Happy Birthday Celebration to Moppy!

On, June 29th we surprised my mom aka "Moppy" for her 70th Birthday!

We pulled off a great surprise for her and I know she was just thrilled to see all of her close friends and family. I would not have been able to pull it off it wasn't for the help of my sweet Aunt Patsy! She kept me on track and organized a fantastic party:)  And of course a big thank you to my sweet and oh so helpful brother and my SIL. Oh, and let me not forget my sweet husband who cooked all of the BBQ. It was a perfect night down on the farm to have a BBQ and celebrate a very special woman to all of us!! Happy Birthday Mom we love you!!

The party was Saturday night and we drove to SC and arrived around 3pm. As soon as I got out of the car I hit the ground running in party mode. Although, I had to explain to Walker 45 times what we were doing, why we couldn't go to Moppy's house, why we couldn't call Moppy to tell her to come to the farm. I think that was the most exhausting part of the whole process....HA! 

Super cute party invitations!

Nancy and Mom

Nancy and Mom have been best friends for a really long time!

The two most important boys in Moppy's life:)

They could hardly wait until Moppy arrived!

These two had a ball running around celebrating Moppy!

Moppy and her favorite son:)

 They took many golf cart rides around the farm!

The cake was absolutely beautiful and delicious!

Aunt Patsy did a great job picking out the cake:)

He wasn't going to miss helping Moppy blow out her candles!

Look whose driving...ugh oh!

 I can't believe these grown men actually allowed a 6 and 5 year old to escort them around the farm.

My Daddy and his best bud Dennis!

Happy Happy 5th Birthday, Part II

On Monday we kicked off the birthday week celebration with a bicycle ride to the fire station. The fireman are always so unbelievably nice. Walker always asks them a thousand questions, usually the same questions over and over and they patiently answer every single one. Walker just walks right in like he owns the place. They are used to us always stopping by. It just so happened they were washing the big fire truck. So, they put him to work and he loved it!

Learning how to clean the big tires!

Then later we headed downtown for lunch on the river and then a trip to the USS North Carolina.

It was our first visit touring the battleship and Walker loved it. He had so much fun touring the inside of the big ship. He scored a super cool USS North Carolina for his bookshelf to always remember his trip. Thanks Jules!!

Yay for Jules being here for birthday week!!!

It was a super fun day together!

What a great way to kick off this special little boys birthday week!!

On Tuesday afternoon we headed down to Carolina Beach for family night on the boardwalk.

We ate at a super cute bar and then headed over to ride all the rides. It was our first trip to ride all the rides and Walker had a blast!! He didn't want to leave, but we were all so exhausted:)

I think he had the most fun on the slides:)

Riding his very first roller coaster with Daddy!

Jules was the only one that was brave enough to ride this with him.

We had just finished dinner with full bellies and this ride goes around and around super fast if you know what I mean. She made it out alive barely!!!

Having a ball..........

We finally convinced him it was time to go home, so he could get to bed and wake up for his birthday. Thanks Jules for being here and enjoying such a fun night. We will be able to look back on these pictures and remember the huge smile on Walker's face the entire night:) What a great way to celebrate turning 5 years old!!

Happy Happy 5th Birthday!!! Part I

Happy Happy 5th Birthday to our handsome big boy!!

I just can't believe he's already five. Just seems like yesterday I was holding him and rocking him to sleep. Where or where does the years go...I would do anything if I could stop in time and get back those baby days with him. He is one of the coolest, most funniest and happiest five year olds I know. This year he wanted his birthday to be at one of his favorite gymnastics gyms. I was so thrilled he wanted to have his party at the gym. Everything was so easy on this mama- I hardly could contain myself. All the kids had a ball running, jumping, climbing, swinging and etc. And one other special treat we had a special visitor that joined us all week to celebrate Walker's birthday...JULES!! Thank you Jules for being apart of our special birthday party celebration.

Flying off the rope into the foam pit!

This is the reason he wanted his party at the gym. They have this SUPER cool three seater swing that goes super high and fast. The kids had a ball as you can tell.

Playing in the foam pit.

Jumping on the trampoline with his friends!

 They had a ball running from station to station.

It was so hard to get a good picture:)

Some of his sweet buddies....

Ella Mac, Peyton, Walker and Jack

Awesome action shot:)

This is what it's all about!!

Thank you to all of his sweet buddies for coming to celebrate such a special birthday boy!!

Singing Happy Birthday to you!!!!

Make a wish sweet boy!!!

Then we headed home after the party to open presents!

Thanks to his sweet friend Peyton....we are now the proud owners of two African Dwarf Frogs. He named them Walker and Owen. They are pretty low maintenance in this little EcoAquarium only feed them twice a week. Let's see if we have better success with frogs:)
