PARTY, PARTY,PARTY!

We've been doing lots of partying the last couple of weeks for Kaden and my birthdays. This was my labor of love for Kaden. He had to have a Buzz Lightyear cake.

He was a happy boy getting ready to leave for his friend party.

We had his party at Jump 2 It and we had 17 kids there. It was crazy but we had a good time!

This is Keaton's bestfriend Aidan. He moved down the street from us a couple of weeks after school started and they are in the same class. They love playing video games and trading their pokemon cards.

A group shot of the kids we could talk into sitting still long enough!!

This is Kaden's crown that Jenny made for him and he has loved it and worn it at all of his parties!

I can't believe he is four.

This is a family party we had at partners for Kaden and I. We get to celebrate together since our birthdays are so close!

This is hie school party and that is his teacher, Ms. Tammy. She is always telling me how smart Kaden is and how well behaved he is. She thinks he is a good example to the other kids in his class. Mommy's get to brag a little bit right? He got a little embarrassed when everyone sang to him

What a pose! His fourth party was at Jenny and Ben's house when we went for Thanksgiving. She made us a cookie cake to celebrate with. I didn't have any pics of that but it still counts too! She was sweet to do that! I think we are finally done celebrating now.

Christmas Parade

On our way to what has become a Christmas tradition with our family. Watching the Christmas parade in downtown Atlanta.

We're riding Marta cause you know its smarta!! Sorry I couldn't help myself. Anyway the boys love riding the train and its something we don't get to do too often.

Apparently only 2 of us knew that Jason was taking a picture!!

Most years we freeze our booties off but this year the weather wasn't too bad! Last week anyway now it is freezing.

Keaton kept wondering when they were going to throw out candy after I said something about it. Oops I must have been thinking of the PTC fourth of July parade.

Could this be me in another 10 or fifteen years? If I ever attempt to do this in my old age someone please whack me over the head with my baton. They call themselves the twilight twirlers... Jason and I had a good laugh about it.

Waiting for Santa!!

So funny story about Santa Claus. After the parade we were on our way home and I look over at this sports car driving beside us and there is Santa in his full gear driving and talking on his cell phone. He had a coweta county license plate as well. Well, I said Keaton look there is Santa driving that car. He wanted to know why he wasn't riding his sleigh and you could just see the thoughts spinning through his little head. I think we said something like oh Santa is just trying out the car before he give it to someone for Christmas but I'm not sure if he bought it or not. This is usually the year kids start saying stuff at school so we'll see.

Halloween Fun

We had a bonfire for halloween before we went trick or treating.

It was a little wild because my parents had to get Patrick's kids ready in their costumes beacuse Patrick and Karen were both working. Thay made it in time for trick or treating luckily.

Kaden's picture he just had to take.

Keaton was a storm trooper

Kaden was Buzz Lightyear. He was too cute and his wings really made the costume!

We're almost ready. You try getting 5 boys seven and younger to be STILL and Look at the camera! Not an easy task I assure you!!

Kayla was draculara! Dracula's daughter off some TV show.

Some of her friends that went trick or treating with her.

Our family's masterpieces...

Kaden wanted a mickey pumpkin.

Keaton had the owl/bat. You be the judge and solve a controversy in our family!!

I tried to take Kayla's pic with her pumpkin but she was embarrassed by hers. She did her soccer team name on her pumpkin. We thought she did a good job but she wasn't happy with it. She is an artsit and had just gotten her cast off so her wrist was bothering her quite a bit. We'll settle for a funny face.

Aunt Jenny did you teach her this?

This is a cookie cake I made for Tifny this year. I call her the crazy cat lady so I thought she needed a crazy cat cake too!

Happy Birthday Tifny!

Rocking out!

Jason and the boys cooking out while mommy had a girls night out with friends! This is about the extent of Jason's cooking.

My little Indian!

Isn't he cute?
