HaPpY 10th BiRtHdAy BrAyDoN!!!

Wow, I cannot believe my little boy is 10! Time really has flown by. He's like a little man now, and he definitly thinks he is bigger and older than he is. He's so excited to be in double digits now. It freaks me out a little, lol!

Well, this year he decided he wanted a Star Wars birthday party, so that's what he got. We decided to forgo the friend party and go to Sea World instead, so we had a little get together with Aunt Katie and Uncle Clint and our good friends Jon and Mandy (who the kiddos just love). We had pizza, ate cake and opened presents.

 Katie and I decorated the house for him while he was at school, so when he came home he walked into this. He was so excited to see his decorations he almost teared up a little. Best Moment Ever!! :)

 I made him a fun star wars cake. He loved it. These cakes are so fun! They are a pain in the butt, but fun. It took two and a half days to make this and about two and a half seconds to destroy it. But it's worth it to me. My kids will always remember their fun birthday cakes.

 We made some star wars cupcakes too.

Happy Birthday my awesome boy! We love you so much and are so proud of you!!

Ambria's 3rd Birthday

We had a little party for Ambria while we were Utah at Christmastime, but when we got back to Texas, we had a little cake for her on her actual birthday. I can't believe my little girl is 3!! I don't want her to grow up, I wish she would stay my little princess who likes to have her hair look pretty and wear a pretty dress all the time. I really hope it stays that way, it's fun having my own life size dress up doll.

All of these pictures were taken from my phone, sorry about the quality.

The BIG 3-0!!!!

Happy Birthday to Jason! He turned 30 on friday. He was pretty much in pain and had a fever the whole time, but still had fun. We had some friends over and played games, ordered pizza and had birthday cake.

My Little Boy Turned 9!!

Braydon turned nine this year! Holy cow! I can't even believe it. I know this post is WAY late, but here are a few pics of his par-tay. Below, he is opening gifts from his friends....

He had a Bakugan themed party, so I made him some cakes shaped like Bakugans. I'm a rookie, I know, but it's really fun to try!

Ambria's 2nd!

So while we were in Utah for Christmas vacation we got to celebrate Ambria's second birthday. It was so nice to be able to celebrate that with all her family. I can't believe my baby girl is 2 already! It is going way too fast. Jason calls her ladybug and she really likes ladybugs. So naturally she had a ladybug birthday party. Marqae and I attempted a ladybug cake for her, here it is. She also had ladybug cupcakes for those who didn't want to eat the fondant cake. Ambria pretty much just licked the icing off of them. But at least she ate it this year. Last year she wouldn't touch her birthday cake, she fed it to daddy instead.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SWEET GIRL!!

The Girls

My friends and hubby threw me a surprise birthday party last saturday to celebrate my Bday! Complete with a BBQ, singing, cake and presents. (oh, and I also got to wear this AWESOME pretty tiara!) LOL. It was so fun! Above is me, Leiah, Erin, and Kristin. Thanks you guys are the BEST!!! XOXO

Twister!

Better late, than never, right? For Braydon's birthday last week, we let him pick the dinner he wanted to have and he could pick a fun activity to do and he chose family twister. So that's what we did. I was actually kind of fun! And I must say that I ROCK at twister! Haha, Jk! But it was a good time. It is a lot harder than I remember!

Happy 8TH Birthday Braydon

Braydon 8 years old.

The day he was born

His first birthday!

I cannot believe my boy is 8 years old already! Where has the time gone? He has done so much growing over the past 8 years, there are so many memories. I am so proud of the person Braydon has become. He is funny, witty, and so fun to be around. But he is also very smart and responsible. He is such a great helper around the house and with his little sister. I don't know what we would do without you, Braydon! I love you buddy!!!! Happy Birthday!

Birthday Party Fun

I messed up and this post was supposed to be after the next one down, so for more details see bleow. Oops. I could fix it, but just don't wanna! HAHA. Anyways, Braydon is opening his gifts from his friends. They were all so thoughtful, he loved all his presents. This one was from his best bud, Kaden. He is so excited to build his dinosaur!

Kaden and Kaleb even made him a WAY cute card, it was so super sweet. He has some great friends!

After the party, Braydon thought that the pinata wasn't quite destroyed enough so he went out back and took care of business. It was torn to SHREDS by the time he was done.

Ambria had fun at the party too. She was running around outside and trying her hardest to keep up with the big kids.

Braydon's Birthday Party

Here are a few pics from Braydon's birthday party he had on Saturday. He had all his good friends over and they had a blast! We had an Army theme (Braydon chose it) at first I though that would be a little weird, but we rocked it. We had the house all decked out in Army decor. All the kids got dog tags with their name and rank and army helmets to wear. It was a lot of fun. We played "pin the tank on the target" and then we bbq'd some hamburgers and hot dogs for all the kiddies. We tore up a pinata and blew out candles and opened presents. Good Times! In the above picture, Braydon is blowing out his trick candles. It was so funny, they kept relighting and after a while I finally had to take them out of the cake and put them in water to get them to stop catching fire.

Braydon taking a good whack at the pinata. That thing really was a TANK. We could not get it to break open. We were using a metal bat and still it took each kid three turns to finally get it open.

Butm when it finally opened.....well............let's just say, they cleaned up FAST!

The awesome Army cake.

Some of the decorations

Classroom Fun!

Today, in Braydon's 2nd grade class, they had a party for all the kids who have birthdays in March since they are now on Spring Break for a week. So Jason, Ambria and I went and brought some goodies and joined in the fun. It was a blast to there with him in his class. They had a lot of fun. The teacher gave the birthday kids some silly glasses and we all sang happy birthday and then the kids got to eat their treats and watch a cartoon on the television. This kid on the right of the above picture jumped in front of the camera right as I took the picture....haha.

They kids are getting their birthday presents from Mrs. G

Eating some treats and watching the Magis School Bus. Braydon loves that show. It was kinda interesting, while we were there the other kids were all laughing and goofing off with Jason (shocker!) but Braydon was GLUED to the movie. He was WAY more interested in watching the show than whatever else was going on in the classroom.

Ambria made herself at home. She LOVED being in the classroom. She found a little chair and kicked back. All the kids loved watching her, they all thought she was so fun.

She decided to do some "centers" while she was there. They are learning centers that the kids do. We had a lot of fun there today and, of course, Jason had a lot of fun with the kids. Good times!

Happy Birthday Bria!

Yesterday was Ambria's first birthday. We had a little celebration with just the family. It was fun. But I sure wish the rest of our family and friends could have celebrated with us. I can't believe a year has gone by already. Our little baby girl is finally one. We were hoping she would have started walking by her birthday, but no such luck. She will walk holding onto things, and she even took 2 steps by herself yesterday trying to get to the couch to get some popcorn. So she will hopefully take off soon. It has been such a fun year with Bria. She has gone on 2 trips to Utah and even had some family come to visit here. She has grown so much and even though we have only had her one year, we can't imagine our lives without her! She fits right in to our family and she is definatley the apple of her daddy's eye too! She has him so wrapped around her little finger. She is so much fun and has a sweet little personality. She LOVES to snuggle and give hugs and kisses. She loves it when we smooch on her and love her tight. She loves to snuggle with her little babies. And she loves to be outside and see the dog. Hope you had a great birthday baby Bria!! We love you!

Party Girl

Here are a few pics of her little party. We just did a little family celebration. She had some balloons and some presents and cupcakes. It was fun. She had no idea what was going on, but we had a good time.
