Pajama Party!!

Abbie had her birthday party last week...she decided she wanted some friends to spend the night...I told her 3 maximum...she told me she wanted 12...ummm, I don't think so. Instead, we opted for a 1/2 sleep-over with 14 first graders...what was I thinking????

They all came dressed in their pajamas. We decorated pillow cases with fabric paints, had a LOUD dance party in the basement, complete with Hannah Montana and all things High School Musical. The hit of teh night was the glow in the dark limbo.

I have to say the girls were so much fun!!! Yes, there was a lot of giggling and LOTS and LOTS of screaming, but they seemed to have a blast!

Do you wish you were there? Jon didn't... :)

How does this happen??

How do 7 years go by so fast???

Seriously, she's a newborn, then you blink and she's 7!!!


Abbie turned 7 on Tuesday...my how time flies. She has grown into such a beautiful little girl. She is so happy, kind and fun. She's so awesome!

For her birthday she wanted to go out to her favorite sushi restaurant...yes, I said sushi. She loves this little sushi house that has a train that rides around the edge. You get to pull off your sushi plates as it comes around. She LOVES it! She ate 9 plates of sushi, and out-ate us all. Her favorites are shrimp, crab and yellow tail sushi...she eats it all raw!

So after sugar overload with High School Musical cupcakes at school with her friends and sushi train for dinner, Abbie called it a day!




HAPPY BIRTHDAY ABS! WE LOVE YOU!

Dinner Auction

Do you think she's $4500 cute?


Ok, so I'm a few weeks behind...but hey, at least I'm still blogging...

Jon and I went out with some good friends a few weekends ago to our church Dinner Auction. We have gone to the auction every year for the past 4 years, but this time, we went in style...in a Hummer limo. It's been a long time since we've been in a limo...Limo rides just haven't seemed necessary with small children...well thats about to change! I tell ya what...having a limo is the way to go...
1--I didn't have to bring a coat (even though it was FREEZING) because we get door to door service.
2--Wine and champagne (need i say more)--Dom Perignon, in fact!
3- No need for a designated driver!

So anyway, after a night of much wine, dancing, and bidding, we actually won something...and NO not the puppy that Jon wanted so badly...no way was I going to pay $4500 for a 4 lb dog--thats over 1k per pound!
We came home with Abbie's class basket...tons of gourmet coffee and goodies with a tray and coffee mugs that had thumb print animals decorating them. I'll see if I can snap a pic of it and post it...I know a few of you have asked for a pic.

Hope all is well with everyone!

EASTER 2008

Look at this folks, I'm on a roll! 2 posts in a week!

Hope everyone had a great Easter....ours was a lot of fun, although very cold. I was just starting to believe that it was going to get warmer. I wasn't surprised that it was cold, being that Easter was in March!!

We went to church in the morning then to mom and dads to eat and veg out all day. The girls did an Easter egg hunt. They really did need their coats! Hopefully the warm weather is on its way!
