The Pumpkin Patch

The Pumpkin Patch at Live Oak Canyon

They had these cute hand painted pictures to take pictures with

Jumping off Hay is always fun

 The Petty Zoo was fun. Tons of baby goats.

Jake always had a gang of goats around him demanding his food

Madison was OK with the small goats, but whenever a big one would come around I had to pick her up

Pumpkins just her size

Wheelbarrow rides are the best 

Zach and Jake went on the Quad Train ride

Zach loved it

We had a lot of fun at this pumpkin patch. They had so much to do. Will be going to this one again next year

Snow White/Evil Queen Mantel

My mantel was inspired by the Evil Queen in Snow White. I wanted to use the things that were in her dungeon when she made the poison apple and transformed into the hag.

Here are the potions that she used to transform herself into the Hag

Old Hag Cackle

Mummy Dust

Black of Night

Scream of Fright

Some of the spell books that she had in her dungeon

Also a skull was there too

The Black Raven that was watching her the whole time

And we can't forget some Poison Apples 

 The wreath wasn't part of Snow White, but the mantel needed something above it and I thought a black tulle wreath would be perfect with a splash of orange

Or course there were a lot of spider webs in her dungeon, so I couldn't leave those out!

The Birthday Girl

Madison on her birthday

Her shirt says I'M THE BIRTHDAY GIRL
We had a nice relaxing day on her actual birthday. I made her a yummy breakfast and sang happy birthday, but that's about it.

She was definitely representing the Jenson family on her birthday because The hair bow we got from Lisa, the shirt from Kari and the tights from Laurie.

Welcome to the World of Strawberry Shortcake

My little girl turned ONE. We celebrated by having a Strawberry Shortcake Party for her. We even dressed her up to be the part. Isn't she cute.

(Click on the pictures to see it bigger and More detail)

In the front walkway we had signs that say exactly what MR. Sun says when he is introducing Strawberry Shortcake for the first time. Then on the door i created Mr. Sun himself with a tool wreath. We also had the song that has Mr. Sun saying everything the signs say and then goes into the Strawberry Shortcake song. That was on repeat until everyone arrived at the party.

The Mantel was all dressed up with the original Strawberry Shortcake dolls

I made all the strawberry's you see below with my handy dandy cricut cutting machine and the pom poms by handAnd yes I even had Strawberry soap in the Kitchen and Bathroom. The house also smelled of strawberry's thanks to scentsey(The cake I did myself, but the board underneath absorbed all the frosting that touched it. That is why it looks kinda sloppy)

These paintings of Strawberry Shortcake where painted by the Amazing Polly! She did such a GREAT job.

I cut out a number of strawberry's that said different sayings or places from the cartoons and hung them all over the back patio. Also all along the fence I had a ruffled crepe paper decoration that you can barley see in the bottom picture. I used red, green and pink crepe paper and sewed it together to make it ruffle. It turned out great.It's CAKE time

Everyone else had individual strawberry shortcake. I didn't get a picture, but it was a cupcake cut in half with strawberries in between and whip cream on top

Present TimeNow for my little girl to shine in front of all the cute Strawberry Shortcake Characters

She looks just like Strawberry Right!!? (well except I wanted short sleeves...it was warm)

We had a great time celebrating with Family and Friends. Madison's Berry 1st Birthday was a BIG success!
