Kennedy's Ice Cream Parlor 1st Birthday Party

Please check out the latest 5 posts I did today!

Oh September 10th, we celebrated Kennedy's 1st birthday at our house with a Ice Cream Parlor Theme.  I searched for months and months for ideas and I think everything turned out just how I wanted it.  Warning, this post has tons of pictures!

One of my favorites was the cake, it turned out so cute and was super yummy.  I love marble with strawberry filling and Treat Me Sweet Bakery is the best!

They also made ice cream cone cupcakes...

and ice cream cone cookies!  I made the rice krispy fudgesicles, yum!

We had all the set up for a great ice cream sundae party.  I even got a 3 gallon container of my favorite ice cream, Krazy Kookiedough.  It is cake batter ice cream with colored sugar cookie dough, I know you mouth is watering!!

As you know, I take a picture to commemorate each month.  I am glad I did because it made this months project turn out great!

We are finally getting to use Lincoln's birthday present!  Happy 1st Birthday Kennedy!  I think I had to write this like 4 times because Lincoln kept adding his special touch, haha!

And the first little guest arrived, Calvin!

Up close of the months project!

More friends arriving!

The little party favors.  They had a note pad, stamp, bouncy ball and iced cookie inside.

They also got to take home ice cream bubbles!

Can't ever have enough balloons, they really make a party.



Baby guest Peighton!

Since I had so much prep to do with her party starting at 2pm, we asked Yong to watch Kennedy while we got everything ready.  It was a good thing we did because she showed up in a great mood after having a great nap.  Here is the birthday girl with my sorority sister Brooke!

Here is one of Kennedy's ZTA playdate buddies, Poppy.  Her birthday is on the 15th, which was my due date, how funny, right.  Her party is this weekend, yay!

You work that ice cream dress!

The fun poms!

We also got a water bounce house upon Lincoln's request.  This was the funnest thing and adding the water made it that much more fun.  I won't lie, I spent a few hours in it after all the guests went home.

All my ZTA playgroup friends came out for some fun!

The guest of honor's smash cake and hat. I love the little scrap fabric skirt I made for her highchair, it classed it up!

Sweet baby Ava.

Too cute, Niki and Calvin!

We had an outfit change for cake time!

She could not wait for me to get it out of the box, she wanted to get her hands on it!

This is the first baby I have seen that has actually went for the cake.

Happy Birthday Kenny!
She wanted to feed it to everyone!



Then she was ready to eat it her self!


That is my baby for sure!

With grandpa and grandma!

She even wanted to eat the plate, haha!

She got tons of great gift including two car seats which were much needed!

It was such a great party.  Thank you to all that made her day wonderful! I think we had over 25 families in attendance, certainly the biggest party we have ever had at our house.  Fun was had by all and Kennedy didn't even cry and was not shy either.  She loved all the attention, who would have known, really!   Happy 1st Birthday baby girl.  We got video so that you can see all the fun some day!

Lincoln Loves Soccer

On September 8th, Lincoln had his first soccer practice.  That's right, my 3 1/2 year old is playing sports!  I am so excited to see him play since this is what I played when I was growing up.  Hopefully if we try a lot of sports he will find one he likes!  Lincoln loved the shin guards most of all, haha!  He has been wearing them around the house for two weeks. 

September 8th was also Kennedy's 1st birthday, yay Kennedy!  She wanted to get in on the soccer action. She even wore her puma's!

Look how little they all are.  I can't wait to see an actual game.

This was the "catch the coach" drill, Lincoln loves to run!


But it sure does make him thirsty!

He was having fun and that's what counts!

Hey there sweet girl!

We think Lincoln might be left handed and footed.  He always seems to kick with that foot first and color with his left hand.  I only know one person in our family that was left handed and that was my grandpa Hank!  That would be so great if he got that characteristic from him.

He has the stance down for sure, looking so good!  He had fun shooting the ball into the goal.

He started to get tired about 10 minutes before it was over so I think we need to run him around a bit more.  It has just been so hot that this type of activity almost never happens for him. 

They were all so little and cute.  I think he is really going to enjoy being on a team and I can't wait for him to learn what it means to be a part of a team.  Of course I don't really expect that to happen at 3, but I am sure he will get some basics, maybe, I am hoping!  His first game is this coming Saturday on the 17th!  Stay tuned for more pictures! Go Team!!
