I'm up tonight studying for my Boards while Wes does his own schoolwork and we've been up with Collin who just vomited which means we may be dealing wiht another stomach virus at our house! We've had a rough 6 wks starting with Embry getting tubes end of January, flulike virus with Embry and Collin, stomach virus with all 3 and then Collin got tubes yesterday. Plus, last week God was very merciful to us but we had a small kitchen fire so this time last week, Wes and I were up doing a major kitchen clean up while the boys were with my parents. We got some burned hardwoods replaced today and our cabinets are almost all cleaned of dust and soot, but we still are waiting on our new oven and microwave to be delivered next week. I'll have to post pictures and more later, but we are just so thankful that teh fire was not worse. Anyway, all that to say I have been wanting to post photos from Embry's first birthday party 2 wks ago which we had to postpone due to the first stomach bug! But we did have it and had a blast. I decided to go all out with the Pooh theme and had so much fun getting ready for it.So here goes with all the pics!!
 |
| The cake was done again by our amazing allergy free baker who threw in a smash cake for Embry too! |
 |
| Found this recipe online for Tigger tales which were orange and chocolate dipped pretzels. Since we can't have candy coating due to the milk, I made my own fondant icing and dyed it with an all natural food dye I paid way too much for and then it turned out white by the next day! Oh well, it still tasted good and my sweet husband helped me paint on the stripes the night before |
 |
| Got this idea on Pinterest for a party mix and used my sweet grandmother's collection of pinecones for the food labels |
 |
| My wonderful mother made these amazing waterbottle labels! |
 |
| I had fun with the Pooh quotes all around the house. He had some awesome ones!! |
 |
| Wes helped me make this Hundred Acre Wood sign for the yard |
 |
| Piglet's pink lemonade |
 |
| We were so happy that my bro and his girlfriend Catherine could come! They had fun with the toys |
 |
| And here's the birthday boy!!! I got the idea for his shirt and then found the fabric and asked my mama to sew it on. I'm good at finding ideas and asking her to make them!! |

 |
| We gave out copies of "My Utmost for His Highest" in honor of my grandfather who loved that book and read it as his devotional daily. He kept our family history documented in the pages including all our birthdays and special days like the day Ashton first called him Pop. We sure did miss him at this first family function without him. |
 |
| I think he had a great day sweet little E!!! |
