Elle's 4th Birthday party

We waited a few weeks after Elle turned 4 this year to have her party b/c she wanted to have a swimming party and a party we had! It was forcasted to rain all day but lots of praying to the man upstairs left us with a hot and sunny day. We had pizza, cake, cheetos, gummi bears, cookies, and a good time.

The cake---it was pinkalicious on the inside!

Birthday poster and cookies made to look like flip flops thanks to my creative retired mom.....i say retired b/c i told her people that work don't have time for this!

Jennie Beth, Justin, Tanner, and Tucker came to stay with us for the weekend so I had a special job for JB Saturday night. We had Elle's dance rehearsal so JB did Elle's hair, make-up, and changed her outfits backstage!

Sunday was Mother's Day so we went to church and headed to Laurel for swimming and a big lunch. I got to lay out and take a nap while Josh watched Tiger Woods win a golf tournament--=perfect day! He got me a new tennis visor, tennis towel, and my fav thing, this picture frame. He went to Michael's ( a crafty place kind of like Hobby Lobby that those of you who know me would know I will not step foot in these kinds of places) He bought this frame and had each child paint a half---if you look close you can see the dotted line down the middle. They wrote their names and dated it on the back. LOVE!

YIKES....poor kitty at my mom's trying to escape
