Dance Parteeeeeee, Er, I Mean.....Baby Shower......

Wow, another blog that was a lifetime ago (j/k, but not really).

My dear, beloved, friend, Amanda,  whom i hold dear to my heart was getting ready to welcome #3 (now named Amanda Lynn) into the world and so we of course had to throw her a baby shower to celebrate and supply her for the next few months with goodies and love.  :-)

Seen as we did this not that long ago from when she was pregnant with Evelyn, i decided to skip the "traditional" games and whatnot of a shower and instead opted for good food and friends.  All was well.....and then Sara, grandma-to-be for the thrird time, suggested the game of all games for us all to play.....

"Just Dance" on the Wii!


Yep, that's right and even Amanda participated, although i'm pretty sure she was just tryng to go into labor.  ;-)

There's not much else to say other than it was one of the most entertaining times i have had at any shower (even with my awesome poopy diaper games that i usually do).  The pictures speak for themselves.  Thanks to all involved and for everyone for being such good sports.  You women are amazing and are definitely my favorites!  :-)








































Loving the kids sneaking inthe background to dance too.  :-)

Four Years Old Plus Two Birthdays Still Makes Five Years Old...

Sarah was a little spoilt this year as her birthday party was two weeks after she turned 5. Because i knew she wasn't old enough to appreciate not celebrating her birthday when she turned 5 (she had been counting down the days for MONTHS!) she got to have a cake on her real birthday and open presents we had for her and then she got her "Monkey Cake" (Sarah is in LOVE with monkeys) on her party day.

The weather held out
(which i was very grateful for) and instead of rain we got 104 degree weather (well, with the heat index anyway)! Needless to say our plans for the sprinkler were well received and most of the kids had a great time getting good and wet.

It's hard to believe my youngest daughter is 5 already and at the same time i think, she's still so young and yet i feel like she's been in our family forever. It's funny how time goes by.

Well, Happy Birthday to my sweet, lovable, feisty, cuddly, moody, blue-eyed, curly-topped, Sarah-Bearah! These past 5 years have been an absolute delight and an adventure! I look forward to the rest of forever with you!


The first cake on her real birthday...




Singing "Popcorn Popping in the Apricot Tree" as
Sarah's pick for the Family Home Evening song.

There were lots of people at my house...
it was quite warm and despite setting the AC below 70,
the house still said it was over 80 degrees!!



Thanks to everyone that came and made it a special day for our Sarah!
