Jump Zone Birthday Party

Reed has been to several birthday parties at Jump Zone and he loves this place! This party was for Reed's friend Easton from church. Unfortunately, I didn't get to many pictures because I was by myself with Reed and Graham.

Reed sliding face first of course!

Reed and Deacon had tons of fun together, like always! This is Deacon sliding and Reed waiting his turn up top! We moved to the party room and Deacon was showing off his famous silly face! Cars Cake! The birthday boy, Easton! He was so cute standing up front while everyone sang Happy Birthday.
Reed's favorite part.....cake time!
Present time....everyone swarmed Easton to see what he was opening!

Reed is so lucky to have so many great friends and so many fun birthday parties to go too!

Happy Birthday Evan!

Last weekend we had another birthday party to go to at Jump Zone! Can you tell kiddos this age LOVE this place? This party was for Reed's classmate, Evan

Here he is with his "Cookie Monster" cake! Can you tell how adorable it is? I forgot our camera so I was just using my phone. All of the kiddos sitting here are in Reed's class at school. There were 8 out of 10 kids in his class at the party. They had a great time together and I had a really good time visiting with the parents. Reed & Montgomery!


These two have the same birthday! Montgomery's mom and I actually met in Aqua Moms while we were pregnant and figured out we went to church together. After our babies were born we were in a church small group and found out we had delivered on the same day. Montgomery has been in Reed's class for about 6 months and they have become great friends!My little man, sporting his party hat! :)

As you can see we have been partying it up on the weekends and there are more to come! Reed is dying for his birthday to be here, has you can imagine!

Elephant Obsession!

I have heard many Mommy friends say that their child loves laying on their changing pad, but I don't think I have ever seen anything like Graham. Graham is OBSESSED with the elephant painting that hangs over the dresser where his changing pad is. As soon as we lay him down his eyes automatically lock on the elephant and the smiles and stories (talking) begin! It is the cutest thing I have ever seen!

After 5 minutes of trying to get him to look at me I was finally able to capture one of those PRECIOUS smiles that the elephant gets multiple times a day!
Who couldn't love this face?


SO HAPPY!

Just for fun I put him over in the chair, he is getting so strong sitting by himself for longer periods of time without falling over.

Even pulling away from the chair to sit up.

Big Brother came in and wanted to join in the picture fun! Graham wasn't to happy about it at first.At least one of them is smiling! My 2 baby boys, couldn't love them more! And we are back to the elephant....not kidding he is obsessed! :)

Let the Birthday Parties Begin!

Reed's class at school ranges in age from 2 1/2 to 3 1/2, what this means is everyone is turning 3 at the same time (at least it feels like that)! We have had 2 parties so far and 2 more to go that we have invitations for next weekend.

The first party was for twins in Reed's class at the Little Gym. Here is Hulse and Olivia, two of Reed's best friends. From what I understand Hulse and Reed are inseparable at school and Olivia was the first little girl I saw Reed kiss!Balancing on the balance beam!
Swinging on the bars!Reed with the birthday twins! Its so fun to see him with the kiddos he spends every day with. Getting ready to jump! All the kids lay down on the big jump pad while they blow it up. Jump time!


Next up, introduction time. All the kids sat in a circle and waited for their names to be called. Once their name was called they got to do a trick! Reed just stood in the middle and jumped, then he decided to a running flip like Hulse had done. Daddy stayed home with Graham, so Reed and I had fun, just the 2 of us. Bubbles & ball time
Reed & Olivia
Cake time! The theme was Toy Story and the cake was a rocket ship and they had alien cupcakes!
Reed LOVES cake! Funny story....all the cake got passed out and then they started passing out the cupcakes. The little girl beside Reed got a cupcake and Reed threw a fit for one. I told him he already had a piece of cake and tried to explain it was the same thing. Of course he wasn't having it, and the little girl wasn't eating the cupcake so her Mom cut it in half and gave it to Reed.
So there he sat with a big piece of cake and 1/2 a cupcake!
And he ate.....and ate....and ate....until every party guest was gone! :) I told you this kid loves cake, he was determined to eat every bite! All I could was laugh and just let him keep eating! He was SO serious and didn't care at all that he was the only one still sitting down!

My Beautiful Sister Amy

Today I am linking up with Kelly's Korner to tell the world about my beautiful sister Amy! She is as beautiful on the inside as she is on the outside!Amy and I grew up in Sheridan, AR and after graduating from High School Amy attended Ouachita Baptist University where she served as Student Body President her senior year and continues to stay involved by serving on the Young Alumni Advisory Board. Amy graduated in 2005 with a major in Mass Communications and a minor in Business. Amy went on to get her Masters in Public Health and now works at Arkansas Children's Hospital as a Motor Vehicle Project Analyst (lets just say you better always wear your seat belt with Amy)!
Amy and I were raised in a Christian home and Amy now attends Fellowship Bible Church in Little Rock where she is also part of a weekly bible study group. First and foremost God is the center of Amy's life and through her faith she knows that the Lord has a perfect plan for her life. Amy loves all things fashion and is always dressed perfectly! She also loves to read, watch movies, and is an amazing cook.
Amy is very involved with the Miss AR pageant system and serves as pageant Director for several of the local prelim pageants. Here she is with Miss AR 2011, Kristen Glover.
Amy is also the BEST Aunt in the world to my two precious little boys. They are so lucky to have her! She is always willing to help out and keep them any time we need her and always makes them feel special with the perfect gifts. She will be an amazing mother one day!
Not only is Amy and amazing sister, my best friend and someone I couldn't imagine my life without! She is also a very devoted friend and few of them also wanted to share what they love about Amy!

Amy & Brooke

Brooke wrote....Amy and I have been friends for 7 years now! We met at Ouachita Baptist when I was a freshman and she was a sophomore. We instantly clicked and were inseparable those three years! I am so blessed by her friendship. She is a woman of God with great integrity. She is funny and beautiful and silly and I could go on and on!! Seriously though she is one of the best people I know...I know you will love her too!

Amy & TK

TK wrote....Amy and I have been best friends since the 7th grade. There isn't one single memory of my life that Amy hasn't been apart of. She is my most dedicated and faithful friend. I am truly blessed to have her in my life. Amy is the most beautiful person I know. You can take one look at her and see her beauty. But the best part of her is her amazing heart. She loves the Lord and seeks to serve His kingdom with all the gifts He has blessed her with. She is fashionable, fun loving, dedicated, hard working, positive, and trustworthy. She has two precious nephews that she loves so much and has continually shown that she will be an amazing mother. Amy deserves a man that will treasure her above all else and one who isn't afraid to pursue her precious heart. She has so much to offer her future husband and would make a true help mate in His life.

Amy & Leslie

Leslie wrote....I have known Amy for almost ten years and she is such an awesome person and friend. She is smart, has a great personality and so much fun to be around. Amy's bright smile and cheerful attitude are two of her best qualities and very hard to go unnoticed. I feel so blessed for my friendship with Amy and I hope that any of you, that do not know her, will have the chance to see what a wonderful person she is.


As you can see Amy has a great life! She is very involved in her community, good job, fun friends and a great family! Now she just needs the perfect guy to enjoy life with!
