Tyson's artwork

Tyson's artwork was chosen to hang in the Katy ISD Admin building! We went after school one day to check it out! It was called line art. He says it's an elephant shrew and his name is in it! {backwards...but it's in there!}

Randomness and a Parade

Tyson was able to be in the Rice Harvest Festival Parade last Saturday. We have never been before and we had such a fun time! Just one more reason why we LOVE living in Katy!!! Ty got to ride on the Young Chefs Academy float! He got to throw candy! He had a ton of fun!!! :0)

waiting for the parade to start

We love that HEB is in Katy!!!! {whoop whoop}
this was Shawn's favorite float

Kailee's favorite

mint chocolate chip ice cream is good

Happy Birthday Tyson

I figured what better way to start the birthday post than with pictures of Ty's feet! :o) Well the reason is that Ty decided for his fun birthday celebration he wanted to get a pedicure!!! He was so thrilled to sit in that massage chair and be rubbed, scrubbed and buffed!! He LOVED it! Of course it didn't even occur to me to take my camera...so you just get to see the after toes! :) {not really sure you would have wanted to see the before toes}

Tyson's other request was that he would get to make his own birthday dinner and dessert! He has become quite the "little chef" {as Dad calls him} since starting his cooking classes! He made such a yummy dinner! {If you look at the dishes in the background you can see what's left of it} He made vichyssoise. It was soooo good! He made a peach and cherry cobbler for dessert!

After Kailee's party we learned our lesson about doing sparkler candles in the house {too much smoke} so we sang Happy Birthday outside!

Kyler wanted to give Ty a hug after he opened his present {new headphones}

tickets to go see Wicked in San Antonio

Ty decided this year instead of having a friend party he wanted all the money to go to a few special gifts!! {fine by me...less work for mom!!} So he got a new bike! He also got 2 tickets to see Wicked in San Antonio next February! Him and I are going to go and get a hotel room, see the show, go visit the Alamo and have a special little trip!! He is beside himself with excitement!!
Happy 10th Birthday Tyson!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy 15th Birthday Kailee

The girls after they finished their dinner
our little mini subway sandwich shop...

presents....
Ashton gave her pickles a princess crown & reese's {cuz it's mini max, she has a pillow that looks just like the reese's that she named Max...don't ask, she's weird}

from Teya...a charming charlie's gift card which she is excited to use!

Carolynn gave her a bear with a cute note attached that said "this reminded me of you cuz you give the best hugs just like big bear hugs!"

Sarah gave her an itunes gift card and headphones since the last headphones she had were "ugly" Sarah said :) This is the card that Sarah's dad wrote...he calls her Kailee Sue

The girls....Quincy {which I didn't have a picture of her gift but she gave Kailee makeup!}, Sarah, Carolynn, Teya, and Mary

Playing the skittles game....you have to pick up 2 skittle without looking and if you get the same color you can chew until someone else picks up 2 of the same color, if you pick 2 different colors you just have to hold them in your mouth! This was a fun game to watch!

mouths are getting full...check out the cheeks!!!

I had them show me their "wad" when the game was over....gross!

trying to make a star with their feet

the sock game....sooooo fun and hilarious to watch! I gave all the girls some cute socks and you start by sitting in a circle. When you say "GO" all the girls have to try to get the other girls socks off but try to keep your own on. The last one with a pair of socks or sock on, wins! There were lots of crazy moves...the girls had a great time! There were some rug burns! {oops}

Shawn was laughing so hard watching the girls...he didn't want to miss out on the fun so him and Kailee went a round to see who would come out on top....

Once Kailee got him down all the girls dog piled him and he went down!!!

exhausted after 4 rounds of the sock game!
but time for cake

sparkler candles

it got a little smoky!

tired but having fun! It was such a fun night...after cake and ice cream they watched a movie...I think all of the girls fell asleep at different times throughout the movie for a little cat nap!!! What a fun pajama party!!! and a fun group of girls...everyone got along really well!!!
