Toy Story “4” Riley’s 4th Birthday Party

Yet again I have let time get away from me & haven’t posted in forever. But waaaay back in August was Riley’s 4th Birthday! He wanted a Toy Story party this year. This party wasn’t as elaborate as I’ve done in the past, but he enjoyed himself & that’s all that matters! I kept the food simple & just did pizza, chips, & cake! Along with tea, capri suns, or water to drink. We had it at our house & in the middle of August in the South, if you aren’t inside, you need to be in water! So we had lots of kiddie pools, sprinklers & water guns to stay cool!



Another cute invitation made by Kelly.




They really were having fun…just doesn’t look that way in these two pictures! Ha!



It was nap time for Averly so she decided to snuggle on ViVi.



Some of the men just being men.



Love this! He was so proud of his cake & loved showing it off!



Singing Happy Birthday. He gets so shy!



Present time!!! (And yes, he changed into his Scooby Doo pajamas…it was his day, so I didn’t put up a fight!)



Such sweet sisters!!




Somehow Brooke always ends up being the target when there’s kids & water involved.



Enjoying his favors. ;0)



Silly girls-Aunt B & Averly!



New bicycle from Mama & Dada!



One of my best friends in the whole world! SO thankful they drove 2 hours just for Riley’s party! We used to live 3 minutes from each other so now it’s hard going so long without being together every week. Love you & miss you, Mary Duke!



Thanks again to everyone that came to Riley’s party! I know he was excited to see everyone!

 

Blessed.

I couldn’t ask for anything more. I have 2 beautiful children who are healthy & happy. TAG & I are alive & well to watch them grow. We have a roof over our heads & food on our table. God is good all the time! I am beyond thankful for these two nuggets that I call mine!



My cup runneth over.

 

Making Wishes

The 4th of July

This year we went over to Aunt Brooke & Uncle Josh’s for a cookout on the fourth. We played & then shot fireworks later that night. The kids loved them this year—especially the sparklers!

My sweet babies!



I love this of everyone looking at the fireworks!



What a great Fourth of July we had with great friends & family!

Summer Fun

The kids loved playing in the water even more this summer. I could barely keep them inside any!



Silly girl! She gets that from her Daddy! ;0)



I can’t believe the summer is already over! But I am soooo ready for fall!! Bring on the sweatshirts, pumpkins, & chili!
