Dang Leprechauns!

Those pesky little creatures hit our house again this year! They came in the middle of the day...left a gold coin trail from the front door to the kitchen table... and overturned all the bar stools and chairs along the way! Once they got the the table the must have walked in green paint somewhere and left footprints on the table! That is not all they left though, they left us more gold coins and some Lucky Charms! So I guess those pesky guys aren't soooo bad!


Happy St. Patricks Day everyone!

Birthday party of the YEAR!!!

Or should I say, "the ONLY birthday party of the year!" This year I thought we should do a combined birthday party for the girls....you might be wondering what I was thinking, so here is the logic! We started planning Kaybree's birthday party. Her birthday is December 30th and everyone is usually out of town, or coming home the day or weekend of her bday. In the past I've always planned her party for a week or two later. This year we were also planning her baptism, so that pushed the bday party back even further. Oakley's birthday is February 9th. I knew I would be doing another birthday party very shortly after this one. Since Oakley was totally on board with all of Kaybree's ideas, we decided we may as well combine! Well, I told the girls that they could each invite as many girls as their age...Kaybree 8, Oakley 6...total 14....right? Well, one thing lead to another and I hate for feelings get hurt, so we ended up with a grand total of 28! Yep you read that right....28 little girls! We invited 28 girls over for a pajama, pizza, and pedicure party!!! I don't have a picture of me doing pedicures, but let me just tell you.....painting 280 toes takes FOREVER! This is definitely going to be a party my girls will remember! That's what it's all about right?!

28 water bottles!

I knew this was going to get confusing, especially when it came to drinks. So my brilliant idea to keep some sanity was water bottles with names on them! I worked out fabulously! 28 goodie bags!
28 cupcakes!

28 cute girls in pj's!
28 presents!

Out of all 28 gifts, this is the gift that topped the charts!!! JUSTIN BIEBER!!! hahaha! ;)

Bryce's Birthday!

We celebrated Bryce's 33rd birthday in January! I can't believe that we are getting so old! ;) It really seems not long ago that we were celebrating 22! hahaha! Anyway, I would feel very ungrateful if I didn't recognize Bryce for the wonderful daddy, hubby, man that he is! He truly is the best guy I have ever known and I am happy to say he is mine! Bryce is so amazing, he always sees the good in everyone. He is kind and gentle, yet tough and hard working. Thanks for all you do! Love ya! Sorry if this embarrasses you! XOXOXO
