Cole's Music N Motion Party!

This past Friday I had Cole a little "Mommy and Me" party! Since his actual birthday fell on Easter and Spring Break it was hard to coordinate a family and friend party so I opted for the best way I knew and boy was it GREAT! Two of Cole's favorite things are dinosaurs and music.. so we had a Dinosaur and Music N Motion party!

My decor!

 The birthday boy!

 Cole and big bro... Grant sd he was "tired of celebrating Cole's bday", but then I told him it was all of HIS friends that were coming!  He replied with "Ugh.. Cole needs his own friends" haha I couldn't help but laugh.

 The cutie to the left of Grant is Kayleigh, our sweet neighbor!  To his right is Avery, his girlfriend!

 I do believe Colin is proud of his goldfish in this picture, hahah

 Sweet Teddy Anne!

 Notice.. there are no pictures of Cole at the table.. that would be because he WHINED and cried all morning. That was... until his favorite "Ms. Holly" from school (who teaches the music n motion) showed up and then he was ALL SMILES!

 Ms. Holly was a HUGE HIT with all the kids (and the parents as well)!

 After some introductory music.. it happened... Cole's FAVORITE PART every week at music... "Doobie Duck" comes out  of his magic bag to play and sing!  Watch his face....

 Cole doing "silly lips" with Doobie.

 Getting a "Nibble" from Doobie

 And a little hug from his favorite Doobie Duck!

 This cracked me up.. the babies, Jack and Claire, were MESMERIZED during the music...

 Seriously, could they BE any cuter?

 More music fun!

 A few close ups of our friends...

 I LOVE LOVE LOVE this picture of Kayleigh... girlfriend shook it like a rockstar!  She LOVED IT!

 BEN!

 Ms. Holly's final song was "Monkey jumping on the bed" and they loved flopping the monkey on the parachute!

 oops... Kayleigh got hit in the face... but she's a trooper, she died laughing!

We had a FANTASTIC party and I can NOT thank Holly enough... she was so awesome with each and every child and made BOTH of my boys feel super special!  THANK YOU HOLLY!!!!!!!

Cole's 2nd Birthday and Easter...

Holy cow.... we have been some serious party people lately.  We celebrated Easter and Cole's 2nd bday over 4 days... the poor kid became a PRO at blowing out some candles!

1st up.. .Grandpa came on Wednesday, brought some Easter baskets and bday gifts.. and a cake that may or may not have melted in his car ah-hem....  (you cant help but laugh!!).

 This little fella was super excited about CAKE!!

 Next up... Friday Uncle Sam and Grandma came up for Pizza and Cake!

 Then on Sunday we headed to Pulaski for the big Easter egg hunt! It took probably 7 tries to get this stupid picture... oh to have my tripod... WHERE IS IT????   How does one lose a tripod????  Only me!

 Happy 2nd bday baby!

 Little Tol wore this hat and Cole would NOT take it off... he could barely see where he was going!

 All the boys got some great Easter baskets from Buddy and Grandaddy all filled with the same things.. all Cole cared about between his gifts and his baskets was the chapstick!

 He gave some to EVERYONE!

 look at his lips.. he's all puckered up

 While Buddy and Grandaddy hid the eggs Tol and Franklin entertained the boys by shooting a foam bow and arrow down the halls ... BOYS

 And they're off....

 Little Tol found the golden egg this year!

 Most everyone was happy that Tol found it...  hahahah

 He's still a little mad! I would be too because he was in the same spot as Tol!

 MORE CAKE!

Easter morning.. Cole's official bday... what wld a bday be without chocolate pancakes?

 All decked out for church!

 So if you havent watched Duck Dynasty, you need to. Its basically the only family friendly reality show there is.. No BLEEPING, no cussing and they have no issues saying they are Pro God! I LOVE IT!  Anyways.. all the dudes on the show where bandanas and have big long bushy beards and long hair... well... one of the main guys on the show, Willie, came to speak at our church, so we decided in honor of him being a guest.. we should dress the part! (NO.. we did NOT wear these at service!).

 After nap Papa G came over for our final celebration! I made ham, potato salad, pinto beans, deviled eggs, cornbread and brownies with icecream and fudge! YUUUUM!  We let the boys dye some eggs too!

 Oh look... MORE CAKE!

It was a fantastic Easter and we had a great celebration with each family!  Happy Birthday Cole! :)
