photo by Jennifer Williams I am so very happy to say goodbye to 37 so I just thought I would go ahead and glorify this birthday with the number in the title. I really do NOT like odd numbers for whatever reason and this year has had some ups but some pretty (weighty) downs too….
It’s All Good
We ventured out to our little, local zoo today for some Easter-y fun. They host an event with a cute little egg hunt and photos with the Easter Bunny and music, etc. Essentially the kids help pick up recycled eggs and then trade them in for chocolate. It’s a pretty good system, actually. We rode…
80 New Years
Today my father turned 80 years old. I wasn’t there to celebrate with him but I was there in spirit and of course through the phone when I called to wish him both Happy Birthday and Happy New Year. He roasted a duck just like he does every year, it’s his favorite birthday tradition. And…
I wish she would have stayed
Tim came into the room with me and helped me get undressed. Of course, he is always willing to do that. Only this time it was for a different reason than usual. I was about to give birth to our baby. It was our second baby boy’s birthday and I was both excited, full of…
A “Cher Bebe” Kinda Party
As we walked through the front door the smell from the huge pot of gumbo immediately accosted me. In a good way. Kids were already playing and running in and out from the back door to the living room. I walked out myself, only after getting many hugs from good friends and my glass of wine was…
Party Time!
Kids + a gym = loads of fun, right? So we hit The Little Gym for K’s birthday celebration. And I *think* the kids had fun. We’ll let the pics tell the tale…
At Three
My sweet Katie-Kay is three today. Aw, it’s like a little poem. And really, so is she. I have so much joy with her in my life, it’s hard to describe. Of course I love shopping for cute outfits and headbands that she doesn’t leave in her hair for long and brushing her hair and…
If you ask me, 40 is the new 25. But no one asked me so…
We have a really good friend named Chandler. You know, like from the show Friends.Funny thing… He’s THAT good of a friend of ours. And he is just as easy to pick on. 
Happy 40th (again) Chandler, we love ya! And I won’t call you an old man because well, 40 is just around the corner…
Birthday Bonanza
We are back from Texas. From one home to another we traveled all week last week. I started out where I grew up. And landed where I got married and had 2 out of 3 of my babies. Tim and I even spent a night in the hotel where we sat and talked for hours…
Lego Bounce Party & MEM
We officially celebrated Little G’s birthday this weekend at the local bouncy place. He wanted a Lego party so I obliged. As per last week’s post on less stress, I kept things pretty simple and we had a good amount of kids. I did make the cupcakes from scratch and I decorated the treat bags…
