I got chores done then had breakfast before hubbie and I both started gathering all the things for the party.
Since most of daughter's things are packed away in storage at different locations we will supply most of the containers. We also loaded 2 pop up tent canopys for shade and IR's highchair along with a huge cooler to keep ice and water in.
Daughter made her cake and cupcakes last night and they are so pretty and go with the mermaid theme party.
Daughter came over and helped us search out some of the things she wanted.
Hubbie and I had a light lunch and then headed over to the Flex Fitness center pool. Son-in-love knows the owners of this gym and they agreed to rent the pool to us for IR's first party.
It is a very nice large pool and looks so clean.
We all got busy and got things all set up. #2 son came early to lend a hand with the tents and tables.
It was very hot and sunny until some clouds with a passing thunder storm cooled us off for a little while.
#2 son , d-in-love and RL had to cool off early in the pool.
IR was hot and didn't know why she couldn't get her swimsuit on and get in the cool water.
Thankfully the storm passed to the north of us and we had a beautiful afternoon for a pool party and all the guest enjoyed it very much.
The guest of honor didn't know what to think about getting to make a mess out of her cake but she happily took the opportunity.
It's hard to believe a year has already passed this coming Wednesday when this little girl came into the world on the June 20,2017.
Hubbie, d-in-love, g-daughter RL, g-son...
G-son and RL playing with hubbie's brother's g-kids.
And IR finally got her pool time with daddy and some friends.
By the time we got things cleaned up it was almost 5:00 and we were all sweaty and pooped and very thankful we were only about 5 minutes from home.
We unloaded and I washed up all the containers before taking a break. I sat out in the covered patio and watched another storm move past out area and felt the coolness of the rain from the storm. These days my sitting buddy is Pumpkin the cat. I think he thought there was another cat about to invade his lap territory by the look on his face as he looked into the camera !!!!
Today is also Father's day and I am thankfully blessed to have been surrounded with wonderfully loving dad's. From my dad who I am very thankful to for the foundation he laid for my life.
For my father-in-law who took a genuine interest in my kids and showed them what a devoted grandfather looked like.
For my husband who has been the best father to my three kids that any mother could ever hope to have help raise her children.
And for my #1 son who is a hardworking dad who loves his family more than anything.
And for my son-in-love who has been a wonderful addition to our family and exactly the kind and loving husband and father I prayed for to my daughter and g-daughter to have.
I feel like the most blessed mother and grandmother on earth tonight and never let a day slip by without a humble ,grateful prayer to The One who put all these men in my life, thank You Lord !!
God Bless and Good Night
