I finally found the time to work on my Luau post! Be sure to check out my other pictures on my Culinary Creations and Craftastic Stuff pages. Above are the pictures that didn't quite fit in those pages, but deserved to be recognized! Party favors included lais and sunglasses. Somehow I managed to get a bouncy castle that was had a Luau theme to it. How cool is that?! Water bottles were served in a beach themed floaty. I forgot to get a good photo of all the banners I made out of hawaiian themed scrapbook paper, but this picture shows a few of the decorations.

Flip flop pinata went right along with the all the other flip flop decorations. It kind of took over as the overall theme I think. The guests were directed to the backyard festivities with this tiki posts and ribbon path. I also wrote all over the sidewalks and driveway in chalk, "Luau this way!" and "Are you ready to party?!" hehe...so fun!

 

 It was a last minute decision but we decided to do the St Lukes Women Fitness Celebration 5K! I did it with my awesome sis and one of my best friends from High School, Marisa. We did the stroller wave with the kiddos. Savannah walked most of it and I carried Abigail for half of it...but it was totally worth it!

Six month photos I took of my nephew Hayden! He's a cutie! Happy Half Year buddy!

 

Ladies and Gentlemen, I'm pleased to introduce to you Aubrianna Renee Greenwood. I had the wonderful opportunity to take some newborn photos for Emily and Kenny. Here's a few to showcase. It was so much fun! I've never done much of photography and certainly don't have a camera suitable for it but I think they turned out alright. It's not hard to take a good photo when the girl in it is as adorable as this!

One of the fun things we got to do while in California was go on a whale watching boat ride. It was totally rockin' yo! We saw one whale and a whole lotta dophins. The girls thought it was so awesome. I had more fun watching how excited they were than watching the whale and dolphins. I love being able to do fun things for my girls. They're worth it.

August 31, 2012...Abigail took her first steps!

I LOVE CALIFORNIA!! We had soooo much fun! Meeting sweet Aubrianna Renee Greenwood would have been enough but all the fun time with family was icing on the cake. We had a blast. Emily's apartment had a pool practically in her back yard, the beach was a few miles away and the state is simply gorgeous. We couldn't have asked for better weather and sunshine. Aubrianna is such an adorable baby! The kind you just want to snatch up and snuggle with! I'll post pics of her soon!
