James got decked out in some of his new Rucker duds for our day of birthday parties yesterday. This right here is classic Jamsie boy – I could just squeeze him!
Doesn’t it totally look like he’s hula dancing?!
He wasn’t. Natalie was waving to him from the window. But it totally works with the shirt, I say.
The first party of the day was for James’ girlfriend Josie. She’ll be one on Thursday!!
I missed the part about how the big kids needed to bring their swimsuits for backyard water play. This is why you will see my girls in something other than their swim dresses. Abby was so kind to loan out some suits to her friends!
Here Joanna is watering the slide before she goes down.
Did I mention it was about nine thousand degrees outside? Actually, not quite, though it did get up to 109 they tell me.
Oh man, is he just the cutest?!
James is pretty handsome too!
Josie sleeps with a classic Pooh doll, so that was the party theme! Look at the cake – amazing, huh? Amy has a cake lady she uses for the girls’ parties. This frosting job just floors me. It isn’t fondant; it’s regular ol’ icing, like tamped down or something. It was really pretty.
James was a very large fan of the goldfish crackers. :)
Josie with her cake after we all sang “Happy Birthday” to her.
Josie was a very big fan of the cake!
As were my girls. Natalie is naked because I noticed right before she started eating that she was wearing Abby’s dress up clothes. I don’t mind getting our own clothes messy, but I didn’t was to trash someone else’s!
Mmmmmm… I just love how neat my four year old eats. Sometimes when I’m kind of tired of cleaning up after James and Natalie, I remember that eventually they will eat a little more neatly. :)
Abby helped her sister open presents. I think one year olds don’t quite get it. :)
Happy Birthday Josie – we love you bunches!!
After the party, we came home, had some naps, then headed back to Atascocita for Jacob and Bella’s birthday party!
Bella just tuned four, and Jacob is about to be seven. They had a very fun party at their house, mostly in the backyard with lots of games and tons of yummy food!
Here Natalie is enjoying a hot dog. Natalie is just so fair that I encouraged her to play inside as much as I could. That, and 109 degrees is too hot for the momma.
It just did not phase the kids though! They played and played and there was lots and lots to drink for them.
Joanna taking a swing at the piñata. I peeked out the window while she was doing this, and she did a pretty good job with that stick – watch out!
Happy Birthday Jacob! Happy Birthday Bella! We sure do love you guys. Thanks for letting us come play!
