ha"wye"an mountian

If you live in the central Arkansas area, chances are you made the trip to Wye Mountain on Saturday. The weather was absolutely beautiful and the daffodils were finally blooming. When people ask me about being back in Arkansas, I tell them that I am thrilled to be back so my children can experience the same things and places Jon and I did growing up. I almost always mention Wye Mountain in this statement and Saturday was the day I watched as my children frolicked amongst hundreds of daffodils. We managed to beat the heat and the crowd and enjoyed walking around and taking lots of pictures. We were definitely amateurs when it came to the picture taking. Folks were out there lugging in all kinds of props and kids in their Easter best. Seeing as I couldn't get one single picture with both of the kids looking at the camera, I will hold off on any props for now.

 
 
 














 
Presley kept calling it "Hawaiian Mountain hence the title of the blog :)

a royal celebration

I have managed to plan each of Presley's birthday parties around a "P" word theme. To recap: First: Pajama Party, Second: Pony Party, Third: a Pizza Party at preschool or a Precepitation Party when referring to our family trip to Colorado. I thought turning 4 was the perfect time to bring on the Princess Party. Pres & I attended a princess party a few years ago where "Cindarealla" made a special appearance. This was exactly what I had in mind for the party. When it came time to find a princess-for-hire in our araea, there were none to be found. After calling numerous places and almost getting desperate enough to borrow a costume and beg a gal at church to dress up and perform, I ran across the Facebook page of a local party princess. Success! Once Rapunzel was booked it was time to dive into party planning. I'll spare you these details...It was a great party. 14 princess showed up each dressed up from head-to-toe, i.e. tiara to plastic, click-clack heels. The girls decorated crowns and wands until the special guest arrived. Rapunzel did a great job of entertaining the girls with story time, nail painting, and makeovers. I still can't believe our little princess is 4. Happy Birthday Presley!



The "Cindarellas" from school. 
I should have waited on the picture because 2 more Cindarealls showed up. 

This was an extra special birthday because Ava & Macy were in town.
What a treat to have our two favorite cousins at our birthday party! 

A & M play soccer and I am sure they do this as a team before games.
 They taught Pres how to put her hands in and 1-2-3 Team Cousins!
 
Rapunzel is here!


Story time.

Presley still talks about her all the time. Friends reunited.

we like to party

The Wyatt girls know how to celebrate a birthday. Mine involved a new car and Presley's lasted a full week. We started the party week off on Tuesday with a birthday breakfast and a few small presents from daddy & mommy. Mimi came by shortly after breakfast to take P to have her first, real pedicure. Mom said she started off a little shy but warmed up to this necessary pampering. After lunch with Mimi it was time for a quick nap before a family dinner at a local Mexican restaurant. We came back to the house for cake and presents.
