Happy Birthday baby sister!

Well today is my baby sisters 39th birthday! I told her she is one year away from the 40 club, not so sure she wanted to be reminded of that! That's what big sisters are for...HaHa. We had a BBQ, and cake and a pretty darn good time! We usually do when we are together. Well, hope you had a great day sis, I love you! 

Last tee-ball game of the season

Tonight was the last game for my little guy...He has had a blast playing and learning Tee-Ball. It was a good experience for him, and for us as well. Daddy was helping out as coach on a few games, and I know he enjoyed it. Everyone got trophies and had a pizza party!!! Can't wait until next year!

Happy 40th Aretha!

Yesterday was Aretha's 40th birthday, and boy did we get her good! I am very proud to say that. Her dad and step-mom kept her busy all day so we could get the party together, and surprise her that evening. Some friends from High school came and lots of family. Her reaction was just perfect...priceless I would say. It was very hard for me to keep it from her all week, because I tell her everything...I caught myself almost saying certain things about the party and would have to quickly change the subject. It was all worth it! Her sisters, daughter,mother,children,step-mom and myself were busy talking all week, and I must say we all work well together. I thank them very much for doing this for her! She is an amazing person, and deserves so much more. I feel I am very blessed and proud to have her as a friend. I love you girlie!!!

Today was Dr. Seuss' day. We watched Cat in the Hat, made green eggs and ham, and made Dr. Seuss' hats....Fun, fun, fun! Cookies and milk topped it off. We had such a good time, and the kids really enjoyed the coloring, cutting and pasting. I will be posting more on all the fun things that we do this summer.

Jazmines Graduation

I went to Sacramento for a few days to celebrate Arethas daughter Jazmines graduation from 8th grade. We had a blast. We were working hard to put this party together, but it was fun because we were all together. They had a bounce house to occupy the little ones, and I was busy with the cake. Jazmine is growing into such a beautiful young woman...Inside and out. I am so very proud of her! She is very talented in so many different things, and drawing is one. She would make a great artist, and cake decorator too...Whatever it is that she decides to do as a career...I know she will be great!

Carries' baby shower

A big thank you to everyone who came to Carries' shower. I hope everyone enjoyed themselves...We sure enjoyed seeing all of you. Also a big thank you for all the gifts, she sure got a lot of cute outfits for Cassie. It's always fun to buy girlie clothes and things. Cassie is doing so good, and she is just so beautiful, it's very hard to stop from kissing her whenever I see her. We are all very thankful that she is doing so well. Here are just a couple of pictures that were taken, as we were so busy with games and eating and visiting, that we just about forgot the most important thing...Pictures!

Happy Birthday to me!

Lordy, Lordy am I really 40?       


I got a great surprise today, one i would have not expected. Here I am at home, It's my birthday, but no big deal. I 'm babysitting, I didn't ask for the day off from that because Joey had to work that evening anyway. So I'm watching kids and cleaning and all of the sudden here is Aretha...I'm standing there with my mouth open...and she is holding this big margarita glass( notice the picture) waving it in the air and singing Happy Birthday! Her girls had made it just for me (so sweet) I am at one end of my house, and I'm watching her walk toward me, singing and waving this glass and I couldn't even speak. She gives me a big hug and a kiss on the cheek, and I just want to cry...I was still speechless for a minute or so..It was the best. Of course my husband and my daughter were in on it the whole time, and I love them for that. I love my best bud too, what would I do without all these people in my life. It was a great day!!!!! Oh yea, I got a cake ( one I didn't have to bake myself) from Aretha, good gifts from my family, and of course long stemmed red roses from my sweetie. Yikes I think I'm going to cry again, I am such a lucky girl!
