pumpkin patch

We are so excited to be heading out of town to celebrate sweet Annie's 1st birthday this weekend! We will be back on Monday with full details and photos of her adorable pumpkin patch birthday party :)

Bennett will be so happy to paint a pumpkin at Annie's party! Our first visit to the local patch was a success wrapped up with lots of pumpkin picking fun!

Have a terrific and beautiful fall weekend!

ride the water slide

Stella and Hudson, two of the cutest twin siblings, celebrated their 3rd birthday back in September. Their mom rented a blow-up water slide and treated all the kiddos to Cold Snap Frozen Yogurt. How fun does that sound? Bathing suits and frozen yogurt with your best friends to beat the southern heat and humidity!

one is fun

First birthday parties are the sweetest of parties. Everyone is so excited to see that precious baby have their first sugar and celebrate a wonderful year of new life. Whether a small family party at home in your back yard or a big bash with friends galore, it's the first birthday party that you will remember forever. For first time parents it's a celebration of 'we survived the first year' and for others it's a celebration of 'has it already been a year?'. But all in all, the first birthday is the sweetest milestone for any family.

Wright and Sally both had very similar invitations. Sweet, simple and classic birthday joy :)

princess party

Anna Reese and Stella love to play dress up and pretend to be princesses from far away lands. They love to dabble in their momma's jewelry box and decorate their arms and necks with enchanted jewels. These sweet sisters made it easy for their mom to plan a birthday party as Anna Reese is turning four and Stella is two. A joint princess party theme was in order for this year's celebration!

Kelly, the girls' momma, went with a light pink and aqua color palette for their party. Rice Designs created a few different invitations for a variety of choices and Kelly allowed the girls to pick out their favorite choice... which they both picked the same one! She decorated with white tablecloths, pink runners, colored gum balls with rock candy, pink and white balloons and even made a special touch with aqua napkins tied with light pink and white polka dot ribbon :) The sisters and their friends enjoyed nibbling on pretty princess cupcakes, cookies and goldfish - every child's dream snack!

And the best part for the kids was the dress up table she had for them to dabble in. She even had crowns for the prince charming's that attended the royal occasion!

twinkies

Recently I have known three families to welcome sets of twins into their families. Double the blessing and double the fun - and double the sleepless nights!!! :) Just typing that sentence exhausted me. I don't know how those mommas do it with two, but I have the utmost respect for them because just having one can rock your world :)

My next door neighbor has twin boys who are approaching their tenth birthdays. We met them when they were three. It has been so fun watching them grow up and mature. So much alike, yet so different from one another. And so fun to see how they function as one being as well as two. It's the coolest thing!

Meet Sam and Will. These two brothers are adorable. Absolutely adorable! I have not met them in person, but if I did I would just melt to pieces. Those lips and sweet hands folded :) I am sure these babies will grow up just as our neighbors have. Best little buddies!

mac attack

Oh my goodness, is this baby not the cutest thing you have ever seen? I could cuddle bug sweet baby Maclin all day long. One hour of visiting this little guy was not enough for me. Talk about baby fever :) he will do it to you. I need a Mac attack... and fast!

Maclin's mom, Sarah, knew exactly what she wanted before he ever arrived (she is my most organized friend... if there was a word that trumped 'organized' than that would be it - I would pay money to have a snapshot of her face when I pulled out my wallet overflowing with receipts and junk the other night... she looked like she could have a heart attack as I tried to shove all the contents back into the wallet that is not even close to clasping shut - haha. I wish she could teach me a thing, or two, or three about getting organized because I need it)! Okay, back to the order of business. She met me with her ideas and we had these materials designed and waiting for his entry into this world way before he was due :) Did I say she was organized :) ?

I LOVE the simplicity of the baby blue stripes paired with the gorgeous black and white photograph. Isn't he beautiful? And I especially LOVE that she opted for printing baby blue stripes on the back of the announcements too. Details!

Sarah also wanted to have the Baptism Ceremony and Reception before she had to return to work, so we designed the Baptism invitation to coordinate with the announcement so she could send them together in the mail. I am really pleased with the printed materials and the combination of the two pieces. They stand alone as well as work together nicely.

Thanks Sarah for allowing Rice Designs to create a custom look for your precious baby :)

Also, the beautiful photography was done by Janie Long Photography. You should definitely check out her work, as it is amazing! You can find her on Facebook.

peanuts and cracker jack's

Jay Nicklos loves baseball! So what better way to celebrate his 4th birthday than a baseball party. Jay Nick's mom, Alex, had table runners made with his monogram and wanted to match the invitation to pull the party theme together. And who doesn't love bright red and navy?!?!? What a cute idea and something she can use from year to year!

The kiddos had a blast playing at the park, eating pizza and munching on baseball cupcakes. Alex not only hit a home run with this party, but she hit it out of the park!
