Turning 3 & 1 Birthday party!

With the kiddos birthdays only 5 days apart it was a no brainer to combine their parties.  We had it at a local rec center with a big house house and slide.  It was Dora and Diego themed, since Jill is OBSESSED with Dora.  We had a great turn out with 12-15 kids; J and H had such a great time!  I was thrilled it all turned out so well, because I had so much fun planning it.   

The birthday kids!!

Anxious for her friends to arrive..... 

Bama and Unchie!!

Haven was attached to Unchie the entire party which was great, so Jeff and I could mingle and go down the slide with Jill.  Thanks dad! 

Jill and one of her besties Leila 

This party girl go so red-faced and hot because she never stopped running around, jumping and sliding.  She didnt stop to eat anything for lunch (unheard of with Jill) and only stopped for a couple mins to eat cake.

I LOVED Jill's cake.  Since Haven doesn't really know what's going on, we only did the cake and singing 'Happy Birthday' to Jill.  

(We did Haven's smash cake on his actual birthday at home with just family.)

She did stop playing for 5 minutes to stop and eat Strawberry cake, which is becoming a tradition at her birthdays.... I think she loves it so much because it's pink!

Of course I had to go down the slide a million times just like the kids.  It was really fun!

Even Unchie went down the slide with Jill!

Way to go Jones - laying one on the birthday girl!  So sweet!

Thank you to all our friends who came and played - it made the day so fun for Jill and Haven!

Happy Birthday!!!

Where do I even begin?!?

Seriously, where do I begin?!   I haven't done a blog post since we moved 3 months ago!  I've missed out on blogging about Easter, the move, our new neighbors (who we love!), Jillian turning 3, Haven turning 1, their birthday parties, a trip to Montana, and Haven starting his first day of school!  Geez, a lot has happened in 3 months!

First, here's a picture of Haven on his very first day of school, almost a year old.  Jill is almost 3.   I can't believe how lucky and blessed I am to be a mommy to these 2 precious ones.  They are both stinkers, don't get me wrong, but I wouldn't have them any other way!

Hopefully now I can start blogging more.  Having 2 kids now is much easier (knock on wood), since they can play together.  Most days, they play together really well.  Jill is a great big sister and loves to protect him, play with him, and love on him.  And Haven is equally as in love with his big sister.  It has been so neat to watch them develop the sibling bond.
