"Fancy Nancy" BIrthday Party!

Reese had a few of her favorite little people over to help celebrate her 3rd birthday. She chose a "Fancy Nancy" theme.


They started with a craft of making butterfly wings "fancy"...


with the help of Nanny and Blake.



Look at the concentration...


Elyse..


Emma....


Lily....


Of course I wouldn't have any pictures if it were for Landry's Momma! Thanks Erin!


According to Fancy Nancy, sandwiches should be served with frilly toothpicks:)


Reese requested a "crown" cake and this was my best attempt! I really need to practice a little more then just once a year at her birthday!


Our sweet friend Blake was an awesome helper!


She helped out with the craft and got the girls set up playing a few games and dressing up. They were funny...



After they played a bit and had lunch it was time for CAKE!!


The "daddy-razzi" was close by:)


Happy Birthday Sweet Baby Girl! Mommy and Daddy love you so so much!

Reese had a great time! Thank you to all her friends who helped make her birthday such a special day.

Happy 3rd Birthday Sweet Baby Reese!!

I can hardly believe that Reese turned 3 on Saturday! It seems that she is growing up in the blink of an eye. Look at this yummy newborn bundle...

Happy Halloween 2010

After all the Halloween/pumpkin activities we have been enjoying Reese was thrilled that Sunday was in fact "Halloween day"! We started the day with church where she got to wear her costume and the kids had a little party in Sunday school. After church, lunch and nap time it was time to get ready for the neighborhood block party and finally trick or treating. I think Bob was just as excited as Reese to go trick or treating..he loves Halloween!


Blake the tooth fairy and Reese the butterfly before the party..

The pipe cleaner "antenna" were a last minute addition as Reese wanted something pink in her hair like Blake. I was not going for the pink hairspray:)

The block party was fun along withe the usual mass chaos of chasing a nearly 3 year old chasing the 87907668888 other children at the party:)


Reese was stoked to catch up with all her peeps..
Olivia the pig..aka Emma




Tristan the Iron Man(I think?) You can tell I'm a girl mom because I have no clue about these boy costumes:)! Tristan just moved in across the street and he also goes to Reese's school.


and of course Blakey:)


The kids had a great time before heading out to trick or treat. Bob and Reese went trick or treating with Emma and her folks while I stayed home to pass out candy. It was a fun night. Of all the candy Reese's favorite thing was 2 little jars of play-doh that she got. She LOVES that messy stuff:)

Carving Pumpkins

We decided Friday night would be a good night to carve our pumpkins so we could have jack-o-lanterns for the weekend. Daddy did most of the carving on the two big pumpkins and Reese and I helped with cleaning them out.






Then Reese decided she wanted to do a little one so we worked on it together. She wanted one happy and one sad so we ended up with two happy and one sad. Reese was pretty proud of our work:)

Halloween at Mygym

Every year at Mygym they have a costume class the week of Halloween. The kids were thrilled to see their peeps all dressed up! The mommy's were also thrilled when we realized the three girls were all going to be insects...

Reese the Butterfly! Landry the Bumblebee and Elyse the Ladybug! Three sweet friends!

Reese adores Landry..look how sweet they are...



Circle time with Princess Leia..aka Miss Addie!

and of course some actual gymnastics...

The Flower Mound Pumpkin Patch

Last Friday Reese's friend Emma invited us to go to yet another pumpkin patch. We had already been to two but since we had painters in the house and Reese LOVES Emma we decided to trek out to one more:) These two girls are TIGHT! They have there own secret language and when they play together they are in there own little world. It's nice actually!


This pumpkin patch had a ton of things to do. We started by posing for some pics with a few of the characters..


Then off to the bounce house..which was crowded and CRAZY!


There was plenty of playground equipment to climb on.





After that we went to look at some pumpkins. It was really windy and dusty and the girls were just not interested in posing for a pic.




It was a fun time with our friends and I can say for sure I am DONE with pumpkin patches for the season:))
