Chanley's 2nd Birthday Party

We had Chanley's 2nd Birthday Party on Sunday at Thornhill pool in Sherwood. Last year when we had her birthday at the park and it was 101 degrees I thought..."next year we are definitely having a pool party." Who would have known it would be 72 degrees in August! The kids swam their hearts out but had some blue lips afterwards. It was a luau theme with primarily hot pink and lime green as the colors. Her cake was made by Cakery Affairs and it was amazing. I also got some cupcakes for the kiddos from Sam's. The colors were not exactly what I had asked for but they were yummy too. The goody bags were filled with Chanley's favorite snack...GOLDFISH, a lei, and some crazy looking cookies with tiny snowballs on top. Colby picked them out on the latino food isle at WalMart. I have no idea what their called and could never pronounce the name but they were super cute and the kids thought they were great! I attached a special thank you to each bag from Chanley as well. We had pizza, cake, and opened some amazing gifts. Just to name a few she got: pj's, fall clothes, a puzzle, Elmo hands, a baby stroller, money, gift cards, a baby doll with diaper bag, and lots more. She had a great time and has asked me to sing her the "party" song every night since as she is going to sleep. I finally had to throw the remaining cake/cupcakes out today....I literally took a bite everytime I walked into the kitchen. I'm sure my thighs will show the proof. Thank you to everyone who came to the party. We love you all!

Kindergarten Cutie!

Colby started Kindergarten at Hurricane Creek Elemetary last week. He absolutely loves school and is doing extremely well. His teacher says his is "Mr. Social" and talks to everyone in the class. I love that about him! We are just having to work on when talking is allowed. He gets up very easily in the morning and has given us no problems about going to bed earlier. He is exhausted and I think this is why he doesn't put up a fight. I did very well on the first day and held it together for the most part. It is still so surreal to me that I have a baby in school. Chanley and I are keeping ourselves very busy while he is gone and getting some quality mommmy/daughter time in. She cannot wait to pick him up in the afternoon and squeals so loudly when he gets in the car. It is precious! Here are some pictures of his first day of school.

Favorite Cousins

After church on Sunday we went swimming at Jereomy's cousins house. She has two boys that Colby just adores and cannot get enough playtime with. They swam for hours and Chanley impressed us all by doggie paddling all over the pool. She has no fear...which scares me to death! Thanks Jeannie and Tracy for having us over...we had a blast!

Mr and Mrs William Adams

Last Saturday Jereomy's cousin Billy got married. Jereomy was a groomsman and Colby was a ring bearer, and I must say they were two of the most handsome boys I have ever seen. Megan was a beautiful bride and the wedding was beautiful. Thanks to both of you for choosing Colby and Jereomy to be in your wedding party...it was an honor to them both!
