Arrrrr you rrrrready to parrrrrtyyyy???

For Druws Brithday this year we had a PIRATE PIZZA SWIM PARTY!
Alot of Druws cousins, family and friends came.
I think it turned out really good and they all seemed to have a had a BLAST!!!

My Mom and I made some cute eyepatches and pirate bandanas for each of the kids.

They looked so cool all decked out!!!!

Here are just a of few of the Pirates that came to Druws birthday.

There were big kid pirates...... Daniel, Christian and Ashton.....

..... and little biddy baby pirates. (My friend Sarahs baby Dallas)

We all ate yummy pizza and had homade rootbeer. (Thanks Logan :)

The fun pools, slip-n-slides and sprinklers the kiddos played in.

We had them play the game... Pin The Eyepatch On The Pirate!

It was so funny wathching them try and do it after we spun them around.

It was also so funny to watch the little ones who didn't understand how to play too well try and peek through the bandana. It was way fun!

My VERY crafty and creative sister Emily made this pirate ship to put the cupcakes on. It turned out soooooooo awesome!! You can't read it but on the front read flag it reads,

CAPTAIN DRUW!!! Thanks Em, you're the BEST!!!

The group singing HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Captain Druw!!!

Druw opening all of the awesome presants from his friends. Thanks everyone, you're GREAT! Druw LOVED everything!!!

And last but not least when the party was over and it was time for everyone to go I had a tent set up with a pirate inside holding a treasure chest with goodie bags to give to the kids.

It was fun seeing how some of the kids reacted to it, some thought he was going to come alive.

Ha Ha!!

I think the party turned out GREAT! Thanks everyone who helped!!!

-

I really cannot believe my little Druw is now 3 years old.

Where the heck did that time go? I still remember being pregnant with him like it was just yeasterday. Him as a little baby in the NICU like it was just yesterday. Him sitting up, crawling, taking his first step, going potty in the toilet for the first time I remember all those things like it really was just yesterday. It's a bittersweet watching him grow up and turn into a big boy. It is fun to see him develop his own little personality and become more independent but at the same time it's kinda sad knowing he will only be this little for a short time. Sometimes I wish I could just stop time but that is impossile so I need to cherish EVERY second I can with him because one day he'll be all grown up and out on his own.

I love you more than anything in this whole wide world Andruw!

You bring a smile to my face everyday!!!

I can't get enough of you!! :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LITTLE GUY!!!!!!

*HaPpY 4th Of JuLy*

So the 4th of July is by far my favorite holiday! I love how everyone gets together with their friends and familes and enjoys being with each other having a good time doing whatever it may be, big breakfast, bbq's, fireworks, parades, movies,the festivals or just playing games. I love how red white and blue is seen every where you look, and those great counrty songs are playing on the radio! I LOVE IT ALL!! I also just love the feeling I get on the 4th just knowing we're celebrating our country and the freedoms we all enjoy and the price that has been paid and still is being paid for that freedom. I get choked up at the parade every year when the flag goes by and we all stand up in silence with our hands on our hearts showing our respect to the flag and to the importants and special symbolism it is to our country. I know our country is full of different types of people with different outlooks and views on EVERYTHING so it's just neat to me to have a day set a side out of the year to come together as a country and show our patriotism and celebrate being an American!!!

Let freedom ring!!!! Happy 4th of July everyone!!! :)

We had a GREAT 4th!
It stared a day early by going to Grammy and Paws house to have a bbq and light some fireworks!

Druw Lovin on that watermelon!

Cameron eating a triple stacked burger bigger than his face! :)

Cousins and best buddies Charley Ashton and Druw being SUPER HEROS.

(They were so cute to watch play together.)

Now those are some serious lookin super heros! They mean buisness! :)

Nate put on a nice firework show for us! This was the finale!

The next morning we woke up bright and early and went to the balloon festival. Well we attempted to go, we pulled up and it was JAM PACKED so we just sat in our car and watched it.

These two were Druws favorite ones:

Then of course we went to the parade!

After the parade we went to the art festival. While we were there Druw wanted to get his face painted like he did last year. (looks like this will be a tradition every 4th of July:)

There were tons of different paintings he could choose from and he chose the LION.

He was so cute! RRRROOOOAAARRRR!!! He thought he was so cool! :)

Then we went over to my parents house and watched the stadium of fire fireworks from on top of their roof. They've got a great view.

( My camera died so I don't have any pics, but it was a great show!!!)

This is a video of Druw saying the pledge of alligence. He needed my help with some of it but he's got it down pretty good. I love how he doesn't take his hand off of his heart the whole time. I should mention that i've never tried to teach this to him he just picked up on it somehow. He's one smart cookie!!

(Sorry you have to tilt your head to watch it)

HaPpY 25th BiRtHdAy NaTe

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NATE!!!

So I am a day late but I just wanted to make a little post telling Nate Happy Birthday!

For his Birthday he woke up early and went golfing with some of his buddies. When he got home I had a nice brunch made for him. Druw gave him a cute card balloons and a resses candy bar ( Nates favorite) he picked out the balloons all by himself. :) After 'brunch' we all got into comfy cloths and kicked backed by watching a movie and taking a nice nap. After thet we got ready and went to dinner at Red Lobster. They even sang Happy Birthday to Nate! :) Our waiter was awesome and brought over a live lobster and let Druw pet it and stuff, it was so awesome ( I

wish I would've had my camera.)

It's just so crazy to me to think Nate is 25. Time has gone by so fast and so much has happend. I still remember 6 years ago when we were first dating and celebrating that birthday with him. Wow!!! I feel old.

Well Nate I hope you had a great birthday!

We love you you OLD FART!!!! :)
