Garland Party & Golf - 213/365

Today Reagan and I were heading to a birthday party. 

Amy invited us to Nate and Carina's fifth birthday party. I can't believe they are five. Time sure is flying. 

They were having a circus themed party. Amy planned little carnival games and they rented a snow cone and cotton candy machine. The kids were loving it! They had such a blast.

Reagan was a bit shy at first, but warmed up after her sugar rush set in.
When it was time to eat, Reagan was thrilled because they were having her new favorite foods, hot dogs. She's loving them! 

We had a really nice afternoon at the party. 

While we were at the party Jim was off to play golf with the guys. 

They went out to Tamer Wind to play today! The weather was good for a change and they all hit the ball pretty well. They had a nice time.

Garland Cookout - 164/365

Today, we stopped to do our check in for the Color Run tomorrow. 

Wow, the amount of people was crazy! We got checked in and got our little bags full of goodies in no time though. They had it down to a science.  It was quite peppy in there, they had music pumping and everyone was so happy. It should be a really fun time tomorrow! We can't wait! 

This evening, Mike and Amy invited us over for a little cookout! They had quite the spread, too! They made burgers, hot dogs and wings. Jim and I brought pasta and potato salad and a ho ho cake from Classic Bakery. Yum! They all sat real nice and ate dinner together at the kids table. It was so cute. We had a great time chit chatting and the kids had a blast running around the yard together. It was so sweet of them to invite us over! 

The first photo is of the kids playing.

Goldfish Party! - 46/365

Today was Reagan's Goldfish party! She was super excited! 

 Nana, Pam, Ray and Jenny went out around 8am to start setting up! Papa was on pop and cake pick up and Jim hung out with Reagan at home until it was time. He even gave her a little manicure because mommy ran out of time! What a great daddy! 

We worked so hard to get everything ready. Jenny, Pam and I, even had to watch a YouTube video to learn how to do the chair ties. LOL! It was so funny! We just kept watching this British woman over and over, but it finally clicked! We got everything all set and it looked awesome! I was so happy with how it came out and couldn't have done it without all the helpers! 

People started arriving right on time and Reagan greeted everyone. She had such a great time playing with all the kids! We had little magnetic fishing, corn hole fish toss, play-doh, crafts, balls, hula hoops. Even a sandbox to dig for hidden goldfish! The highlight was my old wagon from when I was a kid, that Uncle Ed turned into a boat for them to ride around in! It was a hoot! It was a boat on one side and had a huge goldfish on the other! It was AWESOME! He worked so hard on it and it was perfect! Andrew and Alex gave all the smaller kids rides around the hall. They loved it!

 After the party, the tear down went pretty quick. Then, Nana, Pam, Ed and I went over to BW3 at the mall to have a few beverages. We had a blast and just laughed the whole time. We think and hope that everyone had a great time at the party! We still can't believe our little one is three!  

The photo of the day is Reagan ready for her party!

Next, all three of us at the party...

Finally, all the kids. (Baby Mike, Baby Milana and Parker did not participate in picture time.)
