Rapunzel Tangled Theme Birthday Party

This year we decided to have the party outside. It seems like every year the party gets bigger and bigger. We had 18 kids this year. That's just too many in my house and with the weather over 100 every day in August in Texas it is just too hot in the back yard. So I chose a splash pad near our house. The kids had a blast:)  I had SO much fun making all these things for Ellie's 5th Tangled party! I found lots of great inspiration at Oh Amanda & Family Fun.

My friend Sarah helped me make this the night before. It ended up leaning a bit but I thought gave it more character:)

Ellie Layne Images

My friends finally convinced me that I need to start taking pictures professional. So I created Ellie Layne Images:) I am having so much fun working with everyone and editing pictures. Check out my blog and facebook page:) Here is a new pic of me and the girls.

Backpack Tags

I can't believe we only have 3 weeks until school starts! This summer has flown by. We already started shopping for school supplies. I picked up Ellie a new packback at Target the other day on sale.  I just made her a nametag for her backpack. I came across this idea on Etsy and just had to make her one.

This is the backpack Ellie picked out and the tag I made her to match :)
