The Chambers Girls {{BLOGGED}}

After a night of rainfall it was lovely to see these little rays of sunshine over the weekend.

Molly and Ember, so many sweet captured sister moments are to come in the years ahead!

 

 Molly had a surprise in store to match her colorful personality!

The Goode Boys {[BLOGGED}}

I had the pleasure of spending last Sunday with these little two handsome boys! Jake turned that awesome smile on at any moment and Luke was just full of giggles and curls.

Thank you Stephanie and Joel for allowing me to share in these moments with you!

It's the little things {{BLOGGED}}

Brody, our oldest son, underwent a few surgical procedures on Friday. Since then we have had our friends and family asking how he is recovering, three days post surgery, you can see he's at his happy place! We are at our favorite Yogurt spot.

{{ yummy + all natural }}

I have two sons that are 20 months apart in age so it's a constant Mom struggle finding the balance of time with each of my polar opposite boys, so a day all about the B-Man filled me with so much joy that I only hope these captures mean that he felt the same!

Little things that made me smile today with my Brody Daniel

--> looking in my rear view mirror seeing him singing to a favorite Christan tune 'I Will Rise'

--> the running leg hugs at each stop we made {{ that are becoming more like tackles }}

--> the toothless grins

--> the excitement of purchasing a new pair of shoes a size bigger {{ he's ALL about being BIGGER... and 5! }}

--> missing his little bubba and asking for him every 20 minutes

--> sweet Nana meeting us for a quick kiss and hug and a few bites of Yogurt ;) {{ she's the BEST! }}

--> & a capture that I will treasure of my son and my husband that evening of him all tuckered out

  .... what makes my heart smile ....

COEN IS ROCKING 3! {{BLOGGED}}

10 extra hours in the day... that's all I'm asking for! So my youngest boy who has been a rocker at heart since he entered this world with a resounding tune turned three in May... yes May... finally have a moment to post his party!

Coen's Comeback Tour party was a spin off of his first year birthday which was featured on
ProjectNursery.com.

I've had many requests for a re-creation of the party so here it is! I've sold this party a few times already and will soon have products listed on my Etsy shop, if you would like to create a party around this theme sooner just shoot me a convo!

If anyone knows me they would know that it RAINS on each and everyone of my parties, it's almost comical... almost. SO this was most probably my last go around at an outdoor event and I'll have to start scoping locations that will let me do 'my thing' in their facility. The day was still perfect though, all of Coen's little buddies showed up and had a great time in the trusty waterslide for some 'Crowd Surfing' and when the gig got rained out everyone parked themselves on a towel inside for some late night munchies and hit the tattoo parlor and the rockin' favors station. One important thing to remember as us parents can get a little caught up in the details of the day is that the party is essentially FOR the kids and they make the party RIDICULOUSLY FUN regardless!!

BRODY IS THE BIG WHEEL 4! {{BLOGGED}}

My oldest son is obsessed with anything he can ride, what boy isn't! So I wanted to bring back the cool big wheels we all use to sport as a kid... you know, you could speed down a driveway and make a quick turn and glide in all directions because there was zero traction on the wheels... they haven't improved the safety too much over the years BUT you have to love and will always remember your big wheel bike so I wanted this birthday celebration to serve that same purpose by combining a carnival theme for fun!

Brody's Big Wheel party was chosen as the top 3 parties for the Month of September on

ProjectNursery.com

Four has been such a fun ride with you buddy, here are some details of the special day!

Homemade Carnival games are the best! Custom Signage by Modern Bebe Designs. Is that a mason jar in the ping pong game.. of course! And they now serve their purpose as our kitchen drink ware.

Oriental Trading Company and Hobby Lobby all have a great selection of goodies to make you carnival party awesome!

Love the photo booth... are we surprised ;)

Thank you Stacy Kahanek with Retrodition on Etsy for the adorable props!

Custom Tee ;O

Here I am sweating out the rain with the tablescapes in the living room and the carnival games in the garage... Mother Nature was nice this day and gave us some great weather just in the nick of time!

Yes sir! Big Wheel Doughnuts

 

Still having fun the morning after!
My dearest bud Leslie Austin, made the popcorn cupcakes and cookies! Yummmmm!
