Oh give me a home... {& other free advice:)}

where the buffalo roam...

{not really :)}

Sorry to dissapoint those of you that thought

I was indeed headed off to the wild west after the french flea

but...

I was knee deep in party planning...

Miss Grace & T.s birthdays are a week apart..

{advice #1 do not have your kids a week apart!}

I decided that this year they were having 1 party together...

{not quite as much fun, definetly easier!}

Above picture is some of the party goods...

Anyhoo...they both wanted {with a little parental persuasion!-

T. originally thought he wanted a gun party?!?}

 cowboy/cowgirl party

{but gun/cowboy are the basically the same right?:)}

I had lots of grand ideas but...

with the 90 degree heat outside

{advice #2 dont have a baby in July if your wanting to have parties outside!}

 & with a husband

who just doesn't quite share my vision for parties...

this was it...

{We used pie tins & mason jars for plates & cups}

quick cupcakes

The larger cakes were made by a friend...

{you can see T.s here & I will post Miss Graces on her b-day!}

{advice #3 Always hire cakes made!}

{our little photo booth}

the kids loved this!

Some sweet neighbors brought their horse & buckboard over

& gave rides to our little cowpokes...

{don't tell him that cowboys don't wear shorts!}

                                                               {the cowgirls!}

                                          & there you have it...

                                            {advice #4 take pictures before the party-
                                           it is soon all destroyed or you get too busy!}
