Baby Sprinkle, Tea Party & Brad's 30th B-day Suprise Party!!!


A couple of weekends ago my sweet friend Michelle organized a baby sprinkle for me at my favorite restaurant, B.J.'s. and my sister helped with making the invitations and ordered my favorite cake! Thank you girls for making this day so special! I think this is the second picture I have of Michelle & I, we're always taking pictures of our sweet girls! Michelle and her sweet hubby made these delicious cake balls for the sprinkle, they were

DE-LICIOUS!!!
Michelle also made this adorable diaper cake

and party favors =)
Yummy cake from the best place ever....The Cake Stand!
This is an adorable little bib my mother-in-law had made that also had a matching wipe holder and burp cloth.
Michelle made the most ADORABLE Big Sis dress and little bro onesie for me! I am so excited for Rylee & Eli to wear these!!!


Brad had gone in our storage closet in the garage to get Ry's swing and found that some mice had a nice little meal and pooping party out of it =( By the time we ordered additional replacement parts and paid for shipping, we could have bought a new one...so that's what we did. Ry enjoyed helping Daddy put it together.

I watched E, Berk & Patton the other day while my sister ran an errand. Patton looks like he's playing a guitar here....

Sweet cousins, Berk didn't want to join in the picture =(

I snuck one anyway =)



Chrissy watched Ry last week while I went to the doctor. She got the sweetest pictures of Ry & Berk dressed up and having a tea party. Ry has not been one to want to dress up, but Berk never gave up, she knew she would come around one day! I absolutely LOVE these!!!

Ry is still not a fan of the shoes with a heel, so Berk lets it slide with slippers ;) At one point Ry's slipper came off and Berk helped her put it back on, so sweet!

dancing Saturday was Brad's 30th surprise birthday party that I have had planned for a couple of months. I couldn't have pulled it off without Brad's parents, who helped with getting us out of the house for the day, my sister and brother in law for picking up the cake, waiting for the slide to be dropped off, decorating and having everything ready, and my parents who got to the house to let everyone in!



I couldn't tell you the number of times I almost let it slip, and the lack of sleep and stress of everything coming together was very overwhelming, but everything worked out and I am so happy and thankful!

Brad's parents invited us over for the day to celebrate Brad's bday since they will be in Canton on his real bday, Sept. 3rd (perfect cover story). Luckily we went out to eat on the way home, so we all had reason to freshen up!

Brad's parents surprised Brad with his grandfather's ring he got when he graduated high school and wore for 70 years, never taking it off! Brad does not wear gold, so his parents had the ring redone in white gold and were able to keep the top of the ring with the diamonds exactly the same....so cool! Brad was more than excited!
Maw got Ry a water coloring book that she LOVED! She painted the entire book while we were there! I am going to have to stock up on these for when Eli is here!


Ry giving Poppie snugglesHe was so surprised! When we walked in and saw everyone he hid behind the wall to gain his composure.


The kiddos enjoyed the water slide I think more than Brad and his friends, but that is ok =)


Sweet Addie had a blast and she was a trooper climbing up the huge slide and sliding down!

E and Berk, LOVE them!

Ry is so funny, she hates to have wet grass on her feet and was freaking out when she had to walk around to climb up the slide. It got pretty old having to carry her each time to get on, so I went and got her keens to wear. I'm so smart =)












The parents =)


I guess it was a good wish, he got all 30 candles in one blow! LOVE this one

Thank you to everyone who came and helped celebrate Brad's 30th birthday party! He was so surprised and had so much fun!!!
