But I thought Analese's birthday was over....

That is PROBABLY what you are thinking as you are reading this blog post. BUT - the celebration continues. Practically all month long! Grandpa Bob rolled into town yesterday is his white car (the white car always impresses Analese for some reason). He came bearing a sack full of birthday gifts for our little spoiled princess. She was DELIGHTED with the Barbie fishing pole. She has had her eye on this for quite some time.



Even Mariele got a present!



Analese thought the silly singing card was a hoot!



So my kids are now beyond spoiled. Thanks Gramps.

And Meemee and Mammaw are on their way also. They will be in this evening bearing their own bag of birthday gifts. My mammaw's 91st birthday is tomorrow, so we will be having more birthday fun! Lots of balloons and spaghetti and carrot cake!

Analese cast her fishing rod out onto the pool this morning, while Daddy and Grandpa did some repairs to the pool deck. The fishing line has a little butterfly on the end of it, not a fish hook. Lee has done enough anesthesia for kids with fish hooks in their eyes and other body parts (including one that went through the eye and into the brain) that he is super paranoid about taking her "real" fishing. But for now she is quite content with the butterfly fishing in the pool.

It's grandparents' job to spoil our kids. At least that's what my mom keeps telling me, so it must be true, right?

Love the butterfly on the end of the line. Great idea.

(Eww on the fishing hooks in the eye.

We have that same fishing pole! I'm actually impressed with how easily it casts. My daughter is gearing up to practice casting in the back yard with her butterfly.

We took her fishing last week and she caught 5 fish . . . and one Daddy (in the back). Oops. The fish we threw back, but we kept the Daddy.

Hahahaha, I love the length that is a little one's birthday! We do the same thing here.

Fishing rod is awesome! I bet she'll have so much fun with that. Our daughters love going fishing with Daddy.

So cute!

Cole's preschool has fake fishing poles with magnets on the end that they use to fish for letters and numbers in the water table. Maybe you could rig up some kind of magnet thing.

Maggie keeps asking to go fishing with her Dora rod. We grew up with the weights so that they couldn't really throw the line.
I like the idea of fishing in the pool.
And yes grandparents help the party last for a long time.

Oh, the fun of grandparents!!!

We will have the grandparents here in shifts during the month of July (oh, and Auntie, too). There will be lots of spoiling going on. I just hope Momma get spoiled as well.

Enjoy having your family with you.

The fish hook stuff sounds icky. I used to fish as a kid and we had no troubles.... thankfully.

Our neighbor works for a fishing company so they have tons of toy fishing rods. All of them have plastic fish on the ends. The boys love to play with them!

Cute fishing pole and yay for grandparents. Cooper's grandparents arrive next week and they are planning to take him to pick out his own birthday presents.... I can only imagine what they will come home with!
