SUPERHERO TRAINING CAMP

For Brayden's 5th Birthday Party we had
SUPERHERO TRAINING CAMP!

We started our SUPERHERO TRAINING CAMP with a visit from BATMAN!!

He led the trainees through some warm up excercises then through an obstacle course.
After completion of the course the fabulous heroes had earned SUPER CAPES- which they decorated themselves.
BATMAN took them on a flying expedition through the backyard and took a break from fighting evil for one last pic before returning to the batcave....
My mom made a SUPER cake...

Everyone seemed to enjoy the BLUE icing!

We opened gifts, played like crazy then called it a day....

a SUPER day (I couldn't resist!)

BIRTHDAY BOY!

Our little man turned 5 today...

WOW! We started the morning off with yummy cinnamon rolls (did I mention they were so warm they melted the candles, hmmm) which everyone loved -YEEEUMM!

A family tradition around our place is the early morning serenade via phone from the other family members. No matter where we are, you can always count on the serenade. Brayden enjoyed his call fom PaPaw, Lainey and Sho Sho during breakfast.

After a long day of waiting, Lainey and Papaw came over with a gift before our outing to Incredible Pizza. Brayden has his very own IPOD (Ok, so maybe it is a Philips but it plays music, vidoes and radio....Brayden was THRILLED! Chance loaded a few videos of the kids on it before they gave it to him....they just love watching themselves!!

More festivities to come...next up- SUPERHERO TRAINGIN CAMP!

Easter Egg Color Fest!

Domestic Godess

What Is A Domestic Goddess??
A Domestic Goddess is a SAHM, a homemaker, a housewife, but instead of saying "Yeah I'm a stay at home mom..." She should say
"I'm a Domestic Goddess"
She cleans
She cooks
She wipes noses, teary eyes, tushies, and anything else that needs it
She gives the kisses to boo boos
She gets the kids ready for school
She's a taxiShe's a dictionary
She's a fashion director
She does the never ending laundry
She does the billsShe does the dishes
She goes to all the dr's appointments, teacher meetings
She takes care of her husband (which is the BIGGEST job of all)

BUT the part that makes her a goddess is..............
She isn't perfect, but her hubby treats her like she is
She's proud of what she does
She's got imagination and creativity
She makes herself IRRESISTABLE to her hubby
She EMBRACES her life and lives it to the fullest
She has a wild side
She always tries looks good... no frumpy stained t-shirts and sweats (well at least not when she goes out...)
She isn't some humdrum Susie Homemaker and doesn't want to be... she wants to be a rockin' version of Martha
most importantly, SHE'S HAPPY wth her life
"Inside EVERY woman is a goddess.." LET YOURS OUT!

Yeah for vaccines!

I think we are definitely on the uphill from our chicken pox scare. Brayden was totally clear, aside from a few red marks left on his skin and Kennedy is drying up very fast. Neither went past the pimply phase which is fantastic! I can only attribute the escape from 10 days of misery to the well baby vaccinations... sounds good to me! Thanks to everyone who has been checking in on us! We will be around soon!!

Chicken POP Update....

Well, we first found the spots Thursday night after bath time. Kennedy had them all over and Brayden just had a few. Friday we were still in the little pimple stage, just more of them. So far this morning we are still there. Kennedy definitely has a bigger breakout than Brayden but no one is in the full blister stage as of yet....yeah! I am praying we just dry out and miss out on the crying, itching, etc.....hmmmm. I will upload pics later today (just for you Cindy!) More on the Chicken POP Chronicles to come..... Here is to a "pop" free day at your house!

We have CHICKEN "POPS".....more to come.......
