Field Day 2011

Evan had field day at his school last week. They had different little games set up all over the playground, face painting, temporary tattoos and a concession stand. He had a blast!

I love dance recitals! This year was so much fun with Lillie. First of all, I decided to change studios and it was the best decision for her. She has loved it this year. She has looked forward to going every week which made me so happy! Her recital this year was at Robinson Center Music Hall. Lillie thought she was hot stuff getting ready in the dressing rooms backstage and getting to wear lots of make-up! Her tap dance was called Bikini Bottom and her ballet was Angel of Mine. Loved both of her costumes! This girl loves the stage and everytime she finished a dance all she wanted to know was when she got to go back up and dance again! Her teacher Mrs. Brooke has asked her to be apart of the BAM! Dance Company, which is the competative dance team. So this fall she will start taking an extra night a week to get ready for competitions!

Mr. and Mrs. Lott

Easter weekend my brother Drew got married!!! We are so excited to have Britton join our family! I must say that Evan and Lillie adore her!!!!! They had a private ceremony in her Aunt's backyard. It was just parent's, grandparents, sibling's and niece's and nephew's and then they had a huge reception at Pavilion in the Park. There was lots of yummy food, two amazing cakes and lots of amazing details. Here are just a few of my favorite details from the reception. They had a table set up for favors with their favorite things. They had candles, jelly beans, cigars and a few more things that were things they loved. They both are big hot tea drinkers so at one end they had a hot tea and coffee bar. On the other end there was a bar set up with a sign that said "Drew's Brew" were they served all of my brother's favorite beers. At Britton's showers she had pieces of paper that the guest could write notes to her and Drew. Her florist made paper cranes and then they hung them above the dance floor. My favorite was their band! They were so fun. At the beginning of the reception they all started out on tuxedo's like any normal wedding band would. They played for a bit then took a quick break and when they came back they were decked out in mullet wigs and funky clothes! It was so funny and a shocker to all the guest.

Lillie's Valentine's Party

For Lillie's Valentine's day party we had an ice cream sundae party. The kids always get tons of goodies at their parties. I made the valentine boxes for the kids. They were a lot of fun to make. I used oatmeal containers and then decoupaged them with Valentine paper. The kids are so fun to watch digging into all of their cards and goodies. I think they were all on an overload of sugar after all the ice cream and candy they had that morning!

Evan's Valentine's Party

Sadly these are the only two pics I have from Evan's party. I guess when they get to grade school the parties become small and simple. Instead of doing Valentine bags or boxes they made Valentine books. This was such a neat idea because all of the cards from his classmates are glued to their own little page in his book. But his party was simple, just ice cream cookies and chips to eat and then everyone played and looked at their cards from their friends, then it was over! Short and sweet!

Evan's 6th Birthday-Super Mario Style!

Sweet Friends!

My sweet little 6 year old!

Mushroom cupcakes

Cupcake Stand!

Back in February my sweet little boy turned 6! We celebrated with a Super Mario Brothers party at the movies. This was such a fun party to plan. For some reason Evan always picks a theme that is off the wall! So I searched the internet for ideas for his party. I stumbled on a website called coolpartyblog.com. This is where I got the idea for the Yoshi goody bags. I made the little cupcake stand and my wonderful mom made all the cupcakes! I found a few other Mario goodies for the goody bags and my mom found the stick on mustaches for all the kids to wear. So cute! We went to see Gnomeo and Juliet in 3D and we did cake and presents in the party room before the movie started. I think that birthday boy had a blast with all of his friends!
