Whistle Blowin' Cakes

This weekend we were able to do some one-on-one excursions with the kiddos. I have been wanting to start this for a while, but you know, the plague hit. 

Aaron went with Mimi and PawPaw to ride the Orange Blossom Cannonball. From what I have heard he talked the entire time. 

Every child that rides the train gets a whistle, hat and scarf. That whistle is five seconds from being thrown out the window, but I know he's still so excited about being on the train, I just have to grin and bear it. 

While Aaron was on the train, Miss Jill and I went to Lindsay's cake decorating birthday party. This was Jill's first "big girl" party and she was definitely shy to start, but finally warmed up enough to decorate her cake.

All of the girls were able to work with fondant and decorate their cakes any way they wanted to.  Here is Jill's final product (before it was sprayed):

We had a really fun weekend and I loved being able to have a few hours with Jill. I hope all of you had a great weekend, too!

Miss A's First Birthday

We spent yesterday celebrating our friends daughter's first birthday. I cannot believe little Miss A is 1! 

Isn't her cake gorgeous? 

The kiddos had a blast playing at this park, there was so much for them to do. I think Miss A enjoyed her day as well and honestly she had the best reaction to having happy birthday sung to her. It was like she was in total shock that it was all for her. So cute!

Happy Birthday little Miss A!

Mama I ride the horse!

Yesterday we went to our friends, the B6, birthday party. They had it at farm that rescues horses. The kids had a blast riding the horses!

I can't remember how many times Aaron went around, but he LOVED it! He even talked to the horses the entire time. Jill was a little apprehensive at first, but she rode a few times and loved it each time.

Thanks so much to the B6 for inviting us and to the people at Dubar's Corner for making it a great day!

A Splashing Good Time

This weekend literally flew by. We went to a first birthday party on Saturday and the kids had a blast! It was at one of our favorite parks and as an added bonus the kids got to go into the splash park. It's at that point in the summer that it's just too hot to do anything else.


All four of us were pretty pooped after the party and just hung out the rest of the day.

Like I mentioned before it's at the point in the summer that it's too hot to do anything, and we are so getting cabin fever. I'm on a mission this week to find fun inside stuff for us to do, especially when my MOM is here. I'm finally having my septoplasty and am not looking forward to it by any stretch of the imagination. I'm pretty lucky that my MOM is coming to help out with the kids so I can recover. The most random part of my recovery is that I cannot wear my glasses, only my contacts, because I cannot have the frames sitting on the cast. This shall prove to be interesting....

Hope everyone had a fantastic weekend!
