The Cakes

I forgot to put a picture of the cakes! Like a crazy women, I did make both of their cakes!

I am not a pro for sure....this was my first time to ever do this. I think they turned out ok.

I don't know if I will do that next year. It is so much easier and less stressful to have them done by someone else! Making them might be a little over rated if you ask me! (Maybe if I just had ONE party a weekend it wouldn't be so bad!) If you can't tell Clayton's was a football and Katie's was a Crown.

CLAYTON AND KATIE'S BIRTHDAY'S

Friday was Katie's 2nd birthday and Sunday was Clayton's 8th birthday. We had Katie's party on Thursday night at our house. We had a really good turn out with several kids. Cooked burgers and had cake of course. Katie had a great

time. She was a mad woman opening the presents! Jeff and I and his parents got her the little play house. That was a hit for sure. She played in it for most of the party as well as the other girls.

Clayton chose for his party to invite 4 boys from his class to go up to Nena and Poppa's (Jeff's parents) Lake House in Heber Springs and spend the night on Friday night. They had a great time playing outside on the rope swing, playing the Wii and watching Alvin and the Chipmunks. We had pizza and cake also. It was a great and very relaxing party for me! I can't believe they are 8 and 2! Time flies by so fast.

Just a few random pictures of what has been going on with us. Clayton has been playing Spring Soccer. He is actually pretty good. He scored 4 goals in one game! Katie is just a mess as usuall! She is such a busy girl! She loves hanging out with the boys.

Clayton also had a Spring Music Program last Tuesday night. I think he was supposed to be a City Slicker. He is on the second row with the black vest on and his hair is parted in the middle.

Happy Easter!

We had a wonderful Easter weekend with family. My sister Rachelle and her husband Will came for the weekend as well as my mom. We did a little Searcy shopping, dyeing eggs, and of course lots of eating! We had an easter egg hunt for Clayton and Katie ( mainly for Katie) after lunch on Sunday. She was really getting into finding the eggs!

Happy St Patty's Day!

Our First Trip to Disney World

We had a great first time trip to Disney World! Both of the kids enjoyed it and I am excited to go back! These pictures are backwards, sorry. We spent our first day at Hollywood Studios. Clayton LOVED the Tower of Terror and the Rock'n Roller Coaster. I did not ride either of those so I will take their word for it that it was fun. Our second day was at the Magic Kingdom. It was everything I remember it being and more. It is so fun to have been there as a child and now taking your children. I loved seeing Katie's face when she would see Mickey and Minnie and the crew. She would try to jump out of my arms so she could run and tackle them! Our last day was at the Animal Kingdom. Such a neat place and atmosphere. I was talked into riding the Mt Everst roller coster and no one told me that it went backwards at one point! It was fun but I was definatly ready to get off! ( I am not a roller coaster lover!) Enjoy the pictures.

Katie loved seeing all the characters. She was not scared at all! This was the only picture we got with any characters. We were never in the right place at the right time I guess.

By the end of the second day, Katie was starting to get tired of her stroller!
