Brought To You By The Number 2 & The Letter H

Henry turned 2 last week and we celebrated with all his friends on Sesame Street. I bought these fun cupcakes at a local grocery store to take to his school on his birthday.

He was so excited to see them. He dove right in and took Big Bird's head off. His friends were yelling "Elmo".
It was a fun mess and everyone had fun celebrating with our Birthday boy at school.

The day after his birthday we had his party. I worked on it for a few months. I love party planning. I may not be a polished pro, but I enjoy it and that is what matters. I love that Henry is covering up his 2 on his shirt. I purchased a Sesame Street shirt so I would also be in theme. Randall declined to participate.

His party was a Sesame Street party, of course. We had it at our church in the old fellowship hall and rented a toddler bounce house. It was loads of fun.

Since "monker" and Elmo are his favorite characters on Sesame Street I made only their faces on the cupcakes. They were fun and messy to make. The children loved them.

This is how you got to Henry Street. I loved the idea of footprints of "Monker", Big Bird and Elmo. I made the balloon wreath and will use it for years to come. It is much cuter in person.

The cookies tasted as fantastic and they look. Amy from Fort Smith made them for us again this year. She is precious and a saint to mail them to us again. They were a crowd pleaser.

I used my Cricut to make the goodie bags. They had all the things Elmo and "monker" like in them...and a little play dough because a party bag is not complete without it.

Henry's gift table was full of blessings as you can see. I decorated with tissue paper pom poms in a few places. Some even had Elmo and "Monker" faces on them.

hand painted 2's and H's were everywhere and the party hats were handmade again this year. I love crafting and planning for my sweet boy!

The party table for Henry and his little friends was festive and fun. They loved their horns but did not want to wear their hats. I didn't figure they would, they just look cute on the table and that is why I made them!

Our little buddy was so excited to have his bounce house and all his best friends with him. He had so much fun.

His Daddy and I are blessed to have a healthy, happy baby boy to celebrate. He is our best blessing ever.

The bounce house was great fun. It was designed for toddlers and not your normal moon bounce you see at most parties. They adored it and we all enjoyed watching them have a fun time.

Henry and his best girl loved the slide. The giggled and giggled.

Randall was the bounce house man. He stayed in and took care of all the children. Little Addy loved the mushroom. I loved this picture.

All kinds of activity when you have a room full of toddlers. It was so enjoyable to watch them run and giggle. We have such sweet people in our lives to celebrate Henry with us.

Present opening was a fun and interesting time with a bunch of 2 year olds. I got a kick out of observing them with the gifts.

It was time to eat cupcakes and Henry had latched on to the car Piper got him and wanted nothing but that car. That boy is a spoiled mess!

Don't you just love our little Barrett in the middle of my friend Stacy's girls?! His grin is precious.

They had lots of fun eating and making a mess. We had fun watching them as you can tell!

Watch out! I thought a pinata was a good idea. I soon realized it was a crazy idea and I had to break it for the babies. They all took a turn hitting it and it was hilarious. I took photos of each of them taking a turn but decided this post was already too long....so I refrained. I love Steve moving Noah out of the way and Randall and Henry's expressions. I also love Randa, Carma Jean and Lisa's faces. It was violent trying to get that thing to break! There are several photos of me in the process of breaking it and those tooo are priceless but there is no need to post them here!


Candy!I bought a cheap candy mix at the store for the Pinata. Little did I know it was full of jaw breakers....nice! I got harassed big time.

This sweet thing went home with me for the afternoon. She and her mama came from Little Rock to celebrate with us. She, her mama, my Daddy, Connie, Babs, Uncle Joe, Nana and Papa came to our house to visit. We loved every minute of it.

Being 2 and being Henry is hard sometimes, but when you are as cute as he is, it can be overlooked!

The partying continued that evening with Barrett's 2nd birthday bash. He is Henry's best friend at church. We love him. He and Henry are polar opposites personality wise. It is so funny to watch them. He had a barn party and of course Henry had to dress in theme!

We partied hard and brought in the Big 2 with lots of smiles. Now on to thinking about next year's....nah, I will wait a bit! :)

A Blind Date & Leaving Comments

8 years ago today I met this sweet man in the picture above. We met on a blind date in the Bluff City (aka- Memfrica). He and I were simply going out to shut up his stepmother and my sister, who had decided that we were meant to be together from one simple fridge photo and a dog named Abby. Little did we know they would be able to pat themselves on the back for the rest of their lives . I am so glad we both agreed to go out for that one date on New Years Eve 2001 because I have had him in my life everyday since that crazy night at my cousin Hollye's back door when he arrived to pick me up to find a baby on my hip that he thought was mine. I remember those beautiful blue eyes and how they about popped out of his head as he stood at the door wondering why no one had mentioned my child. That baby on my hip was Claire. She was 1 then and had just gone number 2 in her diaper right before he rang the bell. She had Styrofoam all over her and me from playing in Christmas boxes. Needless t

All Aboard The Birthday Polar Express

  Can you believe Henry Patton will be 4 years old tomorrow?! Neither can we. We celebrated his birthday last weekend with his first all boy party, polar express style. I had so much fun preparing for it, as you can probably tell! My mother who is never at a loss for words said it looked like Polar Express threw up in my house. She was SO right and we loved it! We had a breakfast pajama party with 7 three and four year old boys. It was such a fun time.   I had his pajamas monogrammed with a train and his name. He loved them and I liked how they sort of looked like the ones on the movie. Henry loved all the bells I had everywhere. There is no doubt we believe at this house. We had the jingle loud and proud!   I had his invitation made from a shop on Etsy and I was very pleased with them. One of his little friends came to the door ready for me to punch his ticket. It was so cute. I ran to get a hole punch and punched it for him. Every good party has to have go

Pedicure Pledge

Just a friendly reminder, it's that time of the year again. Please raise your big toes and repeat after me: As a member of the Sandal Sisterhood, I pledge to follow The Rules when I wear sandals and other open-toe shoes: I promise to always wear sandals that fit. My toes will not hang over and touch the ground, nor will my heels spill over the backs. And the sides and tops of my feet will not pudge out between the straps. I will go polish-free or vow to keep the polish fresh, intact and chip-free. I will not cheat and just touch up my big toe. I will sand down any mounds of skin before they turn hard and yellow. I will shave the hairs off my big toe. I won't wear pantyhose even if my misinformed girlfriend, coworker, mother, sister tells me the toe seam really will stay under my toes if I tuck it there. If a strap breaks, I won't duct-tape, pin, glue or tuck it back in to place hoping it will stay put. I will get my shoe fixed or toss it. No matter how much it hurts. I will
