1 party, 2 parties, 3 parties...4!?!

Happy Birthday Bes!!

These past three years have been such an indescribable joy. We have been blessed beyond measure with our sweet little girl. Thanks be unto Him for allowing us to raise such a precious soul and choosing us to be her parents! My cup runneth over!

Party #1... was a Princess party with the Shumpert gang!

Lots of cousins to celebrate with...

and lots of fabulous gifts!

After her party, we went to see Disney Princesses on Ice with... a Grommie and aunts and cousins... oh my!

When it was over she said, "Oh Mommy, I just loved Disney World!"... sweet girl... you have NO idea! The countdown is on... only 10 more days!!

Party #2... was a Tinkerbell pajama party at Dee's house on Thanksgiving.

She got in some fun times with cousins Ella and Lydia...

and let's not forget little June!

One of her favorites of the evening... thanks Aunt Donna... looks like you hit the spot! =)

Party #3... I really wanted her to stay home from Mother's Day Out and spend her birthday with me but she wasn't having it! She was too excited to go to school and have a party with her friends.

*Thanks to Mrs. Cathy for being my photographer... boo me for leaving it on my last manual setting and the pictures turning out not so hot.

When she got home from school Daddy was waiting with her sweet new ride!

I think she liked it. =)

Party #4... believe it or not we had yet another "party" planned but after taking her for "dip"... her fav... at Mi Toro she fell asleep (and there was no way she was waking up!!) on our way to Papaw, Mimi and Parker's for her last 3rd birthday hoo-rah. So looks like we are going to be celebrating again tomorrow. =)

Rub a dub.

This picture resurfaced time and again in my younger years and was always available at a moments notice for a good laugh around our house... it even made it's way into my senior yearbook. Ultimate mortification. =)

So you can only imagine the flashback I had when I looked over
and saw this in my tub!

Just a day in the life.

Silver lining.

So far... the only thing we like about precious friends moving away...

is when they get to come for a visit.

These two are such sweet little buddies and even though they haven't seen each other in a few months they didn't skip a beat... they picked right up where they left off and had the best time.

I'm quite certain if Campbell hadn't moved away and these three

were all in the same class at school...

"Miss Caffy" would have done quit her day job. hehe.

I mean, really, they are quite the trio!

Love these kids... and their mommies. =)
