About Our Family

Lance and I have been married for 10 years!!! We have 3 children, Kenton Doyle, McKelle Alyse, and our new arrival Avilynn Belle. Things are always crazy at our house between juggling work and home life. Even though life is hectic I love living it. It is so wonderful and such a blessing to have a family like ours!

UH OH The Big 3&0's!!! (Better Late than Never)





So McKelle turned 3 and I turned 30!!! Can any believe that! I never thought I would have a hard time with it, but I did! I don't feel like I have accomplished enough to be 30!!!




My birthday is always around father's day so Lance planned a surprise party for me at his father's day BBQ (which was on my B-Day), so I totally wasn't expecting it!






I can't believe it has come and gone, and I will never be in my 20's again! MY OH MY!!! Hopefully the next 10 years, I pack in a lot!



And then there is my little PRINCESS McKELLE!!
She is now 3!!!

Thank You so much to Rebecca and Heather!!! I couldn't have made that cake without you Rebecca, you totally made the party for me! I have wanted to make McKelle a fun cake that she would be in awe over - and I wish I could upload the movie of her seeing her cake the morning of her birthday - her eyes were dazzled by it!


And Heather - you are amazing! How do you whip out a hair do like that in no time and effort!
It really made her into a princess! Thanks so much for your help!





This was so much fun to make - BUT SO MUCH WORK ;)
I might take a birthday off before I do it again ;)




So at the beginning of the Party all the princesses went around following the clues in the story book to find where the Jewels for their Crowns were. They were hidden around the house in the Jewelery Boxes. ( A Troll had taken the Jewels and left the scrolls with clues written down!!)









Once we found the Jewels, we made our Tiara Crowns for all the princesses!





Then we played place Cinderella in her window...




And here they all are with their crowns!






Next we made poison apples and then we played
pass the poison apple




Then after cake and ice cream, we opened presents...




When GIRLS ATTACK!!


Mckelle got a vanity and as soon as all the little girls saw it, they were all fighting to be right by it! It was so funny, they all wanted to play with it, so it created a little problem.... man, we are the same even at 3!


I shopped all over the place trying to find a vanity that I like that would hold up, but wasn't outragiously priced. I found this one online, and luckily it came the day of her party, so Lance was putting it together while we were outside playing games...


I Love this Picture of McKelle, even though she looks 6 in it I swear!
All her hair really makes her look so much older than she really is!


Happy Birthday McKelle. I said if I got a girl, I would want her to be a girly girl - and boy did I get one! I love you so much! You are the funniest little thing, with so much personality! You make me so happy, and I love watching you grow and learn. You remind me of myself with your imagination and girly ways!

Holy cow I am impressed. Hope you don't care that I am copying all your fun games for when Sadie has a birthday party, her only problem is ALL of her buddies are boys except for like 2 girls so I might have to hold off on a Princess Party til she is a little older and gets to know more girls :) She looked darling, and you are right, she totally looks SO much older in that picture.

30 is awesome!!! Life starts when you're 30. I should know I'm 31!
Your pictures are so cute. McKelle looked so cute at the party, but where is the picture of her in the sand box?
Hope everything is great, and I hope the kids are loving school.
Have a great week!
