audrey's 3rd birthday party

Last weekend we celebrated Audrey's 3rd Birthday!! On November 21st, Audrey will turn 3 years old. She has been talking about having her birthday party at Pump It Up for the last year...seriously. We have been to so many birthday parties at Pump It Up this year, just not Audrey's. Well, last Sunday, it was Audrey's turn! She was so excited and more than ready for her "purple" birthday party at Pump It Up!!

Papa and Nani had just as much fun on the inflatables as the little ones did.

Grandpa and Grandma Love were there too!

Purple, purple, purple!! Audrey wanted everything purple, especially the cupcakes.

Singing "Happy Birthday" to our big girl! Audrey sitting in the big, inflatable, birthday chair all ready to open her presents. When she was all done opening her presents, she stood up on the chair and thanked everyone for coming to her party. What a special day for a very special little girl!!

trick-or-treat

Happy Halloween! This year for Halloween, Audrey wanted to dress up as Minnie Mouse. Minnie Mouse is Audrey's favorite Disney character from her favorite cartoon, the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. As soon as we put her in her Minnie Mouse costume, Audrey began to twirl around in circles. She had waited weeks to put her costume on, and finally the day had arrived!

Minnie Mouse

Madison actually wore Audrey's kitty-cat costume from when Audrey was almost a year old. We thought it was kind of cute that Minnie Mouse has a pet that just happens to be a black and white kitty-cat.

Audrey really enjoyed ringing each and every doorbell.

I don't think the kitty-cat even made it to one house.

pumpkins

This year we wanted to go to Cobb's Pumpkin Patch like we did last year, but on the day that we planned to go it was cold and windy. So a couple of days before Halloween, the four of us took a quick trip to The Patch to find pumpkins and enjoy some of the extra activities. Other than looking for a pumpkin, Audrey also went down two different slides and rode a choo-choo train. Overall, I think her favorite part was running around carefree for an hour.

Madison wasn't so sure...ok, she really could care less. But, Mommy just had to get a picture of Madison with the pumpkins.

Audrey and Mommy had a blast on the Super Slide. We were so proud of Audrey for trying out this "super slide". She was very brave and of course...

LOVED it!!!

What a couple of cuties!!!

Madison's pumpkin was just her size.

The next night, we decided that maybe having Audrey paint her pumpkin would be a better idea than having her carve it. No sharp knives and definitely less of a mess. Plus, Audrey loves to paint!!

Hmmmm....less of a mess? Probably not, but so much fun!! And, check out that awesome looking pumpkin. Great job, Audrey!! ; )

Kaleb's 4th birthday party

Happy Birthday to Kaleb!!! My nephew, Kaleb, turned 4 years old and we all celebrated together at Pump It Up. I can't help but smile when I see Kaleb. He is ALL boy!! Kaleb can be so strong willed, very physical, and a little naughty at times, but he has the biggest heart and is super sensitive. This little boy holds a very special place in my heart. I love him so much!! And Audrey, oh does she love her cousin Kaleb. They are buddies! Whenever the two of them see each other, they run to one another with open arms. We all love you so very much, Kaleb Lee Tatum!!
