Barnyard Birthday Bash

So this is way late and I am sure most of you have seen the other photos out there but here are ours anyway.

There was face painting (which was such a hit that there was a long line waiting), horse riding, pin the tail on the donkey, and look for the animal in the haystack game.

Then everyone came in for pizza and cake. I make the cake myself however I cannot take full credit, I got the idea of the internet. But I think it turned out great!


Once everyone was full, we worked it off a little wacking a pinata.



Now time to open presents. What chaos! If Katlynn did not thank you personally - we are doing so now, Thank you! Then a little time to play with some of the toys before everyone goes home.



That's all folks! We thank you all for coming and making Katlynn's 3rd birthday one to remember. She had a blast and we hope you all did too.

OAMC

While at my Grannie's house I always learn tons of stuff from her. The first thing I am trying since being back is OAMC (once a month cooking) but the smaller version. I made two entrees that will be 5 dinners for us. I made Spaghetti Casserole and Mexican Stuffed Shells. I have two more recipes that I am going to make up tomorrow. I am also going to try out "dump chicken". This is where you put some sort of marinade in with the chicken in a freezer bag and freeze it. When you are ready, just dump in a baking dish and cook. Sounds easy to me. I will let you guys know if anything turns out great enough to post about.

Look up....

Thank you Katlynn for your great pictures you took while at GG's. Mom finally got to participate in Two Things. ha.

Birthday FUN!

On Katlynn's actual birthday, we decided to let it be all about her.

First thing when she woke up we gave her special present, her very own desk. Now she can type dad's reports for him. ha. Then we went to Blue Bird Cafe for breakfast except they we no longer serving breakfast so we had to just do lunch instead. When we got home, she jumped on the trampoline for a very long time.

For dinner, we decided to go to IHOP and have those pancakes we were supposed to have for breakfast. Lastly a visit to Toys 'R' Us for more presents!

What a day, whew!

Early Birthday Present from GG!

Katlynn got her first birthday present in the mail on Saturday May 26. I let her open it not knowing it was not wrapped but she had a great time. She got two new books that she sat quietly and read and a new dress (that she immediately took off what she was wearing to put it on). Thank you GG!
