Construction Zone

 Oh yes it was a Messy Construction Zone today to 
celebrate Brody's 3rd Birthday Party with his buddy Ryan!
It is that time again...A Big Party Celebration
with so many fun details that created 
this ever so cute "Construction Zone" 3rd Birthday Party!
These two very special boys had quite a little event
to celebrate the big day. First of all these boys have been friends since 
they were only a few days old and are only 3 days apart. 
It was a special celebration this year as Brody and Ryan did it up
in style at their very own Work Site!



It all started with this adorable Invitation
from a brand new Preppy Construction Collection
from a new favorite of mine...
Wh Hostess...Super Cute!



All the details of this party
including the rain made it an extra special 
party for the boys!




Everything from the Pennants to the Burlap Table Runners
were hand made with lots of creative love!
The Candy Jars as always are a Hit! 
The Jars were filled with Candy to coordinate with the color
scheme and theme. Reece Pieces, Hershey Kisses, and of course a 
large Jar filled with "Dirt" Oreo Cookies!
Yummy!


The Pennant looked GREAT framing our
Desserts and Cake Table with a 
HAPPY BIRTHDAY in Orange, Yellow, Blue, and Brown!


What Party is not complete with 
Dipped Large Marshmallows 
in Chocolate and Sprinkles!


The Birthday Boy!
Brody eating a Yellow Chocolate Marshmallow!
Wearing the Construction Birthday Shirt!


Brody's Best Buddy and Birthday Boy Ryan!



The Food was so simple and very kid friendly!
Sandwiches with coordinating signs to the Party Invitation!
One cute detail after another!


A Construction Zone is so not complete
with out the ever so popular
Yellow Hard Hats!
We clipped them on a rope and all the kids
were able to grab them throughout the party.


The Construction Zone



The Caution Tape and all the Construction Signs
were a nice touch to our Theme!


The Construction Cone Cake Pops 
were a Hit! The Cake Pops were
Simple and so Perfect for a Park Party!



Brody just loved the Party!
He is always up for a good time!
He is still wearing his Construction Hard Hat!


Mike and Brooks were all smiles
celebrating Brody's Birthday!


I am so proud of my little guy Brody


It was fun having Aunt Robin and Becca there to Celebrate!




Every great Party ends with a Special Favor or Thank You 
to all our Friends for joining in on our celebration.
These little favors were so adorable. I have to give a special thank you
to Mishel and Amanda for all the amazing work they
did to help create such a special favor!
I am now officially obsessed with Stampin Up!
We created the Boxes and Stamped these little Construction
Trucks on the Box and it said "I Dig you!"
Inside each box was a favorite yellow construction Truck
for all our little friends!



The Construction Zone was a Hit!
I had so much fun planning this party with my good
friend Mishel! This Party was so much fun.
These boys are such a blessing!
Happy 3rd Birthday to Brody and Ryan!

Back to School

 The Pepin Boys are back in school and ready to conquer another year of school. 
It is a BIG one for Brooks this year as he started Kindergarten yesterday.
 He is officially a Big Kindergartner at the Bryant Broncos Elementary! 
Brody is back for another year of Pre-School 2's at Keystone Christian Preschool.
 Both of the boys were fired up and ready to go!
 I am so proud of these precious boys as they are so brave and excited about the adventure. 
We have great teachers at great schools and even some of our best friends in our classes!
It should be a fantastic year for learning, growing, and developing into terrific young boys!

Here are a few snapshots of the 1st Day of School!



Charming as always!


Batman Back-Pack and Lunch Box
was the Winner for the Big Year for Brooks!



Big Boy School Campus!


Brody was just so fired up about the
Dinosaur Collection at School!
He is such a character!

We are so blessed to have such great Boys.
I know they are going to add a lot of value to 
their Classes this year! We are excited to see
all the new developments as we grow in our
School Year 2011- 2012!

Goodnight Summer!

 It has been a very special Summer, but time to say goodnight!
We all have mixed feelings as we say our goodbyes, 
but know that the next Season will
bring us so much Joy! 
The Summer is not officially over for a few more weeks!
We are so fortunate that we live in Florida 
and we don't have to say goodbye to the 
warmth of the Sun or the Pools and the Beach!

Goodnight Summer!
Goodnight Brooks!
Goodnight Mom!
Goodnight Brody!
Goodnight Sun!
Goodnight Dad!
Goodnight Colby!




Goodnight Summer! 
Until we meet again!

Summer Garland

 We have had such a great last week of the Summer! 
We did a lot of great fun things with friends and family!
 We are excited to move into the Fall, but just not quite ready!
 We did the Zoo, Clearwater Beach with Friends, and a fun Pool Party today.
 The boys are tan and having fun. 
Next week we start a new adventure!
I wanted to share our Summer Project
as we begin to say goodbye to Summer!


This is our "Summer Garland" it is a 
combination of Brooks and Brody's
Fun Summer Animal Projects put together
to create a Fun Summer Garland.
We have used it all Summer and it was super easy to create.
It has been such a fun way to display the boy's Projects.  
I used Jute Rope and Created the letters to make 
Circle Pennants and it spells SUMMER!
We will be sad to pick it up....but look forward to using again next year!

Happy Summer Projects!

Summer Vacation 2011

 It was another exciting trip to Marco Island with the family! 
We had a fantastic week! You know it is good....when everyone has a great time!
 We had family and friends join us for some fun in the sun too!
 Marco Island in the last few years has become our home away from home
....and we truly enjoy the simple Island Life! 
Here are a few highlights from our relaxing trip! 
Enjoy!




We enjoyed nights out at some of the
Island's Hot Spots!




The Beach and the Ocean was so great!
We spent a lot of time playing and relaxing on the Beach!
We took Brooks for a fun Jet Ski Ride!
Good Times!




Mike and Brooks flew a Kite in the afternoon.
Brooks loved it!
Everyday the Island had such a great Breeze.
It was Delightful!


Brody had a blast with all the fun Pool Games!
We couldn't get Brody out of the Pool.
It was so much fun!

We feel so blessed to have had such a great Vacation
and time with our Family! The boys are growing up so fast!
It truly is a lot of fun to travel with the boys for a 
Great Summer Vacation!
