Jake's 1st Birthday

A few months ago, Samantha told me that Jake really wanted a Robot birthday party.  Funny...since he can't talk, but she was absolutely sure of it.

So, that's what we did....and it turned out so cute!

 Here are some of the robot snacks and decorations. 

They turned out pretty cute if I do say so myself.

 Goodie Bags!

 Robbie the Robot!

We had so much fun with this little Robot photo booth.

 "I'd love to stay and chat, but I really moustache."

 This is all that Alison really wanted to eat.  Cheetos!

 Cake!  Fire!  Awesome!

 "Um yeah...I'm digg'n this whole cake thing."

 "Don't be look'n at me like that!  You'd be grubb'n too. 

 It's so good!"

"Love'n it Mom!!!"

 "Gotta get every bit off the plate!  Give me more!!"

I tried to make it like a green/blue marble effect.

  Samantha and Alison gave him some Wheelies cars

and made cute robot cards for him.

 He was very excited about his birthday present!

 Can you tell?

 "Come on Dad!  Hurry up and put it together."

 Me and my handsome little man.

I just love this guy so very much!

 Aunt Jamie and Jakey.

 Playing with his new toy.

Robot Jakey!

 Heck yeah!

 My SIL Jamie and MIL Karen.

 "It's my party and I'll cry if I want to!"

Okay, he was a little tired.

 I couldn't help it....just had to.

Okay, I'm a dork.



Happy Birthday Alison!

Happy Birthday Alison!

I can't believe my little girl is 3 now!

She's such a joy in my life! 

For her birthday we opened presents then went over to Chuck E Cheese for pizza, games, and cupcakes.

She had so much fun!

Grandma Dearman gave her a bag full of princess stuff.

Can't go wrong with princess stuff for Alison.

 Samantha gave her this Toy Story Magna Doodle.

 Sam also gave her this ice cream cone shaped sidewalk chalk.  She did extra chores and earned a dollar so that she could buy this for her at the Dollar Store.

 Aunt Jamie & Princess Alison

 Jamie gave her this super cute skirt. 

Ali LOVES it!

Sam convinced Alison to ride on this truck ride, but as you can see, she DID NOT like it!

 Sam had tons of fun playing all the games with her tokens!

 This bus was Alison's favorite! 

She rode it over and over and over again.

 The girls also really liked the little carousel.

She liked pretending to drive! 

Notice how there's nobody in the background?  We went when I knew it wouldn't be busy because Alison gets a little bit afraid and apprehensive in crowds.  Plus, it's just easier for me.

 I love the little games that produce a picture!  So fun!

 Jamie and Jake playing a game and earning some tickets!

 Aunt Jamie and Jake

She didn't actually play the game, but had just as

much fun pretending.

 The girls got to sing and dance with Chuck E!

 Alison was so happy and excited to get three cupcakes! 

 She blew out the candles all by herself! 

Happy Birthday Alison!



Happy Birthday to Me

The girls picked me some birthday flowers.

I loved it!

 We went to Baskin Robbins to try one of their 31 Flavors....

cuz ya know....I'm 31 now.

 Jason was gone all day, so Jamie came over and hung out with me.

Thanks Jamie! I had a blast!

 Poor Jakey got no ice cream.

 Then we went to the mall.  The girls love the Disney store.

Funny story:  Before Sam went to Disneyland for the first time, she used to think (when she was 3) that this place was Disneyland.

When we got home....Jason was home!  He had picked up some cupcakes and hung a Happy Birthday sign. 

Here's a few pictures of the kids enjoying the cupcakes!

Here's the gift from my mother-in-law......

.....an UDDERLY COOL COW MUG!  Haha!  I love it!!

I suppose I am in this stage of my life. 

JASON BOUGHT ME A KINDLE!!!!!!!!

I love it and can't wait to use it!

Jamie stuck around and watched all the kids so that Jason and I could go out for dinner together. 

Thanks Jamie!  You Rock!
