Dad is 70!

We went on our annual dinner for Dad's birthday with his BFF Dwight.  (As I type this, Dwight passed away a couple weeks ago in March 2020-he will be missed.)

Neil and Bennett had baseball so the 3 of us went to celebrate at Bella Fresca!

We got Dad a custom made Smathers and Branson belt and he loves it!

Happy Birthday, Dad!

Dad 's oFISHal 70th birthday party!

We had a super fun 70th birthday party for Dad.  We hosted it at his house because his house has away better party lay out and it just worked.  Dad loves to fish and loves fried fish so that was our theme!

His cake was a "favorite things" cake and had all of his favorites!  fishing, AA, root beer, travel, chick o' stick, reading, horses, ice cream, tea, golf, and dogs!  Such a fun cake!

Kids table of all things fishing bait and adorable cookies

Kroger made the flower arrangements and they were perfect!

Since dad has been in the paper business for 40 years we had custom notepads and fish pens for the favors.

Thank you to everyone who came to celebrate Dad's 70th!  We had a great time!

Sweetest Lillian turns 1!

We've been so excited to celebrate Lillian's 1st birthday! This year really flew and we loved watching her grow!  We also loved watching the cousins love on each other every chance they got!  Lillian is truly Bennett, Henry, and Sarah Kathryn's favorite person!

Since Lillian is basically allergic to everything she got to have a sno-cone party because she isn't allergic to ice!  And she happened to not be allergic to watermelon at the time so she got to have a little syrup on her cone!  So much fun!

Of course, Boodle had the party looking like something out of a magazine and it was perfection!

These favors!  She had custom cups made and I did the tags

Cookies! cupcakes!  Oh my!

She had the party catered by Uptown Downtown and it was all so good.

Sweetport did the snow cones

Beloved Aunt Lindsey and Beloved Uncle Neil and Uncle Andrew

Boodle made the fab balloon decor

Happy 1st birthday!

Well loved!!!!

Back to School Friday

Whew!  Back to school is so much fun and a little bit tiring!  

We were able to celebrate Henry's 8th birthday with his class and Nerf themed cookies!

Sister got to have her first class of Art and the teacher sent me this pic!

Bennett had a back to school swim party with all the 5th graders!  What a fun event!
