Mama loves to PAAAAARTY!

Lia helped me put ladybugs on our front door for Sophie's party. She was very proud of herself and I thought it was very sweet.

I had ladybug citronella candles on stakes and that is what I tied the balloons to. (the propane tank was on its way to be refilled sorry its in the picture)

I highly recommend a candy bar, the kids made their own goody bags... actually alot of adults did too.

Here's the birthday girl! Man she's cute!!!
We could not have done it with out help! Matt and Melissa came early and helped with the waterslide and putting kabobs together. My mom made her amazing rice a roni salad, Erin brought cakes, my cousins made pasta salad and my 2nd moms, Pati, Kathy and Sherry, cleaned up my kitchen for me. Its a lot of work to feed almost 60 people. I made potato salad, cupcakes, baked beans, watermelon and we had little bags of chips to go along with steak and chicken kabobs and hot dogs. Everything tasted so good! It was such a fun afternoon!

Here is the really fun part!

This is the true definition of a classic picture!



Notice the legs at the bottom of this picture... I promise noone fell off!

Riley, I want to eat him up!





It was also my Grandma (GG's) Birthday so we got her a Martha's cake, YUM!

She makes me look short! Ha ha!!!

Lia did this. She emptied out all of her drawers.
Jen may be pregnant but I look like I'm carrying it for her, I shouldn't stand at this angle. I really do have amazing friends!
Sophie is very blessed.

Our Vacation!

We went to Disneyland for a few days to celebrate Sophie's birthday and just to get away! I wanted someone else to make the beds and clean the tub plus I wanted to hang out at a nice pool. So we renewed our passes for the fifth time and took off! Lia got to build a bear, get some legos and ice cream at Downtown Disney. She was loving it!

Here are the girls getting ready to go to the pool, might I add our hotel was so nice and the pool was AMAZING!
Isn't this the funniest bathing suit ever?!! I think its funnier than cute.
She makes us laugh...

We spent about an hour and a half in Innoventions, they have redone it since we've been and it was incredible! My favorite was the "nephew's room" for the Peter Pan story.
I'm telling you, she's the future American Idol.

I think this is the Muppet Show.
Sophie liked putting the glasses on too.
The maid service at the hotel organized our stuff, I was so happy!
Yes that really is hair on top of her head.



Billy got these Star Wars/ Muppet figurines, they are pretty funny. I do think Gonzo has a very inappropriate nose though.

Lia's first time on the tea cups, she loved it of course. She also went on the Matterhorn countless times! When Billy took her, she hopped off and said "Mommy's turn" so I had to go, and so on and so on.
This girl loves her daddy.

Oh! And here is another toy for Billy. If you push on his hat it plays the theme song. Lia and I got some "adorable" (atleast that is what I keep telling myself) Crocs because the shoes we brought gave us horrible blisters.
I forgot to put them up, but I was walking right next to Gary Busey and took a couple of pictures over my shoulder. He is not as freaky looking in real life, he looks very normal and has a nice smile!

OH!!! and even better than that, the Jabawakeez were there too and performed an impromptu routine, INCREDIBLE!!!
