Puppy Party!

My baby boy turned 2!!! I can't believe how fast he has grown up!!! He had a great party and it was puppy dog theme. He loves animals especially dogs so he loved it! We got him a playhouse for outside and lots of other outdoor stuff. He seemed to love it all (and so did his brother:)).

We had a great turn out for the party. We had lots of fun and it turned out to be a pretty nice day outside so we could go out there and play.

We had puppy cookies,

Beef jerky,

These were the tags for the "Doggy Bags" or party favors. In the bag were Scooby snacks, bone cookie, dog bracelet, dog pop up book, and a bag of puppy chow.

I decided to do cup cakes or "Pup" cakes this year instead of a cake, they are so much easier!

I bought the cup cakes at Wal Mart and the little sticks I purchased on Etsy.

Puppy Chow! You can't stay out of this stuff!!!

The Drink Bowl

Sweet treats. My MOL made the bone cookies. They turned out so cute. She is so talented.

The table and my pregnant sister in the back ground.

Doggy balloons.

We played pin the tail on the doggy. My camera ran out of battery so I didn't get to take pics of them actually playing the game.

Papa and the boys. They love their Papa:)

Sweet little Owen. He is such a doll. This was his first party to go too.

Birthday boy!!!!!

He liked his cupcake.

Opening gifts. Briggs LOVED helping!!

Little Braxten.

We had hot dogs after the party. They are Grady's favorite and it also went with the puppy theme:)

Cousins. Grady, Elizabeth, Owen, Briggs, and Kannon

I can't believe that my little boy is 2!! Grady we love you so much! Happy Birthday big guy!!

No Training Wheels

Briggs learned how to ride a bike without training wheels!! I can't believe it either! Cody was outside with him and unbeknowndst to me took off the training wheels on his bike and told Briggs that if he learned to ride it he would get him a spider man bike. So at 4 o clock on Sunday afternoon we headed to Walmart to purchase a spider man bike:) He does so good and looks so grown up on it. He can turn it really well he just has problems stopping, but don't worry he has a horn and will definitely let you know if you are in the way!

His spider man bike is bigger then this one and he does so good on it! I am so proud of the little guy!!

Heart Day

Since it's been soooo cold up here in the Panhandle of Texas I have been having to be VERY creative with 2 little boys cooped up in the house!! We made a trip to the Dollar Tree the other day and made these cute hearts with stickers and fuzz balls and basically whatever else the boys could glue on them. I hung them on the light fixture over the dining room table.
They were very proud of their artwork and so was their Momma:)

Hope all of you have a wonderful Valentines Day today!

Gender Party

On the day we found out what our third child was going to be, my MOL and SIL threw us a gender party. It turned out so cute and the decorations were AWESOME!!! This table had some of my favorite cravings on it: starburst, skittles and sugar cookies:)

My MOL made these cookies. Aren't they adorable?

The "P" was for Pierce our girl name.

The "C" was for Crue our boy name.

I loved the feather centerpiece! There was a picture of our family of four and the baby's sono pic.

If you didn't wear pink or blue then you could wear a pink or blue ley.

Grady wanted to wear Blue!

Briggs wanted to wear blue also.

The father:)

At the end of the party we ate cupcakes that had a BLUE center to reveal our third boy!! We are so excited to welcome Crue Burton!! We had a lot of fun at the party. Thanks Leona and Kyla!

Blessed

Tomorrow is the big day! We get to take a peek at baby #3 and make sure that he or she is healthy and to hopefully tell if it is a he or she:). I am beyond blessed with my family. I have wanted nothing more in life than to be a mom. I dreamed of the day that I would have babies of my own to rock and feed and "play house" with and now I am going to have 3!!!! God surprised us with this one but I don't think our family would have been complete at just 4. I am so lucky to have Briggs and Grady and this new little one on the way. We are going to have a gender party tomorrow night so the news won't break until tomorrow evening sometime. It is going to be hard to keep it a secret! I will, however, tell you the names we have chosen.

For a boy:

Crue Burton Crue means a part of a team or a crew and that is exactly what he will be is part of a team. Burton is my dad's middle name and also my grandpa's middle name. I can't imagine how fun 3 little boys would be! I would be a very busy momma and I would love every minute of it.

For a girl:

Pierce Leyton Pierce was my great grandad's name and it means piercing or stunning. Leyton was my sister's idea and it just flowed well. I can't imagine having a girl at all! I don't know what it would be like but I definitely would like to find out! I have always wanted a daughter so that we could share the relationship that I have with my mom, but I have come to find that you can have just a relationship with a son.

I am nervous about tomorrow and excited too! Please pray that baby will be healthy and everything will be just exactly how it is supposed to be.
