"dat not pink"

yesterday i spent some time working on a favorite hobby of mine....spray painting.  it always makes me happy.  it's amazing what a burst of color can do for your mood.  i had two wooden chairs for anna michael that were in need of a little love.  i decided to paint the booster seat green to match the dinning room and a rocker pink for her room.  when she came outside to look at her chairs she said and i quote, "dat not pink. dat my chair but it not pink.  i want pink, it my favorite."  this kid is too funny. 

t-ball

this year i am the proud mama of two t-ball players.  for this one year jack and will are teammates.  i hope in the future they will be again.  for now we will enjoy this season.  jack and my nephew ty (who plays in nc) are the same number-7.  jack thinks it's pretty cool.  will is #4 which he loves simply because he's 4!

cupcake toppers featured

my surfing cupcake toppers were a tiny part of a featured party.  i love seeing how people pull together beautiful parties.  check it out here! 

spa party

here is the party for a girly girl. 

anna michael was so kindly invited to our friend's 6th birthday party.  all of the guests were between 5-7 years old except annie.  she talked about going to the "big girl" party for days.  it was pink and perfect.  here is a little view of what my girl got to experience:

personalized hand towels for each girl.  i simply sewed a ruffle onto a washcloth- and used an iron on letter for each.

these were the favor bags from michaels.  we added non-sew flowers to fit the theme!  super simple and cute!

the girls filled their bags with these favors- flip flops, nail kits, eye masks and pink loofahs.

raygan's mama bought inexpensive flip flops from walmart.  she and i tied ribbons to the toes- that's it!  and look how sweet they look.  you could do this to all of your flops!

the "spa menu" was one of my favorite parts.  she did a great job of making the girls feel so fancy and grown up!

the party started with a quick relaxing dip in the hot tub.  here is little miss afterwards. 

you know you're at a good spot when they deliver snacks!

getting ready for the avocado/yogurt facial.

my niece kate has this relaxing spa thing down.  annie on the other hand decided she'd use this time for snacking.

pedicures.....

and manicures....

they even got their faces painted!

it was magical for anna michael to be a guest at this party.  all of the big girls were so sweet to her, especially the birthday girl.  each girl was treated to facials, manicures, pedicures and face painting.  during their "rest and relaxation" time there was a selection of fancy nancy and pinkalicious books to flip through.  it was simply adorable.   happy 6th birthday raygan!
