Taylor's Birthday Party

Taylor turned 7 this Sat and he decided he wanted his party at the house and wanted a sleepover... no problem I said, we can invite 4 or 5 friends and have a sleepover. So we started planing. We ordered the cake but didn't have a clear idea of what we wanted so we told the Silver Spoon to just do whatever... And since the owner is a very good friend of ours, she knew that Taylor loved to cook. She invited Taylor to come and decorate his cake. Taylor had a blast. He decided that since it was a sleepover / Camp out we needed a log, fire and sleeping bag on this cake. He helped make all of it and he iced the blue sky and green grass and even put the red dots around the bottom. Call him "The Man"! So after the cake plans were made we invited his friends and 4 or 5 grew to 9 to 12! So Friday night we had 12 kids, plus parents, etc come for cake, pizza, games, etc. I'm sure they will talk about this party for years!!! Happy Birthday Taylor!

Turning 30.....

Ok so I haven't uploaded any pictures of Tyler's Birthday, I guess you can blame it on my age. (HA! HA!) That's right I turned 30. I thought I'd be more depressed but it's not so bad. The worse thing was my allergies were acting up, because we spent all day at the ball park with the boys. Taylor moved up from T-ball to Machine Pitch and Tyler moved up from Machine Pitch to Kid Pitch, but that's another story. Anyway I got sick Saturday and took a lot of medicine and finally got over it Med day Sunday. My mom called me Sunday morning and took me shopping. We went all over Texarkana and ended up back at the first store we went to, the Furniture Store. She bought me an ottoman for my living room. Then she took me to my best friend's house where she, Blake and Amy decided to throw me a surprise party. I hate surprise parties and they all knew it. But I was smart enough to figure it out, so I wasn't so surprised. I know they loved me enough to go out of their way to make me feel special. I have the best family (that includes Amy's Family & Misty's Family) in the world. So turning 30 is no so bad if you share it with the one's you love.

Also a BIG THANKS goes to my new "cousin Donna" and Mr. Larry and Connor for coming and bringing the cake. "Italian Cream Cake" it was to die for!!!

Thanks guys.....

Tyler's Birthday

Well, it's official I am now old. Tyler tuned 9 today and I can't believe that I have a 4th grader. Since Tyler and Taylor are playing fall ball and we practice on Tues. & Thurs., we had his party on Wed. Tyler didn't want a big party. He just wanted a few friends (7) to go bowling. Hey I'm easy, that was just fine by me. But the bowling alley has league bowlers on Wed. It would be expensive and we would have had to go to a second location to have pizza and cake (Pizza that I can afford, that is) We weren't going to do the Birthday Party thing there b/c you can only do that on Friday-Sunday.

So as Me-Me, Dad and I were walking down the mall, looking for his gift, we had a great idea! We would go to Star-lite golf. It was a indoor miniature golf place that used black lights and glowing paint. It was really cool and we were the only ones there on Wed. night. Tyler had a great time. His cake was so cool & yummy. But what could you say, Mrs. Donna made it and she is the best!!! And out of all the presents Me-me's was the best. She gave him a CELL PHONE. Yes that's right my nine year old has a cell phone. He was so excited that he could hardly go to sleep last night. He has been getting his friends phone numbers and calling all the family to give them his digits. Me-me even got a cool face plate that has the St. Louis Cardinals on it. She also gave him a case to carry it in, so maybe he won't lose it. I'll upload some photos later. (I don't have a camera anymore so I have to use my moms)

Also since it was Tyler's birthday on the 4th, Mine on the 7th and mine and Blake's anniversary on the 27th, Blake got the present. He got a new to him truck. It's sometimes not fair....
