The Wade Family!

Bedrooms!!

So Jeff got Lilly's room painted and we put some finishing touches on Lances. I also changed some things in Lindley's.

I finally got curtains for Lindley's room. They are just pink sheers, but they make a huge difference! We took the double bed out (don't worry Grandma we plan to get a twin bed to put in here), gave her Lance's armoire and moved most of her toys to her room. I still have stuff to hang on the wall. My parents and I got her stuff for her room for her birthday. (She seriously didn't NEED anything).

Lilly's room in progress......

Such a good Daddy!!

It's hard to see in picture, but the dot wall also has glitter!! Jeff did one coat and she said it wasn't glittery enough so he did a second! It's very subtle but very cute!

Doesn't it look great!!! She was tired of her loft bed so we were originally going to sell it and get her something new, but then Lance said he wanted to try it. So we played musical furniture! We just put his frame in her room. She kept her dresser and we moved the little table in as her desk till we find something. She wanted white furniture, but I really like the way this looks in here.

She also needs some things on the wall, but we ran out of time!

We were planning on making her a fabric headboard. She wanted the canopy the whole time, but once we got it up we decided we don't think she needs a headboard at all. We may decide to do one later, but now this works!

The loft bed looks great in Lance's room. His room is wider (Lilly's is longer) so it actually fits better in here. It seemed to eat her room up. He also got stuff for his room for his birthday. My parents got him new bedding. (His first complete bedding set. He has always just had a sheet and blanket).

I just love it!!

Since I moved his armoire out I put a thing in his closet for his clothes and moved this in for all his dress-up/random toys.

Pappaw & Julie got Lance some fatheads for his birthday!! I'm not sure if Lance or Jeff was more excited. We still had his Purdue ones so they went on his basketball wall. They got him a Drew Brees and a Saints helmet for his football walls. They also got him some Yankee ones and a light switch plate, but I don't have a picture of that wall.

Lance in his new bed, new sheets and new Mickey (from Pappaw & Julie) Happy boy!!

They all seem to be very happy!! Jeff worked so hard on these rooms for them. He did a GREAT job!!

More birthday stuff

Just a few more pictures to share.....

They got birthday money from Uncle Cam so excited!! Lance is saving for something big and I put Lindley's in her piggy bank!

Just in case you didn't get a good view of her board!

I tried to make his look like a trading card.

Styling in her new sunglasses, top and flip flops!!

He got these Legos for his birthday and them same night!

This took another day, but he got it done!

He also has already put together the set Grandma got him. He is a Lego MASTER!!

Lance is 6!!!!

We decided to do Lance's party at a local tumbling place. The thought of 12-15 kids(mostly boys) in my house made me crazy. Plus, I knew weather could be a factor...turns out it was raining the day of his party!
Lance has needed a new bike for probably six months. We just hadn't taken time to get him one. So we made it part of his birthday. We gave it to him Friday afternoon after school. He came in and started playing with Lindley. We waited and waited...he went to the kitchen, bathroom....but never to the living room.

Finally I called for Lindley and he got up too.

I think he is happy!

This face is PRICELESS!! Pure joy!!

Look how big!!

Lance had wanted a home party because he wanted to do Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. So despite the fact that the gym will do all party supplies I agreed to do TMNT if he agreed to a outside the house party!! We did cookies decorated like pizzas (the turtles favorites), Toxic ooze (green Kool-Aid) and fruit representing each color of turtle. Of course...cake and ice cream too! They even decorated and made plates, cut cake etc. AMAZING!! Totally worth the money to be able to not stress and enjoy the party!

PARTY TIME!! (Aidan, Lance's first friend, from preschool)

Notice the hair cut? I haven't mentioned it for fear of being disowned by two people in particular (Uncle Cam & Grandma Trisha). He begged and wanted a buzz, but this was as short as I would let him go.

Micah, Lance's second friend, from preschool

Look how big she is!

This girl had a BLAST!! I'm thinking her next party should be here! She would love a class....just to find the time!

GO LILLY!

They were introducing themselves. I love this picture of them talking like old men!

CAREFUL!

SILLY GIRL!

I don't know what she is doing, but it's hilarious!

WEEEEEEEEE

Harper, Lindley's first friend, his Lance's friend's (Brody) sister. Isn't she adorable? She's actually a few month younger than Lindley. Look at all that hair!

Having so much fun!

Their favorite part...knocking down the giant wedge!

Riding the air tramp as the fill it up!

JUMP!

Going down!

I was originally going to make his cake. Then he saw this one at Wal-Mart. He wasn't going to get it because he didn't want to hurt my feelings. So sweet, but I think I'm good with just going and picking it up! Notice the "pizzas" in right corner. We were going to do only red M&M's for pepperoni's. Then I decided the yellow could be pineapple, the green could be peppers, brown could be sausage or bacon etc. Lance decided the blue could be blueberries and decorated on with just blue for him!! He did every pizza himself and would say the food name as he decorated. HILARIOUS!
