Jasmine and Thomas............

Actually, that's Mr. Thomas........................So, we had Audrey last night while her parents were gone and I decided to take them to Alladdin Jr. being performed at our church..........So, we started at Moe's (WELCOME TO MOE'S) and then headed over for the play..........The kids kept saying "movie" so it took us a while to explain what a "play" was...................
Anyway, they were definitely thrilled to see Princess Jasmine............All they could talk about was Princess Jasmine..................until they saw Mr. Thomas...........Who is Mr. Thomas? Had you asked me yesterday, I would have said he was just some young kid that I see occasionally at their school as a floating teacher in the afternoons............Not real personable, but fine, nonetheless.........

Until Last night...........When I watched two little girls squeal with delight and wave (from the back row) DURING THE WHOLE PLAY................... And of course chat CONSTANTLY about Mr. Thomas.............And the delight when, after the play, we actually got to SEE Mr. Thomas, albeit briefly. Now, we were fortunate to have seen Ms. Becca and Ms. Sara and Ms. Jillian, too.........but no one got the grins that old Mr. Thomas got............

Guess I'm gonna need to introduce myself.............


And this is just plain cute............taken a few days ago!

Yin..........and ..............Yang

Audrey and Emme have been friends since they were little.......ok, they are still little, but I mean REALLY little....................and they really play so nice together.............And the parents get along too!!

These girls are hilarious.............One loves all things princess and the other loves all things....well, all things NON princess............ok, maybe not ALL things non princess, but ALOT of things NON princess...........like pirates and swords and baseball and such!! It's great, the yin to emme's yang!

So, of course, Audrey's 4th birthday party was at a very cool place............with a ZIP line, of all things!! And man, did my princess have fun............................

Now, just as a sidenote, these little yins and yangs went to the spa earlier for mani pedi's!! so, again, it's all about balance!!





Here's the birthday girl!!

HA, who knew she even knew how to ride a scooter!


Ying and Yang getting ready for the zip line....................


And the ball pit cushions the fall.......................

Here's Charlie and Brady laughing hysterically............whish I had gotten the giggles on video!!

Kate's mom, Kristin, is so much fun...............and one of the first ones to join in the craziness!



Great picture of Mimi (amelia)!!


They had stuff to do for all ages............Here's baby WHO having a blast!!

Here's miss sara........who has now decided to call Big Papa, B-Ray...........hilarious!

Audrey B. having some fun!!

Mmmmmmmmmmmm, cupcakes!


Birthday Girl and Mom!

Sensations Therafun did this neat board of painted handprints.............Very cool!


I love these girls..............Every............Last.................One................Of.............Them!

Old Macdonald had a farm...........................

E.I.E.I.O..................And on that farm Ashton turned 5!! And what a party he had........Thanks to his mom, of course!! We spent our Saturday evening at a Barnyard party with tractors, pigs, cows, rabbits, goats, lambs, chickens and a whole bunch of KIDS!!


And here is the welcoming committee.....Anxiously awaiting the barnyard animals to arrive!

Miss Rebecca could barely contain herself.....................

Each kid did a really neat craft using their thumb print. Here is Emme with Miss Jennifer making her "cowgirl"..........

My little farmer had no fear of the animals.........not afraid to love them, and brush them and check out ALL of their parts!!
And quickly learned that batting those baby blues could get him LOTS of rides on the pony!!

And here's the birthday boy.......How cute is he?? His cool shirt came from Petey Pie's, of course!!


It took my city girl a little while to warm up to the animals.........but she's one to LOOK before she LEAPS...................

But eventually, she decided to "touch" just a few of the animals..............



Mama? Just so you know, she must be a baby, cause her utters haven't grown yet.....

Snap it quick, while she's not looking.......................






Now this little cutie, Alf, is an alpaca..............He could be my new best friend.........You would not believe how soft his coat is............Think this one would fly with the homeowners association???



I kept this fuzzy picture in just cause it's so rare to get these two together!!


Aunt Wendi's daddy brought a really cool tractor.........perfect for pictures!!


Look, ANOTHER pony ride!!

Wait a minute............She really did TOUCH an animal!! How 'bout that!




come on!! is that not the cutest face you have EVER seen??????

Anyway, the party was a complete success, she even had a jumpy thing!! Food was fantastic and I think the party lasted into the wee hours..............I have many more pictures but have struggled getting them to download and post........ugh, will add more because her house was STUNNING and every detail done perfectly..................
