Heidi and Andi
Our kiddos birthdays are coming up and soon!! What are you all doing this year? Do you have a theme?
Natalie is so excited to be having a "puppy party". Just here at the house and with all of our family, as usual. She's really into classic kids' games right now - musical chairs, duck-duck-goose, races, etc. We're modifying several to fit in with the puppy theme. Her gifts from us will be a microphone and a guitar. She's SO excited about the whole thing.
How about Connor and Taylor? Can you believe they're going to be 4??!! I also wondered how big they're getting size-wise. Natalie seems HUGE to us - so tall! I think she's about 40" tall (I only know that because we have her measured on the inside of the closet door!) and about 39lbs. She looks so long now.
I know, it's crazy! Connor's 42" and 41 lbs...it just blows me away!
We are renting a pavilion at a park nearby and we have 60+ people coming! LOL I love doing big parties and this place has ground sprinklers, playgrounds, dirt bike hills, bocce ball courts, horseshoes, and sand pits for the kids to play in. We're doing a Spiderman theme and the evite was hilarious! Scott added Connor's head onto a Spiderman picture...so funny.
The best thing about renting a pavilion is that we hardly have to clean and my house doesn't get destroyed! 
We're not sure what we're giving Connor yet, but he loves water guns so I think we're going to stick to that.
That sounds like fun, too! We only have about 20 family members, so it's just right for having it at the house. I hope it doesn't rain. I made Natalie's invites and they were so cute, too. She helped make the 'doggy bags' for our 'dog food' to-go snack.
One of the games we're playing is Pick up the Poop. - you blacken hotdogs and put them in the yard, then go in teams picking them up with pooper scoopers and bringing them back to a bucket. I didn't want to pay for expensive pooper scoopers, so we're using salad tongs from the $1 Store. Should be one of the funnier ones.
Bump for Andi - I'm not sure how often she's on.
Good Morning! Both of your parties sound like they are going to be FUN!!!
I'm so excited about her party it's going to be a "real" Tea Party. Take a look at her web page: www.lilysteatime.com a friend of mine started this business. She will come to my house set up little table and chairs , linens, decorate and use real china. She will bring dress up clothes for the girls and one boy and take pictures of them. Then they are going to decorate a picture frame for the picture she took so they can take it home.
I made Tea Bag shaped Goody Bags and all the Cupcakes have a tiny Tea cup on them. Her party will be on the 28th so it's getting close. I've been planning the darn thing for about 5 months because I was so excited about it.
Billy and I decided Taylor deserved something extra special this year because she is always going to the track and sitting in the dirt to watch her Big Brother ride his motorcycle.
I will be sure to post some pictures. Wow, our little ones are going to be FOUR!!!
That sounds so cool Andi! Natalie would LOVE that. Our party is on the 21st. Hope you all have a really great time!
How was the party, Deanna??? I'm frantically putting together the last pieces of his party, but I'm excited to see everyone!!
And, Andi, that party sounds like so much fun!!!! We're trying for #2 now for a year and I'm hoping that it will be a girl!!!
The party was a BLAST! Natalie had such a great time and the weather was beautiful. We went to Build-A-Bear yesterday as one of her gifts from grandparents and she absolutely LOVED that as well. (Me, too!) I'll post pics soon. It was a really great party and thanks for asking!
