Better Late Than Never

My "baby" is now TWO! Her Birthday was June 11th, so I'm a little late with this post. :) We had a family party and I think everyone had a good time. We were also celebrating Mr. P "graduating" Kindergarten, so we had a combined party for the kids.

We grilled burgers & dogs and had lots of fun sides. I got the idea for the pinwheel cookies and the fruit kabobs from Pinterest. So fun!

We bought a cake for Mr. P that said Congratulations! I'm so proud of him for working hard this past school year. Even though there were challenges and some hard days in the mix, he learned a LOT and is ready to move on to 1st grade. :)

Kenzie usually isn't big into sweets, so we put a candle in a cookie and gave her one of those.

Of course, she barely touched her cookie and wanted cake instead, haha!

Some of Kenzie's gifts included pretty jewelry, a puppy that barks from my In-Laws, a water table, from my parents, and a beach towel. She is one blessed little girl to have so many that love her!

Mr. P also got some fun things, wow!! He was pretty excited to get GIFTS at his graduation party. Not expected!! He got an Angry Bird water bottle, activity books, a Burger King giftcard, and other fun things.

I displayed some of his school projects and the photo book from Shutterfly to show some of what he worked on in Kindergarten. :)

I can't believe I'm needing to order next year's school stuff this week. Summer has been going too fast. And it's been so HOT. Yesterday we were outside (watering the yard) and by 10:30 a.m. I was hot and ready to come in, ha! Our favorite places to be outside these days are in the water...kids playing in the sprinkler, in the inflatable pool, at the water park, or the splash pad. We've also frequented the zoo which is of course toasty until you enter an air-conditioned building-ahh...Guess we need to enjoy it now because soon enough, we'll be back to the grind.
