Summer Daze

LH and Wils (as LH calls him) are enjoying the last few pool days of summer!!!

Argghhh, my little matey is turning 4!

The party for LH was great! I had hats, eye patches and tattoos for the kids, but with 3 and 4 year olds, we never really got around to that until then end, but I did get great pics of all his little buddies that came to celebrate with him!

This was precious! We put this out to signal the party house, and we caught LH sitting and waiting for all of his "people"!!! It was so cute!

30th Birthday Party

Here are promised pics from my birthday party! The one regret I have is I didn't get a pic with my parents or in laws! Enjoy!

Mommy and LH - he was such a good party man - entertained all of my friends!
This was towards the end of the night - notice the water spots on my dress! I was trying to sneak some water and they caught me and I spilled!!!! Also, notice the fabulous necklace!!! That was from my parents! They rock!

One of my bestest friends ever and the host of the party! Her and her hubby are troopers! They helped plan and even offered up their house last minute when plans changed!

Hubby's college roomie and his wife - btw who is almost 5 months preggers!!!! Can't even tell!! She looks fantabulous! Love them!

Twins!! What can I say, this color is IN! Love K!

Us with my college roomie and her hubby! They surprised me from Raleigh!!! Such a special treat!

My brother and Sherry! Can't wait to meet baby - who by the way, should be here any time now!!! Mommy looks HOT - all belly!!!

My "walking friend" as hubby calls her and good friend C! These are some very cool and fun chicks!!! We are celebrating C's 40th in September!!!

The other host!!!! Too bad I didn't get a pic of us with the couple!!! Oh well, they were busy making my special day even more special!!! Love them!

Found it!

Hubby found the usb cord for the camera today! Thank goodness....I already had to *gasp* delete some pics off the camera!!!!! I hardly every delete pics before I download them and I was debating the entire time if I realllllly needed to do it...I mean how many pics does one need of ones birthday party??? Apparently, a lot! =)

Pics tomorrow! I promise. Now, I must fold laundry *gasp again*! I know.....why am I being so domesticated? I figured it's the least I could do for hubby after her found the cord!!!

Winner!!!

Is Kelly Bee from Beehive Five!

I am sorry it took me so long to post the winner of the wine glasses giveaway! It's been quite a busy weekend of birthday parties and family visitors!

Now, you can still get your own glasses or other fun handpainted items in time for Christmas or birthdays! Just let me know. I'll post pics of all kinds of stuff with prices soon!

Searching...

for my camera usb cord.....

I PROMISE to post fun birthday pics of both parties as soon I as I find it!

Grrrr.....

Surprise!

Well, almost!

Hubby worked hard, super duper hard on a surprise party for me! But, due to changing locations and some other things, the cat was out of the bag! Never the less, the party was still a success!!!! I had a blast and enjoyed myself thoroughly - but why wouldn't I, it was my birthday party afterall!

I am blessed to have such great family and friends that let me love my birthday as much as I do and put up with my countdowns and "it's all about me" days leading up to, during and sometimes after the big day has come and gone! I know they pick on me but I still love it just the same....and I'm not mad at the girls anymore for totally dissing my happy hour on Friday! I was a little bummed when I put the word out for a low key porch happy hour to celebrate my birthday and only 3 were willing to come! Everyone had an excuse, but I didn't realize it was because we were going to be celebrating on Saturday night!!! I cancelled happy hour and just shook it off!!! They all apologized for turning me down but said they weren't sure they could've made it through the afternoon knowing that there was a party the next night!

There were a few surprises left and they were great! My roomie from college and her husband made the trip from Raleigh to celebrate with us and hubby did a fantastic job of putting together a great photo collage from the past 30 years along with my baby blanket and some other mementos my mom helped out with!

I loved every minute of it and it was such a great feeling to know that I have the friends I do that love me unconditionally and made it such a special night! Thanks so much to everyone for a wonderful birthday!

Less than year until the next one!!! HAHA!

Pics to come!
