Tumbling Round 2

     Big Brother started round 2 of tumbling classes on Saturday. We got up a little early and went up to the Y about an hour before tumbling started. Hubby and I left the kids in child watch and went to work out before picking the kids back up to head upstairs. We took Big Brother in to his class and started to get settled when his teacher asked if we would mind doing a parent-free class this week. It was fine by us and so we scooped up Froggie and headed back out into the lobby. We sat and talked with some other parents while we chased Froggie around until the last few minutes of class when we were told we could go back in.
     As soon as Froggie and I got into the class room Big Brother started stalling in the set up and saying "Mommy, watch this…" so I had to keep urging him to keep going. Froggie started yelling at him and so I sent her back out into the lobby with Hubby. Big Brother did pretty well and sat to get his stamp for completing class.
     Unfortunately, our good start didn't carry though the rest of the day. We were pretty lazy and sat around all afternoon.

Froggie's Final Birthday Celebration

     Today was Froggie's turn to celebrate her birthday at Chick-fil-a. We got up and ready and headed up to Chick-fil-a and got settled. We've been there for an event once a month since december so we're getting pretty good at this! We got all settled in and had breakfast and Cow came out. Froggie seemed to like the cow better last time when it was dressed as a princess but she was pretty interested in it this time too (until it was time for her to go see him herself!).
     She really seems to enjoy her newfound mobility and walked all over the restaurant and play area after she ate and cow brought her a gift of a little cow and red ball. Unfortunately both Hubby and I thought that the other had her little cow (which she really like and made him dance around and walked around with him) and he was left behind. I e-mailed the wonderful woman in charge of the events and she is holding on to her cow until Monday when Hubby is going to stop in and pick him up.

     After Froggie's birthday breakfast we headed to Big Brother's last tumbling class. He has a lot of fun before class starts playing around on the equipment but when class starts he runs around and does everything but what he's supposed to. He has a lot of fun and it seems to be a "boy thing" to just explore while the girls seem to do better at following directions. Froggie also had fun wandering around too and meeting some of the younger kids from the earlier class.

Froggie's Birthday Celebration

     We celebrated Froggie's 1st birthday this weekend! We had a big party at Hubby's parent's house and had about 40 people join in on the fun! (We had done a big party when Big Brother turned 1 and decided it would be fair to do the same for Froggie.)
     The day started off with Tumbling followed by picking up Panera for lunch before we stated to decorate for Froggie's party.

Cones!

Froggie has become a great spectator

     What other kind of party would be fit for a Froggied Princess than a princess party? Here's a look around at some of the decorations.

The reason I haven't posted a blog since Wednesday!

LOVE the way they turned out!

     Froggie had a blast opening presents and did really well until she opened the La La Loopsy doll our friends had gotten her, then she wanted nothing but the doll! She was blessed with a ton of gifts from our family and friends and will be one well dressed little girl this spring/summer!

Froggie's gifts, she was very blessed.

Excited to open her presents

Big Brother had his own gifts.

The first gift, she dove right in

Can I get in here?

Big Brother decided to wear her tiara

Then he put it on me!

     Then, the best part of any first birthday, it was time for cake! Froggie was really antsy and upset that she had to wait until the singing was over to enjoy her cake but she dug right in once it was on her tray!
     It was a VERY busy day and it was a lot of fun! Froggie was bathed before guests started to leave and then once most had departed she fell asleep while my mom held her.

Cake!

Why can't I have this yet?

How should I do this?

All at once!

Check out that face! She didn't want to share!

Happy girl, covered in cake!

Oh the joy of cake!

All partied out!
