Char's Birthday Bounce Party

By -

This year, Char wanted her birthday party to be at Bounce U. We went to a party there a few weeks ago, and after I saw how easy it was, we were all in. We invited our besties and some family, made some sweet snacks, and had a blast playing all afternoon.

I made this yummy white chocolate birthday popcorn (that turned out so delicious), while the girls waited for party time. They must have asked me fifty times that morning if it was time to go yet. Obviously, they were pretty excited.



We got there a little early, so Daddy got Char some fruit snacks to hold her over. She was so excited to see her grandparents as they each came in and ran to them all giggling. I don't know if I've ever seen this girl so happy.


Finally, it was time to bounce. The kiddos lined up and swam down the hallway (in mermaid Ariel style) to the bounce room.


Once we got in there, all bets were off. There were kids running in every direction, and they all had so much fun!











Us big kids even got in on the action and had a blast doing so.























After an hour of play time, we all headed to Char's birthday room for pizza and cake. She loved getting to sit in the big "Birthday Girl Chair".



Auntie Geni made her cake, which turned out so cute! (Thanks again, Auntie!!)


The kids had fun playing and eating, while the grown-ups enjoyed talking and catching up with one another.





Finally it was cake time. Char got a little shy, which I've never really seen her do before, so Chase sat with her to keep her company.


After she blew her candles out, I could tell that she was getting sleepy. This girl NEVER misses her nap. She knows how important beauty sleep can be.



She managed to chow down on her cake, which gave her a second wind.



After cake, we were ready to leave, but Charley decided she wanted to open her presents there. The other kids helped her and were so funny.










She was most excited about her Buzz and Woody PJs and instantly fell in love with them.


Afterwards, she helped them load her presents up to take to the car and checked to make sure they didn't forget anything.


We took the party back to our house for the Mayweather/Pacquiao fight, where we enjoyed lots of delicious food and the cutest birthday cake pops from The Sweet Pop Shop.



Thank you so much to everyone who came and for spoiling this little one with so many awesome presents. She had a blast playing with every single one of you and is still talking about "the best birthday party ever". We love you all and are so blessed to get to share such fun memories with you. I still cannot believe this kid is THREE!

...Char was sleeping so peacefully Monday morning that I didn't want to wake her up. ...she made me a pretty picture at school with chalk. ...she continued her obsession with the easel and colored (and watched Toy Story ) while waiting for Daddy to get home from work. Hooray for panties! ...it got cold and windy again, but we played outside anyways. Isaac played catch with the neighbor boys, while JJ flew the kite and Char strutted her stuff. ...the girls danced around the living room. There is an iTunes Radio station called 'Frozen Radio' that the girls are crazy about. They play random Disney songs, and we listen to it all.the.time. (After watching this a few times, I realized that Char was trying to sing "friend in" as in "You've Got a Friend In Me".) ...Grace put Charley to bed by tickling her face. ...the girls got cake pops. Yep, for breakfast. ...we got to school a few minute

Mommy-Daughter Night

Thursday night, Isaac went to play poker with some of Sunstate's biggest customers (and soon to be customers). Since he left around 4:30 and didn't come home until well after Grace and I were asleep, we got to have a whole mommy-daughter night! I get to spend every night with her, but having quality time with just the two of us is pretty rare. This means that nights alone with mom get to be extra special treats for both of us! When Daddy left, Grace asked "ah da da?" about one hundred times. Once she got over the fact that he was gone, we had a lot of fun. We started the night out watching Wall-E and building castles out of Mega Blocks. Then, Grace helped me unload the dishwasher while our dinner finished cooking: She's the best helper ever! We had pasta, corn, garlic bread, and cut up Beddar Cheddar brats for dinner; some of Grace's favorite things: After that it was bath time.  Once she got all clean, we played with her Dora foam soap. Grace really

Junior Ranger Day

Saturday was Junior Ranger Day at the Water Safety Center at Lake Mead.   Isaac's brother, Zacarias, was working and invited us to come down and check it out.   We're always up for anything that the girls might have fun at, so we got ready and headed down to the lake. It was right next to where my parents dock their boat, so it was pretty easy to find.   When we first got there, Grace was a little shy and skeptical about everything. It took her a while to warm up.   We found Uncle Zac by the fire truck and Grace hesitantly climbed inside with him:     She was a little afraid until I took her to the front of the trucks and showed her the lights. Then she thought it was "sooo cool!"       Charley was pretty curious and kept wanting to check everything out:       Grace saw Uncle's helmet and thought that was pretty neat. Then Daddy checked it out, too:       Since Charley was so curious, Daddy gave her a b
