Tyler (my great nephew) had his first birthday party Saturday afternoon. We all had a blast! Kecia and her crew did a great job of decorating the gym in his green and yellow frog theme. Robbie had gone to pick up Dylan, Daniel, and Kaylee, so all of ours were together. I also discovered the trick for making Lauren almost invisible to Carsyn...feed her cupcakes!! I'll bet Lauren walked by 100 times and Carsyn never even noticed!
The kids slept great that night (worn out from the bouncy house I'm sure), and I got up early Sunday morning to finish up some projects. Robbie and I had decided to keep the bouncy house up for Children's Church...the kids don't get that many chances to play on it, so we used it while we had it. Sad note...Kennleigh could not play...she fell off the horse Saturday afternoon and broke her wrist :( I think she's determined to be the better person, though...she keeps asking to go feed an apple to the horse she fell off :)
Sunday afternoon Robbie and I headed to the river. There is some work we wanted to get done before the swimming/fishing/tubing/boating season gets in full swing. We were so excited that Mama and Daddy decided to come on over to spend the night. Robbie went to work Monday, but Mama, Daddy, and I did our own thing at the river. It looks so good!!! Kitchen cabinets are painted, windows and doors have new casings, new curtains are up, the pantry is freshly stocked and organized, the refrigerator is stocked, and the laundry area is cleaned and organized.
I was reminded yesterday of what fun it is being a child. It doesn't matter how old I get, when I'm with Mama and Daddy I'm just their kid. I'm at that wonderful time in my life when I can do grown up things (drive, paint by myself, cook bacon) and still love being a child. I have the most awesome parents...it is still my goal to grow up and be just like them.
Aren't those frog plates the cutest things?

Look at all those gifts...Casey did the little chair
Can anyone be happier than a 1 year old with a cake of his own?
