The Best part about kids.... Reliving your Childhood!!





To those of you who knew me while I was growing up I was the QUEEN of Bounce Houses!! My mom rented them for my birthday parties when I was little, but it didn't stop there! I rented one for dances in High School and my 18th and 19th Birthday parties!! I think I was refusing to grow up!! I can honestly say that they were way more fun in High School!!

So when Grandma Sheryl gave Marcus his very own bounce house for his 3rd birthday it was CLASSIC!! We have been setting up on the front lawn this summer and letting the neighbor kids play in it! It has been so fun! Last night we set up just for Marcus and Cambry and I couldn't resist climbing in!! It has a weight limit of 350 lbs. so I figured it was safe! Instantly the fun times I had playing them came back!! Some of the best moments of being a parent are doing the fun things you did, with your kids!!

THANK YOU to Grandma Sheryl for the Bounce house and for allowing your 19 year old daughter rent an inflatable lion for her birthday!!

If any of you friends who knew me in high school have any pictures of the bounce house parties, please send them!!

Happy 3rd Birthday Marcus!!





I can't Believe its been 3 years!! But my little boy turned 3 on July 18th! We had a Lightning McQueen birthday party for him with all of the neighbor kids! They swam and played water games in the back yard and the our neighbors The Clark's brought Snow Cones!! The funniest part was when I tried to get 8 three & four year olds to Finger paint. They had big papers out on the patio and it was going good until a SLIGHT breeze came up--- You would of thought that a hurricane came through instantly- 8 screams of terror because the wind was blowing there papers! I was all by myself trying to tape the papers down and calm the children! It was great!! I just had to spray the patio off for an hour to get all the paint off! Thank goodness for Crayola WASHABLES!! Happy Birthday Marcus! It is fun to watch you grow up!!
