End of School for P...

Paisley had her end of school program 2 weeks ago..It was precious and the children have learned so much of course Paisley decided that she was going to have no part of the program :( I think a big part of it was we got there changed her clothes and sent her back to class in her eyes at 5 you pick her up and take her home NOT send her back to school. The funny thing is she is my little preformer but NOT that day!!

It was a bitter sweet moment as last week was Paisleys last week of school she is going to be staying with various people this summer~ Nannie, Kendall (she is the main person of action), Gina and maybe eventually starting Mrs. Susies with brother if not come August 1 she will be there. I have to tell you that is what excites me the most Mrs. Susie is a blessing to us and I am so glad that I will have both my babies back together again!!! It will be a bitter sweet year as next year Callen will move to Kindergarten can you believe...NOT ME!!!

While we loved there old school I only felt it was fair and right to have them spend this last year together in fact to me it was a MUST!!!!!

QUICK...

HURRY....JUMP on IN...let the CATCH up POST BEGIN!!!! hehehehehehe

Me. my littlest darlings and our favorite Kendall on a whim decided to head to outdoor days..it was hot but the kids enjoyed the hour we were there!!!Always interested in animalsA little alligator lesson...we need those when you live in the sticksThe little dude shows sissy how you carefully touchOf course we LOVE tractors and GREEN!!!Even the diva chimmed in!!!

And Callen ended it with a little nerf shooting

A two-two party that was too-too CUTE!!

TWO TWO Celebration!!!

I have to tell you out of all the parties I have done for little miss P (you know this is only the second) this by far was my favorite...so girly, twirly and sweet!! Of course I will also be the 1st to admit that my fingers were sooooooo worn out from making tutus that I had to sweet talk bebe, mimi and uncle blaine into helping finish the tutu wreaths
Each and every little crazy thing my husband gave me heck for ended up being perfect......The sweet little smocked outfits hanging (thanks Aunt Lindsay)
The ballet print daddy did for P that we had friends and family sign (thanks daddy and Lindsay for letting us borrow the frame)
The endless array of tutus we borrowed, bought and made The incredible vintage jeweled bows for http://www.caryhairbows.com/ no words needed other then if you havent tried Shannon it is a must because once you go Cary you wont go back!!

All the wonderful family that brought YUMMY food....

The cotton candy tutu was my favorite little project and I think my sweet babies loved pulling it off as fast as I could pin it up (thanks Aunt Kim for cutting the two two sweet tags)The cutest tutu and tie cupcakes around!!!!(thanks Michelle)All in all the party was two two cute....it was the perfect way to celebrate little P turning 2....I can hardly believe I have a 2 year old on my hands...so let me say WELCOME terrible, sassy two's and come on trying 3's. Up next will be actual party shots and YES mommy even captured some picture with her own camera of all the little tutu'sw and ties at the party...my favorite part about a party is the sweet little ones who join us to celebrate!!

Let's Play a Game....

Of Catch up....

Ready

Set

Gooooooooo

Ok really lets face it this momma is BEHIND, BEHIND, BEHIND and this blog is feeling the effects. So I am going to try and play catch up for a bit in hopes that by the end of the weekend we are talking about Sassy little P's party ;) yes I did wink on that.

The beginning of this month brought excitement and tears....the softball team started the playoffs with devistating news of a loss of a friend, classmate, teammate and fighter. That day me and my babies went to the game and let me be the 1st to tell you those girls on the field played there hearts out, never would you have known a player lost her sister that very morning, a team lost a team mate, and friends lost their friend....they played with heart and for a cause and I know that those girls will never forget that game!

Incredible just hardly describes what was felt!!!

Congrats girls on a fabulous WIN

A little peek....

There is a fabulous post coming up about my little man...so I wanted to share with you all a little peek into the upcoming FUN!

Time....

Time has just slipped by and lets face it last week blogger was having some issues but I am officially back in the saddle and ready for some post....

Now for those of you who think P just cooperates with me and lets me take all the cute adorable pictures I want...let me set you straight for every good shot (like on her invitation) we get 100 crazy shots. And that day we got 1 shot before she was up to something....

See you can tell in her eyes she is thinking at first I thought she was being shy or trying to eat her hand because it was way padt dinner time.....until.......

Then you can tell she was definately up to something

And before I can stop her

It is all OVER......

and these are the 5 pictures we got lucky for me the 1st on I took was the ONLY good one!!!!

Is it almost that time.....

I can hardly believe that the littlest in our house is about to turn 2.......really can it be just days away??
