Steeplechase Nashville 2012

This weekend was Steeplechase 2012!

We celebrated pre race with a brunch and betting at our friend's house, The Devers. 

They have an absolutely beautiful home and we ate some scrumptious food like eggs, grits casserole, pastries, sausage, bacon, and fruit. Also on hand were bloody marys and mimosas. 

How gorgeous is this? I love the zippy cup! It adds pizzaz! HA. 

We sat in the grand stands this time. Definitely more refined and quieter than the infield. HA. We had a really great time once the rain let up, which thankfully, was for most of the race. 

Look who we ran into, our good friends, The Smiths. Love them and how cute are they matching?!

 View from the stands. All those tents are what as known as "the infield" It gets pretty rowdy out there.

SLEEPING BEAUTY BIRTHDAY PARTY!

Paisley has hit a milestone! My baby is officially 5. Sobbbbbbbb. Anyways,  she won the battle this year and we had her birthday at her favorite place on Earth, Divas and Dudes. Divas and Dudes is a salon, but in the back, they have a stage, complete with karaoke, a runway, dressing rooms, make-up chairs, etc. Paisley hosted the Royal Enchanted Tea Party, complete with 16 friends! I must admit, it was really cute! 

Paisley and all her little friends from school....Kaitlyn, Anna, Maillie, Camila, Blythe, and Skylar.

 Paisley's dress is by Popatu and she is wearing Lelli Kellies on her tootsies. Sorry this is the only picture I have and she is looking down!

I love how excited they all were!!! This was like Christmas!!! 

When they first arrived, they went to the dressing rooms and started trying on dresses. The clothes are so cute!!!  

EXCITEMENT!!! 

The sweet girls who helped were amazing!!!  

Alex is my friend Becky's daughter, and she LOVED it!!!! 

Sweet Grace is finally getting hair!! YAY!!! 

The PARTY ROOM! 

It looked like it had been hosed down  in high fructose corn syrup. I thought I might need an ambulance on standby for Stephen and his healthy self!! HA! 

Playing on the runway and singing karaoke!  

Beautiful Blythe! 

After they tried on dresses, the got their nails painted and hair done, along with some glittery eye 
make-up!  

Lauren Taylor! 

Lilly Kate! 

Paisley takes it all SO serious! Ha!  

Grace had such a great time! 

 Paisley begged me for Chocolate covered strawberries and also for cake push-ups! I loved the push ups! Such a neat twist.

Griffin stuck his hand in the Barbie cake about 5 minutes after being in the house, so I improvised with the ribbon to over up the BIG hole. BOYS! Ugh!  

I made these fun little marshmallow wands. They were a big hit!  

Marshmallow Wands!!!!

ALL THE PINK AND CANDY YOU CAN IMAGINE!!!

MY SWEET BABY GIRL IS 5!!!! I CANNOT BELIEVE IT...

I used my Cricut to make the princess faces and the sanwhiches are cut into crowns and hearts. 

All of my girlfriends!! 

Making a wish!!! 

Mommy and Daddy (Griffin was in the lobby with Grammy and Pappy!)...

For favors, the girls got to take home wands, fairy wings, glitter spray, and make-up. 

Hope you all are well and having a wonderful Mother's Day! 

We have been so busy with birthdays, school ending, church, etc. etc. etc. 

Love you all! 

XOXO-
