Kinsley's Birthday At School

We have partied and partied....but one last party must be made! Kinsley is in the Sugar Bears room and Ms. Darlene has made a big deal out of her birthday....We bring in snacks and party down. Kinsley loved the attention and all of us being there. My family came to the party as well.
Mom was waking Kinsley up from her nap - so the party could get started.

And the party begins...A bit dull with 2 years olds, ironically. I guess they are still sleeping and really enjoying their ice cream.

How can it be that our baby is 2!


Decorations! She has the best teacher!

Joe was a party pooper...I said why not show some excitement for your only neice's birthday....He said this is the 4th party I have been to for her in the last month....hehe....Ok, so we might have over-did it a bit! But she only turns 2, once....or twice, or three times ok, four times! hehe

Kinsley's Easter Birthday

What a blessing to share Easter! Kinsley's 2nd Birthday landed on Easter Sunday and it was a wonderful day! We got up early to the 7:30 mass, since we knew all the other mass times would be really busy. I have to say she was super cute. I just adored her blue gingham dress. It was really cold. What was weird it was really warm the day before when we did her Easter pictures in the park. Go figure...Chattanooga Weather!

We had a big dinner for Kinsley at BeBe and Poppa's. Aunt Mary and Uncle Joe came for the visit as well. Rachie, Joe and Robby also spent the day with us. We got her a cake from Heidi, at Sweet Promises Bakery. She does the best - we wanted to be an Easter Cake as well. Of course, she did a fabulous job. Here are the pictures of her 2nd birthday on Easter Sunday. Along with Easter Basket fun and an Easter Hunt.

The Easter Bunny left some fun outdoor toys for Kinsley! She was quite excited and ready to play with every single one of them.
Playing with one of her Games! She loves this one!

Oh wow....what else did I get?

The Easter Bunny even left one over at BeBe's...

Showing off her sunglasses the Easter Bunny left her!


Hi Guys!

Sophie across the street, sent another basket of goodies over for her!
Wow, obviously our Easter Bunny at our house, needs to work on presentation!
Kinsley adores her Aunt Mary! She was so glad to see her!

Oh yum, What a perfect Cake!

Kinsley loves when we sing Happy Birthday...We've been celebrating it a lot - so sings to herself all the time!

She was ready to jump into that cake...It was as good as you would have guessed!

Some fun presents....She wanted Aunt Mary to help open them.

Playing some of her new games...Games are her favorite.

More games...

Kinsley's day just keeps getting better and better...Now we are on to the Easter Egg Hunt outside!

I found one! Showing Aunt Mary, Uncle Joe and BeBe, who sat inside and watched.

Checking out her stash.

Finding another one....

She was having a blast!



BeBe and myself stuffed all the eggs with candy - and now Kinsley is ready to collect!


Sophie enjoyed the annual Easter Egg hunt, as well as Bryceson and Will.

Dying Easter Egg

After having her pictures in the park and going to dinner with the family....We head back to BeBe and Poppa's house to dye Easter Eggs. This has been a tradition in the Barrows household since I guess I was a baby! Rachie, Mom and I never miss and sometimes the boys come in and out helping out on an egg or two. Well, this is Kinsley's 2nd year of dying eggs and this was just as messy as last years....but oh so fun!She was very excited about the whole thing!

She did not like the egg smell, hehe

BeBe helps make a blue egg.

Kinsley was very serious about it!

She thought she was so cool wearing Rachie's shirt!

Rachael....Helping!

Then after all of that fun.....We all went bowling!
This is talent right here...Rachie beat us all, carrying Kinsley! WOW

Robby was given Kinsley some pointers on form. He is very serious, now that he joined the Bad Bowler's league...hehe

Gregg trying to show off his muscles, since he was lacking in skill - hehe - SHHH!

All in all, it was a great day...Already it is turning cold outside...Easter Sunday will be quite chilly!

Playing in The Park

After, taking the pictures in the park....We changed clothes and had a fun time in the park. She got to ride her new bike that her BeBe and Poppa bought for her and we played a game of ball...Which Gregg tried to kill me with - I am almost sure. I barely came out alive! Next time, we all will wear a helmet - heheShe thought she was so big....



Then she found her shadow and did a little dance for all of us.

and danced



On to the ball game...

She actually has a good throw! We will work on bating throughout the summer!

We had a great day!!!!!!!!
