What a month!

August.....Though it may be the 8th month of the year, it always seems to get here like it's the 2nd month! It's like Christmas, I know it's coming but I'm never ready! Do you know what I mean?

The month started with company from Tennessee! They just came for an evening! They were staying with my nephew! It was fun to see them and their children! For boys they are the most well behaved little boys I've seen in along time!

Then came company from Florida! It was so much fun! My Aunt Barb and Uncle Blackie!

We haven't seen them for 2 years! We went places, we ate lots of food(and ice cream, Uncle Blackie's favorite!) and just spent lots of time with them!
Then came August 17 and it was time for Gayle's birthday! Our sweet Gayle turned 29!
It is so hard to believe! 29!!! Lisa(from spoonfulofsugar) and I were joking that it is so hard to believe our children can be so old when we are so young!

And now it's today, August 29! We now officially have another teenager in the house!

How can that be? Wasn't Lilli just born yesterday? She's so sweet, smart, and my best friend!

Here they are! My babies now making me feel really sad, happy, old, young all at the same time!

I love you both more than I can say!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!

Wherever you are whatever you are doing I hope you are having a wonderfully happy day!

PS....please excuse the dates on the pictures. I didn't notice them until now!

Finally the Birthday Party!

Can I just say that time flies when you're having fun?! And how! I was going to do this Monday and here it is Thursday almost Friday. We have had a very quick but sweet visit with my aunt and uncle from Florida. They are due to leave tomorrow morning. The need to beat Hanna home is very much on their minds. They were thinking about 4 days to get there now maybe 3 days. We will miss them but we understand. We are hoping for their save return and that they beat Hanna.
On to the party! It was a huge day, but lots of fun! We decorated with pink, brown and blue! They are very yummy colors together! As you can see we punched flowers and made a vase with stems for our door! When everyone came in they had to sign a flower and then we glued them to the vase or a stem!

It then looked like this! We then have something with everyones name on it to keep!

Aren't these glasses so girlie and vintage? They really looked pink before I filled them lots of chocolates! That's right, chocolate! Chocolate covered raisins(a personal favorite!),
chocolate covered peanuts and malted milk balls! What more can a girl ask for?!

Here is Lilli trying so hard to decorate cupcakes with our bag and decorative icing, but Martha we are not!!!! We need lots of practice! Maybe by my birthday we will have this mastered!

Here is the finished product! Notice the cupcake candle on top! That was from Linda!
Thanks Linda! Everyone loved the candles! They are really cute!

Don't forget to comment on the giveaway post!

Sleep tight!
