Dreydan's Party: Part 3

so here is where the sugar is kicking in & the children start to run around like wild animals.

solution? hand them a bat to beat the crap out of cardboard dinosaur for more sugar.

i'm the cool mom, remember?

every kid had their turn, dreydan had 2 because he was the birthday boy.

tyler finished it off & made it rain candy... he's so hot. 

pinata's are seriously the best. they add that little extra excitement to your party & the kids love them.

and they're so cute! i mean, you just can't go wrong with a mini triceratops at a dinosaur party.

and to think i almost didn't get it.... tsk, tsk.

~~~~

every party has that annoying person walking around with a camera snapping candid shots but then demanding real smiles & poses. 

here are some of those pics...

happy 3rd to my little PA-LE-ON-TOL-O-GIST.

the end.

Union Football

black shirt, khaki's & that ass tho.

he kept asking if dad was going to tackle anyone.
sorry boo, not today :((

touchdown.

aaand he's over it.

So Tyler is helping coach the Defensive Line at the local high school around hurr.
They had their first game this past Friday.
And won.

I never thought I'd be going back to HS games until my kids were playing.
But I was wrong.
As usual.

That one house in Alabama.

A couple years ago I went to Alabama to visit my sister & her new baby boy.

During one of our many Dr. Pepper runs, she took me to this house.

There was this eerie, strange feeling in the air while you walked around and

as humid as AL is in the summer, I had chills the whole time I was there.

But for it being so damn creepy, I fell in love.

The creepiest thing about it was people didn't like talking about it. You couldn't really get any history on

it because "nobody knew anything". 

Very suspicious.... and I like it.

{the picture quality is terrible. that was back when i had digital & apparently thought it was cool to have the date in the corner..}

{while we were there. look how young & little drey is! aww}

Dreydan's Party: Part 2

after everyone filled their bellies with lunch, it was time to sing & dig into that cake like a fat kid on halloween.

i debated whether i should post the "happy birthday to yooouuu" video or not.... i took it strictly to send to my mom {she's still in afghanistan}, so in a way, it was kinda special. So i decided not to. 

after we filled our bellies with peanut butter cake, we opened presents!

most of you don't care about that, so i'll make it short...

{he had the best little helpers around him haha}

{he's been asking for a bike for a couple months now... i was so happy when we got to give it to him!}

i didn't want to do this BUT, i'm turning drey's party posts into a trilogy. 

sorry not sorry...

come back for the finale, pinata & photo-ops! 

hollerrr.

Dreydan's Party: Part 1

dreydan's morning started off with a chocolate donut w/sprinkles & chocolate milk.

he watched cartoons and played while I bustled about to get everything ready to take to the park.

somehow i always forget about myself and last minute i have to hurry and get ready.

oh s**t! i'm still in my boxers with no makeup on... seriously. dumbest girl ever.

all i can say is, thank goodness for my hubby!

 we had:

3ft sub

pasta salad

grapes {dino eggs}

bugles {dino toes}

pretzels {dino bones}

veggie platter {for the "herbivores"}

assorted chips

green jello {for the kids}

and dino chicken nuggets {also for the kids}

the table actually looked really cute, but all the kids kept grabbing the grape bowls and

sneaking chicken nuggets while getting the last minute deets done, so it doesn't look very cute.

can you dig it?

and then there was thee cake. 

tyler's sister made it for him and it was exactly like i had envisioned in my brain. maybe a little cooler.

{he's trying to show off his shirt...}

check out part 2 & part 3!

My Dreydan is 3.

Um..? Should I be happy about this?

YES. I should be happy about it, but I'm not.

I fee like I say every year, where does the time go?!

But I mean it. Where the fk does it go?

Everyone always tells me "Oooh Emily you just wait! He'll be your age before you know it!"

Oh I know it alright. So the next person who says it will get a FWAP! on their forehead. And a dirty look.

That includes people who tell me to cut his hair... but that's a whole other post.

His party is today too! And as requested, it's all about dinosaurs. I can't wait to see how it turns out :))

My personal photographer, Whitney, will be in attendance and I know she'll snap some good 'uns for me.

And then I'll share with you. Circle of life, people.

Happy Birthday my sweet Dreydan!

Check out his 1st & 2nd year tributes. 

I had to wake up to an alarm today.

MEEP MEEP MEEP MEEP MEEP MEEP!

When I get home that alarm clock will be put to death... and anyone who tries to stop me.

Since I'm just sitting here at work with no make-up on, glasses, & probably

granola bar chunks in my teeth, I thought what a perfect opp. for a SELFIE! 

Hollerrr.

But before you get graced with that, I also thought I'd link up with Sara for a 

Saturday IG Recap...

{ipod, skullcandy head phones, temple run. like a boss}

{sanitizing his hands because he just HAD to}

{all mine! the fat girl inside me was SO happy}

{dinosaur museum. his fave place}
