The Heilner's: June 2012

Pedicure Time!

One of the gifts Peyton got for her birthday was a Princess Kit from Maddie. The kit included a cell phone, princess tiara, lip gloss, and nail polish. Oh goodie.... :)

I was pretty sure Peyton had forgotten about the lip gloss and nail polish... but unfortunately she hadn't. She asked to paint her toe nails and I couldn't say no. I gave her strict rules of only painting her toe nails (fail) and only painting on the tile (success). Thankfully the nail polish is kid friendly... it doesn't smell and it peels right off!

Breakfast with the Elephants!

Peyton and I celebrated Mother's Day with a trip to the zoo for "Breakfast with the Elephants". Lisa and Brady went with us as well. After a quick breakfast of people food, a few stations of Elephant games, we headed to the elephant area to hide cookies!

8th Grade Dance

My school's 8th grade dance (semi-formal.... kids think it is prom...) happened to be on Peyton's birthday this year. I took Peyton last year and she had a great time, so this year all three of us trekked down to school to see all the kids in their fancy gear. Peyton had a great time dancing and playing with the other teacher kids. :)

Peyton's THIRD Birthday

I can't believe my baby is three!

Her birthday happened to land on a Saturday this year, so we actually had her party ON her birthday! Yeah!

We had her party at the same park that Brady had his third birthday at- it worked out well since it was in our neighborhood and NOT at our house. :)

We decided (ok, I decided...) on a garden theme- I had seen so many cute ideas online and on pinterest (most addicting site ever...). Not more than a week before her party, Peyton informed me that she wanted a giraffe party. Sorry kid... that wasn't going to happen!

Her cupcakes were actually baked in flower pots- then I used green icing and chocolate cookie crumbles. Added a gummy worm and flower to the top... viola!
