Tea and Games

We went to the sweetest birthday party this past weekend for a little sweetie who is turning 5!
{You may remember the backyard from her brothers construction zone party back in October!}

So the story is that the birthday girl wanted to have a tea party and she wanted to play carnival games ... What came to life was magical!

And then when every little boy had a bow tie to put on ... it was just too much!

Bye-bye Red Car!

The Acura is officially sold and gone! We're sad to see it go but still oh so glad to have our new van!

Bennett wanted to take a picture with "his car" before it left and then waved to it the whole time he watched it drive away!


PS ... When I went to link the post from when we got the Acura - I realized that I posted that blog on 5-7-10 and today is 5-7-12 ... WEIRD!

New Van!

That's right! We just got back from picking up our new (to us) Honda Odyssey! We are totally stocked!

We took off right after showing the Acura to a really sweet girl and her mom (they called while we were driving and said they would take it! Yay!) We stopped for In-n-Out in Hemet and made it to the van about 8'ish!

Bennett got to ride home with me in the new van! So fun!

Play Day!

We had such a nice day having friends over to play today! It turned out to be a great group who came to play today! I really hope everyone had as nice of an afternoon as I did because i really enjoyed myself!

Bennett made a new friend whom he had a lovely conversation with while on the tire swing! It was very sweet! They also quickly bonded over a common love for our next door neighbor! That girl can sure crack a little boy up with her silly dances!

Blog-a-day May?!

So I haven't blogged in a while and I thought about abandoning it entirely for a while there but after talking to Adam today I'm going to start up again and see how it goes. I'm going to try to post a blog every day this month because last month I let my husband talk me into iphones with part of our tax return so now i have the "blogger" app and figured i should try using it ... Anyways here goes nothing ... Where do i begin?! How about today ... I'll start there:

Bennett got to dress up like "Darth Mater" today and was breathing like him ... It was pretty awesome! John-Paul has a new cute "raspberry" blowing skill (however I don't think i can post a video from this app) and I got to hang out with two great ladies and their kids today. It really was a very peaceful day which was much appreciated!

Bennett's 3rd Birthday {Part 2}

Part two of celebrating Bennett's 3rd year was on his actual birthday ... the 22nd of February.

We had quite the day!

Once Bennett decided on what he wanted for lunch {Hambergers, french fries and ketchup - his words, not mine} we were off to In-n-Out and then to Adam's work so eat lunch with Daddy!

After lunch John-Paul fell asleep on the way home so Bennett and I had some alone time for building trains and watching Chuggington before it was nap time.

For dinner Bennett picked his favorite foods - Salad, Ice cream and blueberries {No joke, he would eat salad at every meal if we let him!} so we prepared a salad bar complete with everything one would need for either a cobb or a chinese chicken salad ... it seemed to be a big hit will all the party attendees!
 

After dinner was presents ... the best part of any birthday party of course!
Here he is with the "inside" presents!

Once the inside presents were done we all had to take a trip down stairs for the last two gifts of wonder! It was absolute 3 year old wonderland ... a sand box and bike!

While dessert was being served Bennett got in some good play time with his new toys ...
{Yes, the above picture is Darth Vader and  Luke Skywalker hugging ... Bennett has learned from Adam that they are father and son, thus they must hug each other - right?! Right!}
the droids were put in charge of driving the pirate ship
Happy Birthday was sung only once this year and a good time was had by all ... especially Mr. Happy himself, John-Paul!


We remembered to take pictures of Bennett with most of his guests for the evening ... but sadly not all of them! 

If you can believe it, there really is one more celebration ... stay tuned for part 3
{If you missed part 1 make sure to check it out!}
