Taryne's 4th Birthday

I decided to take a minute and totally jump ahead of all the posts I should be typing and post a few pictures from Taryne's 4th birthday. Wow, how is this sweet little girl already 4. Ironically it is storming tonight. It stormed the day she was born and a nice cool front came through College Station. The storm now will bring a nice cool front through Knoxville and tomorrow we will be in the low 70's. 

Taryne has insisted she wants an "Arial" party. So everything for her party this weekend will be Arial. I decided to do a trial run on the cake since she wanted something very specific. I bought the Arial cake pan and baked the cake and decorated it with all. the. tiny. stars. Ah. It took forever and then I thought, oh it looks pretty good. Then I took a picture and looked at the picture and decided it looked all wonky. It looked like Arial had her back to us and her head was turned to look over her shoulder. But if that was the case, then her bikini top would be on backwards. Sigh. It is a good thing it was a trial run. I am definitely making some changes for the party cake.




So far she is on day 2 of birthday celebration...we had all the Ph.D. students over for dinner and the trial run cake. Today on her actual birthday, she got to have her favorite donut for breakfast, Kyle took her to Five Guys for supper and after I got out of class (at 7:45 pm) she finally was able to open presents and FaceTime with several different family members. I would say she had a pretty good day.

Tomorrow will be fun...she has her 4 year check up. I am pretty sure she will need shots but our doctor's office does not do shots. Weird, I know. So we have to actually go to the Health Services department for Knox County. Good thing, all records are in a database and they can provide the special form needed for all Tennessee schools/day cares for vaccination documentation. (Way more involved and official than in TX)

Saturday will be her party at a pottery painting place. She is super excited to party with her friends in the morning. Pictures from the party after the game.

School Field Trips

Both kids had field trips at the end of the year on the SAME day. Hayden's class visited a local pizza place, Dion's, and Taryne...
