.

For dinner, Ryland wanted sushi.  He cracks us up with his refined palate.

To wrap up his big day, he enjoyed a yummy cupcake.  He remains the sweet eater he was at his first birthday.  Happy Birthday, RyRy!

Reed turns 4

Sweet, feisty Reed enjoyed his birthday dinner at Rainforest Cafe.  He has been so excited about turning four, and he has been asking multiple times every day if it was March 5th.  

He requested the volcano dessert and stood on his chair beating his chest as we sang Happy Birthday.  

We enjoyed walking around looking at all the animals and the aquariums.  Before we could leave, everyone picked out a stuffed turtle and sort of smiled for picture. 

Happy Birthday, Reedo!

Emory is 1

Emory had her first birthday party this afternoon, and it was a tea party. The girls all gathered for sweets and chit chat.  It must have worn the little ladies out, because a nap was required right after the party.  

The funniest part of the day was how well I matched Emory.  John Chris told me before we left the house that my Matilda Jane dress reminded him of something Ridley would wear.  Well, I almost matched the birthday girl's Giggle Moon outfit perfectly.

My precious Ridley and myself.  You can tell she is worn out!  It is hard to party so hard.

Celebrating friends

Our sweet friend, Keaton, turned four, and we had a great time celebrating.  The party was at Paradise Pond, which was so exciting for Reed.  He loves playing there.  Keaton was one of Reed's first friend, and he has known her his entire life.  He has a sweet spot in his heart for her.

Celebrating Friends!

Reed's friend, Walker, had his 4th birthday party at a new place.  It was the neatest set up.  There was a little town built along one side of the large building - complete with a fire station, beauty salon, grocery store, and a police station.  Reed was booked in the police station with a big smile.  He played along for a mug shot and even got behind bars. All the kiddos had a blast playing and being silly.  Reed even caught up with his baseball buddy, Nash.

WWE Birthday Party

Ryland was invited to a wrestling birthday party, and it was all out wrestle mania.  He had a crazy great time!
