Okay, now for a little fun stuff. Our little Carter will turn seven years old on March 15th, but she had her birthday party Saturday at a place called 'Flight', a fabulous trampoline jumping place. Now Mr. Precious was able to go so I could snap a few pictures and then we went home but Carter assured me this was the best birthday party ever.
Carter wanted a Shopkins theme for her party. Shopkins are tiny little plastic 'things' with cute little smiley faces and my grandchildren love them. My daughter made these darling cupcakes and if you look closely there is a little Shopkins in the center of each cupcake for each guest. This was a 'girl' party except for one little brother, Campie! :)
There was so much movement, a lot of the snaps are blurry. Here is Carter blowing out her Seven candle. I can't believe she's seven years old!
The party girls and my silly little Carter sticking her tongue out! For those of you may not know, Carter is a miracle! We've gone through a lot in the last year...Carter with her auto-immune disease and chemo treatments and me with my broken knee. Carter is healed and me too! Praise God!
Nothing like a line up of all the party goers with their Shopkins. Can you believe the different sizes of all these little girls who are all around the same age? Carter has on her Shopkins t-shirt and little Campie doesn't mind at all posing with the girls either.
Here's a peep inside the jumping area! It was amazing! No, I didn't jump. :)
Here's Carter about to blow me a kiss......then a blurry jump!
A blurry Campie on the move.
After a kiss and a hug, Carter was zooming off to join her friends.
Oh, I have to show you this...my 42 year old daughter jumping and turning a somersault! I can't believe she can still do this. She flipped four times for me! I did capture her perfectly upside down, didn't I? I will not tell you I almost wet my pants when she did this. No, I will not tell you that! :)
Be a bunch of sweeties,
Shelia ;)
I'll leave you with a little Note Song ~
Jump
I get up, and nothin' gets me down
You got it tough, I've seen the toughest around
And I know, baby, just how you feel
You got to roll with the punches and get to what's real
Ah, can't you see me standin' here
I got my back against the record machine
I ain't the worst that you've seen
Ah, can't you see what I mean?
Ah, might as well jump
(Jump)
Might as well jump
Go ahead an' jump (jump)
Go ahead and jump
Ow oh, hey you
Who said that?
Baby, how you been?
You say you don't know
You won't know until you begin
So can't ya see me standing here
I got my back against the record machine
I ain't the worst that you've seen
Ah, can't you see what I mean?
Ah, might as well jump
(Jump)
Go ahead and jump
Might as well jump (jump)
Go ahead and jump
Jump

Go ahead and jump
Get it in, jump (jump)

I'm so happy to hear everyone is doing well. I was wondering how Carter was doing but I didn't want to ask so I'm glad you mentioned it.
ReplyDeleteWhen my kids were little my son was always the only boy at his older sisters parties. Personally I think it helped him in his relationship with girls when he got older. :-)
So glad Mr. is on the mend. Still praying for you both. Sounds like a fun birthday party. Can't believe she is 7!

What an adorable party for Carter! So hard to believe she is 7 already. Campie is a good sport to hang out with all those girls. Glad to hear the news about your husband. Keep us informed on his progress please.
ReplyDeleteHi Shelia: I'm so relieved to read that your husband is doing well. What a scare for your family. And little Carter...isn't she a cutie. Imagine seven already. Our little Riley will be seven next month. Time sure is flyin...
ReplyDeleteSo happy to hear you got to church. We had a long prayer time today and I lifted you and George up! I know the power of prayer. I can't believe little Carter is now 7, but my Tiger will be 6 in April and Scout will be 2. Those Grands grow so fast and I'm so happy to live near them as you do yours. God is good!
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear that everyone is doing well. A blessing after all of the bumps in the road that you have had in the last year. Take care, Sally
ReplyDeletePraise the Lord that your family is in good health! Especially now with your husband, please let us know how he is doing with the meds. What a fun Birthday party for Carter and your daughter, wow!

I still love dolls and these little toys-- im a little girl at heart!! Ha ha ha lol
ReplyDeleteShopkins not dmshookins!! Ha ha ha
ReplyDeleteOh, such good news -- I'm so glad he is doing well. I thought of you this week as we drove in New England. We returned home yesterday, coming up I-90, a day ahead of the blizzard and seeing all the warnings. Sunday we went to Stockbridge and I thought of you again. Maybe next time we're out east we will connect!
ReplyDeleteWhat a super cute and oh so much fun birthday party!!! Your grandbabies are gorgeous, I can't believe Carter is 7 already!! Hope you're staying warm indoors today!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday to Miss Carter! Loved seeing her fun party. Oh my! Your daughter is incredible - I think my heart would have stopped to see her jump. I'm thrilled that your hubby could go to church and that he is doing so well. Answered prayer, for sure!
ReplyDelete~Adrienne
So happy the hubster is up and around. Continued prayers for all of you. We have one of these jumping places near us, and I always think how much I would have loved it . . . years ago. Not now. Things would jiggle loose now.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday to your precious grand. My only grandson's birthday is today. He is 11 years old. I am in awe at your daughter doing that flip! WOW! Hugs and blessings, Cindy
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy your hubs is on the mend...and you were able to be out with you church family..
