Alysa's 3rd Birthday--Fun at Build a Bear!

We took Alysa and Brenden to Build a Bear for Alysa's Birthday! They had so much fun picking out an animal and the clothes! Alysa chose a pink kitty with a pink sequin dress, collar and rhinestone sandals. Yes, she is our little princess...how sweet your are!!! Brenden chose a teddy bear dressed in Cleveland Cavaliers uniform with high tops. They have so much fun together!! They really liked using the computer there to make a birth certificate and name their new friends.
What fun it is to be three!!

Brenden's 5th Birthday Party!!

We had his party at Sports of all Sorts with family and friends. We played basketball, arcarde games and the kids loved the tube playground. The kids went non-stop. Alysa went to sleep in the early evening after the party and slept through the nite. Brenden had a wonderful time and wants to have his next party at the same place. Grandma Merkel made the Power Ranger cake. Here are some fun pics of the event.

Personalized "Catalog Card"

This is a fun creation that I learned at CI http://creatinginspirations.com/index.asp today. What a fun way to add a cute card to your scrapping, card or blog designing. Create your own card here: http://www.blyberg.net/card-generator/ . How cool is this!!!!!!! OK, I had to make one for the mac daddy..LOL!

Altered Purse Photo Book

I used red, cream & black Foofala papers and ribbons; cardstock, cricut, Heidi Swapp stamp, MM flower and jewels, Art Warehouse stamps, BE purse and scrapbook.

Bathtub Fun!!

Brenden and Alysa have the most fun taking a bubble bath. Alysa brought Polly pocket and a dinosaur into the tub tonight. Brenden brought in some s--t---r--e--t--c---h--y lizards. Alysa tries to pour water on Brenden's head and back with a cup....he says "Alysa..stop!" SHE CONTINUES AS IF SHE NEVER HEARD HIM> THEN GIGGLES. Eventually, Brenden will join in and we are all getting splashed...so much fun to hear them laugh. Tomorrow will be having Brenden's Birthday party at Sports of All Sports.

Brenden's Birthday Party at School!!

Today I worked a half day. After work, I went the kid's school and took cupcakes, juice and giftbags for Brenden's birthday!! His class is 4-5 year olds. Alysa got to come in for the party.
All the girls were so eager to help pass the goodies out. Brenden seemed a little embarassed when we all sang happy birthday....his teacher allows them to stand on their chair with her hugging him during the song. Very adorable.
The favorite thing was the sucker rings...kids really liked those.
Brenden was also excited that I was able to get there earlier than normal...so then we went home after the party. Alysa pretty much stuck by my side, carrying her treat bag.
I can't believe The B Man in five!!!
