SESAME STREET BIRTHDAY BASH

way way too many pics to post but, here's a quick selection of a few :)

we had a sesame street party for albo since she sleeps, eats, breathes sesame street. been working on this party for months so i would be extra special for my baby :) with the help of my cousin maranda i made most of her party decorations! took a lot of late nights and a lot of time, but well worth it!

we invited our "murfreesboro family" over to help us celebrate!

great turn out!

aubree thoroughly enjoyed herself and all her guests!

thankful to have all our friends close to us!

my o my, my baby is so grown up

very very hard to believe that it has been 3 years since my baby was born. man, how time surely flies ;(

seems like yesterday we were packing to go to the hospital to have her and bring her home.

what a blessing and a pure joy it has been to have been given this miracle. she has brought so much happiness to bryan and my lives.

happy 3rd birthday aubree!!

you are the light of mommy and daddys life!!

we love you very much..

yup!!

WOW! what an amazing vacation!! we had a really really good time.

we done so many adventurous things! swim with dolphins, zip~line through the jungle, climb dunns river falls!

it was unbelievable :D

these are only a few of the pics that we took. very hard to narrow down between a thousand pics ;-/

we got to share this experience with one of my closest friends and her hubby, katie and doug :) we are talking about where we are going to go next year together!

thank you mom and poppy for keeping albo for us so we could go :)

swimming with the dolphins

this was an experience of a life time!! i was very hesitant because

im not a strong swimmer but im so glad we done this.

its not everyday you get to be swept away or kissed by a dolphin!!

probably at the top of bryan and my list of our favorite part about jamaica. they were so sweet and trained so well.

need a lift??!!

u too?? ok!!

they feel just like you would imagine they would. like hard slim and rubber!

everybody wave hello to the ladies!!

pucker up for a big ole' wet one!!

sweet kisses from the girls!

ranna! paint with me!!

my cousin came down and spent labor day weekend with us :)

with her she brought a mess in a jar!!

she is quit the lil' crafter, like her big cousin ;)

she found recipes to make finger paint and bath tub paint!!!

so, of course she felt the need to make this for albo as you can see...

aubree absolutely loved it!!!

she thought it was the greatest thing ever.

i haven't been brave enough to let her play in paint but what the heck!

i had someone else here to clean up the mess ;)

i did what you just did when you seen these pictures!

a big gasp and said oh my goodness!! does that wipe off???!!!

thankfully this home made bath paint is made of soap and wipes right off. shew!!

they both had a good time. aubree making the mess and maranda watching her enjoy what she had worked hard on for her :)
