Flashlight Candy Hunt

Back in September when I was going nuts registering the kids for all their activities through the Pearland Parks and Rec I also signed them up for the Flashlight Candy Hunt that they were going to host in mid October. Well about a week and a half ago we attended our flashlight candy hunt with our BFF's the Smith Family. The kids got to wear their halloween costumes for the first time this halloween season and they were so excited!!

When we got there they had bags for the kids to decorate, some sweet treats and they played a few games before the hunt. When it was time for the hunt they separated the kids by age (luckily all 4 of the kids fell into the same grouping). Since it isn't getting dark outside as early as the event took place they put the candy in a room and turned the lights out so the kids could use their flashlights to look for the candy. In general it was a little cheesetastic but the kids had fun and that is what counts.

These little bff's even chose the same halloween costume this year. They were so funny to watch too b/c they loved that they were both dressed the same.

Hope everyone has a safe and happy halloween!!!

Samantha's 2nd Birthday Party

If you know me personally then you know how difficult it was for me to throw this birthday party (especially after last years). Between school starting up, me taking on a new gig and planning a 10 day vacation at the beginning of the month that her birthday falls in, I just did not have the time to devote to it like I did the year before. So Jump N Jungle it was! If you know Samantha then you know the child LOVES to jump so I knew she would have a great time no matter what. At the end of the day that is what truly matters anyways. :) All in all I think it was a great success and everyone in attendance had a great time. Here are a few shots from that day.

The kids all ready to go

Derrek only had to go with her a few times before she managed it on her own

Dr. Rog is the best wrestling buddy ever

Cutie Patootie Savannah (Mason's secret school crush heehee)

Little Miss Ella

Aubrey headed down the slide. She wanted nothing to do with any of teh bounce houses when she arrived and by the end of the party we had converted her. :)

Issac and his mommy Erin

Our attempts at getting a group picture. haha

After our hour and fifteen minutes of play time we headed into our party room for pizza and cake

And of course and this point in her life no birthday party would have been complete without a DORA cake

I cant believe that my baby girl is already 2 (she is definitely letting us know it too) haha. Time flies when you are having fun and we are definitely having fun with this little princess of ours.

Thanks to everyone who made it out to her party and made this day super special for her.
