Just some girl time!!

Just some random pictures of me and the girls hanging out at home and parks!!
















































Easter

This year the Easter Bunny brought creative items!!! The girls got blank canvas and paint. Ruthy didn't hesitate to creat! Colleen is still thinking. Ruthy's masterpiece is now hanging in her room. I believe the Easter Bunny will carry on this healthy more creative traditions will possibly smaller canvas or daddy will have to create more hanging space!!
Ruthy made a new friend at my Dad's house. She fell in love with Papaw and Mamaw Beans dog Sugar. Of course she loved all the other animals too!

The girls with their Easter dresses on. Ruthy had to change hers because "I can't get it dirty on the farm!"


They love to be silly together. We were taking tons of pictures in Grandma Whitledge's backyard! So they had to throw out a pose of their own!!








Birthdays in the Whitledge house

Prepare to be bombarded with pictures!! We celebrated Daddy's birthday in February and Ruthy's birthday in April, so we have a combined blog!

Ruthy helped mommy make Daddy's cake this year! She helped break the eggs and I fished quite a few shells out of the batter! Of course she got to eat the beaters and bowl. She helped decorated Daddy's cake. She insisted on balloons.




For Ruthy's 4th birthday we rented a princess castle bouncer!!! She invited her friends from school and they had a great time. However she was sad that we had to take the bouncer back to its home at the end of the day.


Ruthy and her cousin Eliza had their own personal bounce time before the rest of th eguest came. Eliza is a little younger and still very much dependent on naps! Unfortunately nap time was also party time so she left early.

The birthday princess on top of the slide. Did you gasp for air?? She actually wanted her hair fixed and not just a headband!!

Daddy had to preinspect the castle. A big thanks to Uncle Terry who helped Daddy get the yard ready and deliver the bouncer. Uncle Terry works 3rd shift nad stayed up till around noon.

its tradition that we always make a cake -- so this is our homemade cake. And yes Ruthy helped!




Ruthy and Daddy hanging out in the bouncer after all the guest left. We played another 4 hours in the bouncer. Mommy and Daddy had very sore legs the next day!





The Tinkerbell cupcakes and yes the bakery spelled her name wrong!!!
Ruthy really enjoyed having her friends from school at the party. Getting eight 4 year olds to stand in the same area at the same time for a picture -- well it just didn't happen!! We also had a pinata that Uncle Terry filled so full with gummy snacks and candy that the kids had a hard time breaking it. Finally Ruthy's older cousin Sam who is 13 took a swing -- pinata went flying intaked! So I shook the candy out!!
