Thumbody turned three!





Brandaan and my brother Brett put together this great centerpiece.  Who knew these guys had such skills?
The gift bags...
Carter used to just walk around the pool and splash everyone, but never get in.  This visit was totally different.  We couldn't get him out of the pool.  It was great!
I think my dad was so excited to have an excuse to wear his hat!
Tiffer and her new baby AnaBelle



A little tree frog found its way into the pool building.  It was great entertainment for the kids...

REESE got her own Escey! 

My dad was having such a great time he actually fell out of his chair!
Is she not the most beautiful thing you've ever seen?
Reese opening a present from Uncle Brett and Aunt Meggie.
She got four Mermaids for her birthday.  She can never have too many!
None of the girls had to fight over a Mermaid.  There was more than enough to go around.

This year REESE had a pool party at my parents house.  It couldn't have been more perfect, especially with me being pregnant.  My sister came up for a visit with her brand new baby just to help me get this party together.  I more than needed her help.  I had so much help from everyone.  Tiffer made the pulled pork sandwiches.  BRETT and MEGGIE made awesome smoothies for everyone.  Everyone pitched in and it came together perfectly.

i know SO many people who are pregnant! so i can't remember if i already told you how cool that is. i can't believe you had a boy, then girl, now boy. you're pretty lucky! and you make pretty cute kids so the more the merrier! reese is so cute and i can't believe your youngest is 3!! i love the picture of her in her car with the kids in the background, arms folded, bummed out that they can't fit in it too. hilarious. but one of them looks like her brother so he'll get to reap the benefits of that present! nice party mom...and tiffany (holy crap tiff has a baby! and she looks fabulous!)..and dad...and brett and meggie of course :)
