It's a Princess Party!

Mommy this is SO MUCH FUN! Caroline and Camille were in the same pre-school class this year. Camille has started a different program but was sweet enough to invite us over for her Princess Birthday Party. It was adorable and Lauren( her mother) left no stone unturned. She had a Princess come and entertain the kids making flower balloons, painting faces, and getting their nails done. They had a dress up station too. Caroline was amazed at the princess!Lauren and The PrincessSmoked salmon and cream cheese sandwiches. Loved the little tables! Just perfect for a 3 year old party!Cupcakes, cookies, candied pretzels...all pink and all princess!Dressing up with Bea BabyMy sweet friend Vivian and Bea

Up until this point, Caroline hasn't allowed anyone to paint her face. We usually do the hand. But today she was ready for the lady bug on her face!!Smiling with the Princess and Getting their faces paintedInstead of a dining room table, they opted for the jumpy. It's there all the time...pretty smart I think.So excited to be with Josie and CamilleGetting her nails down at the PRINCESS PARTY!

Bye Bye Blazy!!!

Yes, I am blogging about saying goodbye to the Trail Blazer! Dave got this car brand new in 06 and has driven for 6 years. 6 VERY important years. We got married AND brought Caroline home from the hospital in it. With like 150,000 miles on it, we decided to trade it. That car has heard fights, tears, joys, and the excitement of our life for the past 6 years. Farewell Blazy! Hope your new owner is good to you!!!!!!

Ready for Spring!

The past few weeks have been just beautiful. Our grass is greening and the sun has been warm and bright. With each warm day, we spend a little more time outside. Though these pics suggest it was cold because of her jacket, she shed it pretty quickly once we started playing.

I also let her help make brownies! We ate the whole pan and loved every second of the warm treats. She is quite the helper.

This past weekend, I had a small shower in Tallassee. Being my 2nd baby and being a girl, I just invited a few friends and mostly those that had offered to help or host something for me. It was so NICE. My sister really went all out and made it super special. The food was great and the crowd was just my favorite group of people.

I got essentials and a a few precious little outfits for the new little Benson princess. Caroline got several gifts too. I said, "Is this her shower or mine". I ate tons and laughed a lot too. THANK you to everyone that helped make the day special with food or just your presence. It is a shame I don't get to see these special people more often. Weddings, deaths, and births are about the only time we get to see each other. Cell phones are a beautiful thing though! But none-the-less it was super fun and enjoyable! Thanks again!!!
