Eli's Birthday Party

Our crazy party weekend is over! We had an awesome time! When Eli's friends all started to arrive he sat down at the kitchen table ready to eat cake and ice cream. I had to let him know that we were going to do all of our games first then eat cake and ice cream.
Game 1- Pin the Mask on Spidey. What a funny game! The kids loved it! The winners were Eli, and Elijah E. (class mate from school).
Game 2- Pinata Smashing Time. Most of the kids got to place their best whack on Spidey, until the overly muscular Austin swung at Spidey's neck and Spidey's body hit the ground. He was decapitated! James then decided to allow Logan (the last kid in line) get in his swings on Spidey. Needless to James Spidey slipped off of James' broom twice before Logan could get his hit in.
Game 3- Art Project. James and I had made some stamps and everyone got to place a stamp on a canvas to signify their attendane to Eli's 6th Birthday Party. It is offically hanging up in his room.
Game 4- Tatooing fun! Everyone left with a tatoo or two!
The party was awesome and Eli wants everyone to know that he loved his presents!

Advanced Warning of Jenna's First Birthday!

Jenna’s First Birthday!

Jenna was born June 7, 2007 @ 11:07 AM

We will be gathering to Celebrate Jenna’s 1st Birthday

When: June 7, 2008 @ 2:00 PM



It is a special time for the Martin Family!

We have decided to do something unique for Jenna’s Birthday. We would like to create a Time Capsule. On Jenna’s 18th Birthday we will open the Time Capsule to enjoy the items that you have given her.

Now let’s discuss what I mean by items. What you choose to place in the Time Capsule will be special to you and Jenna. Or something special to you that you would like Jenna to have when she turns 18. Or something that defines you that you can tell Jenna all about at the opening of the Time Capsule. It could be an item from your Alma Mater as she is getting ready to go to College. It could be something as simple as a letter, or something discussing current events. My hopes are that you spend a lot of time stumped on what you should do. That way when she does open the Time Capsule you will see that what you put in is something that she will always cherish. Better yet she will feel special that everyone cared so much when she was a baby! It is totally up to you whether or not you wrap the item. I am now sending you out to get creative! Please have fun on this mission!

By doing this Time Capsule it will also help our out of town family join in on the fun. For those of you unable to make the trek to Indianapolis please mail in your item and we will place it in the Time Capsule on 6/7/08!

We can’t wait to see everyone to celebrate Jenna’s 1st Birthday!

Check it Out

I wish more people were reading our Blog! When you visit our page save it to your favorites, that way you can check it out when ever! It wont take long! Just visit us a little more often!

Just in case you were wondering, that is Scooter! Jenna is trying really hard to create a positive relationship with the kitties! Most of the time they run away from her, but every now and then they come in for a little sniff. Skeeter talks to Jenna and she talks back! It is really funny to watch the interaction between the two!

Spoiling

I just wanted to let everyone know that Jenna is not spoiled!
She spoils us!

Jenna's First Valentines Day

As a new parent I have had the joys of experiancing "firsts" with my Daughter. So, I get to be silly about these new things. I dressed her up in a cute pink lacy outfit. I labeled her food with hearts for daycare. And of course got her a few Valentines Day presents. She just stared at her new stuff, like "What is this?" But then she dug in and began to play. Eli of course loved his Valentines Day basket of goodies. Hopefull they both have tons of fun today at school and daycare.
