Party-time

We celebrated Thade’s birthday a little early this year.

I started working on the birthday treats on Friday while Thade was at school.

He wanted Sonic the hedgehog blue cupcakes, and Whoopie Pies with blue frosting too.

We had the party on Saturday, and Thade was so excited.

He had several of his friends over for the afternoon to play video games, and hang out for a bit too.

It was a fun afternoon.

Tomorrow is Thade’s actual birthday, so I had better make him one more cake.

Thanks again to everyone for celebrating with us.

Four More Leaving The Neighborhood

Friday my neighbor dropped by to say good-bye to the kiddos and me too, she is moving back home…

For the last year we have had the coolest neighbors across the street, and sadly they are all moving out, and heading back home in the next few weeks. She also brought along a beautiful present from all of the girls…

It is a gorgeous hanging basket full of dark purple petunias. I seriously about cried, and then I hugged her good-bye about 15 more times. We will miss those girls so much, and I’m sure that they are going to miss the noisy kiddos across the street too.

Midland Adventure

I should probably just move to Kansas City already. It seems to be my second home this Summer.

My best buddy Stacey-cakes and I had a super exciting adventure!

0081

We ventured up to Kansas City, no kiddos, no husbands, just us girls.

Oh yes! We were there to see Adam Lambert!!!!!

We walked around the building to snap some pictures of the tour bus.

There were lines wrapped around the building, but it was so worth it.

Allison Iraheta was the opening act.

She was pretty awesome too!

192

It was such a fun night!

Once the show was over, we headed back home. It’s always hard for me to leave Kansas City…

Wonder what we will do for our next girl’s night…

Walking Shoes and Fire Trucks

Wow, this is one crazy month. The days are filled, and the weekends are too. Today we had a Walk KS kick-off to go to, and I had all of the kiddos in tow. They were cool though, as long as I had enough quarters for the M&M’s vending machine. I got to catch up with some of my buddies too, so that always makes for a great morning.

After the kick-off we had a birthday party to go to, and it was really fun. It was held at community center/ fire station. The boys were thrilled to get to see some fire trucks, and enjoy some cake and pizza too.

I’m ready to call it a day though, but there is still dinner to be made and three kiddos to take care of. We’ll see what tomorrow brings our way.

Christmas Cookie Baking part 3

It took 2 days and one awesome helper, but we finally got all of the Christmas Cookies finished.

0062

Stacey-cakes and I ended up making 479 cookies! It was so much fun too, but I don’t think I want to bake cookies again for a long time.

0171

We moved all of the cookies into the dining room to assemble the plates and trays. The kiddos had fun hanging out in the living room, and snagging a few cookies too.

0111

Even James couldn’t resist the cookies.

0321

We assembled 20 plates, 4 trays, and we both had a few left over for our families too. It was a blast baking Christmas cookies with my best buddy.
