Tytan Turns Four

Tytan turned 4 on August 10th. I can't believe he is already so big. We started the day off right with his requested chocolate sprinkle doughnuts.

Then we headed to Chuck-E-Cheese. I am a total germaphobe and usually avoid these kinds of places at all costs, but I have to admit it was a total blast. It was super clean and not busy at all. I'm pretty sure it helped that they had a germX dispenser about every 5 feet.

At least my kids get their love of ski ball from me!

Tytan was a rockstar at the basketball shooting game

Tytan's face is priceless in this photo. Chuck E came out right as we were about to leave, but Tytan was not having any of that. So, this is about all that I was able to get.

Then, that night was had his little family party. I was going to make him a baseball cake as he requested, but when he saw this one at Sam's Club he had to have it.

McKenna, Matt and Tate gave him a bucket of baseballs. He practices his pitching everyday and then sets up the bases so that I can pitch to him and he can hit and run. I tell Lloyd that by the time we are done raising him, I will be able to play pro ball!

Next came the skateboard that Lloyd and I got him. He was in LOVE!

Papa and Grandma Mason got him a soccer net. Which came right in time for him to get ready for his first season of soccer.

We had such a fun day celebrating this special boy. Papa and Grandma Thompson as well as Aunt Christi came over to celebrate and gave him some cash to go shopping with. He is still deciding what to spend it on! Tytan has so much personality and cracks me up all the time. I am so thankful for him in my life and love that he is always making me smile :)

My not so little Project

My kids were gone for a couple of weeks in California with Grandma and Grandpa Mason (thank you). I was pretty sure that I was going to go crazy with just me and the baby, but ended up going crazy with all the projects I gave myself. The first and most fun was redoing McKenna's room for her. Tate has just been in our room with us and it was time for him to move to his own room. I didn't want to put him in the basement, so Kenna was the obvious choice. I thought that if I gave her a big girl room and made it her own little retreat her feelings wouldn't be too hurt :) So this is the finished product. Sadly, looking at these pictures doesn't even come close to showing the HOURS spent on this room. I bought the quilt but decided to make the curtains, dust ruffle, duvet cover, and pillows. I also make her a memory board and modge podged her old "DREAM" letters. The colors are a little different in these pictures then in real life. I apparently had the night mode on while taking the pics. Anyway, you get the general idea. Well, when she got home, she was so excited that she almost cried. The moment couldn't have been any sweeter!

Little tribute to Nick and Justin

I modge podged her night stand too to make it fun.

This is the bottom of the dust ruffle and the bedskirt.

The duvet cover is the polka dots and these are the pillow I made, except for the sham.

I am so happy that she loves going to bed every night and keeps thanking me for her "big girl" room. I was also able to gut the whole house and go through everything and have a yard sale. I was also able to sell her old bedding and decor for $60. YAHOO! No more clutter around for me!! HEAVEN!
