F-16 Graduation

The Ike-Man FINALLY graduated from F-16 pilot training!! It's official, he's an F-16 pilot!

In front of the f-16, it was so hot and humid that we only got a couple pictures. The girls were ready for lunch and a cool place by that time.

SMOOCH...................!!

We were lucky to have Bob and Helene (Ike's parents) here for his graduation. They are a great support and we were so glad they could make it out for a couple days.

It was a long evening. Social began at 6pm...........I was in heels, high heels.............they came off real quick! Dinner began at 7:30pm~we were starving! Following dinner we had a guest speaker and the award ceremony. It was a wonderful time and were so happy for our new graduate!

Camping

We went with some of our best friends camping at Garner State Park and seriously had the greatest time. We played in the lake, had a late Easter egg hunt for fun, roasted marshmallows and made smores, but best of all I got to tell all the little kids gross ghost stories and they laughed and laughed...Great Times!!!

It was a little rainy and cold on day two, we were bummed!

All the kids playing on a tree. It entertained them for hours!!
I bought Silly String for the kids, it was hilarious watching them run around spraying people with it.

I just LOVE this little girl!
Avery was going to town on Ike's hat. Whenever she saw him she would reach out for his hat and open her mouth up really big.
Hangin around the campfire..........my favorite!!
Yummy, SMORES!!
We did them for breakfast too!

Presents and Cake

These are the traditional homemade chocolate cupcakes. I sprayed them pink and had purse candles. The girls loved them!

After opening her presents we realized that every gift was a BARBIE......so funny!!

Purse Pinata

To fit the "purse party theme", I found this cute purse pinata. It was a sucker to knock open, even I tried and failed. Isaac ended up ripping it open....haha!

I think she is tired from trying SO many times to get it open. All the kids were in the background cheering her on!

Party Time!!

We had a treasure hunt. The girls got to find a bag that had a purse, bracelet, cell phone lip gloss, sun glasses, bubbles, etc

Anxiously standing in line waiting for their turn.............. The menu for dinner was pizza, chips and strawberries with a glass of lemonade!

Madelyn turns SIX!!

My sweet baby girl had her birthday~the BIG SIX! I am so grateful she is a part of my life, it's crazy how time fly's.......I remember the day I had her and thinking what a miracle! She is such a sweet little girl. I have never known anyone with such a tender little heart. She always wants to please her mom and dad and is a loving big sister.. Madelyn is the BEST little snuggler and now she'll even read to me while we snuggle. I am in LOVE with this little princess~

Getting ready for her breakfast request of cinnamon rolls.........mmmm

The girls playing with Avery.....she LOVES them
This one got partied out a little early................

I tried to do different Easter activities with the girls this week. We made nests, it was a gooey, fun mess!
