Happy Birthday Mom!!!

I want to wish my mom a very happy birthday today! She's a saint. She's been there for me through thick and thin, and I appreciate all she does for me and my family! She's also an amazing grandma. I love her so much and hope she has a really great day!

Misty hosted a birthday party for her on Sunday. It was a lot of fun. Nadine made her favorite german chocolate cake.

Wyatt and Bryan with their grandma. Both taller than her now... crazy!
Hayden and Brady, actin' cool and texting. Whatev.....
Me and my mommy....
Nadine and Taliece. Sorry Nadine, I had to put it on here. I think it's a good one. :)

SYTYCD TOUR

I know this was quite a while back, but I thought I'd post some pics. This night was such a blast for Mike and I. (and Patrece and Cory). Mike got tickets for me for my birthday. We were on the 9th row! It was so fun to see them all up close. I didn't get a lot of really great pics because I was mostly video taping the whole time. Oh well... you get the jist. And if you can't tell, that's Gev in the dress. He was the highlight of the show. He was putting on all kinds of crazy costumes just to be on stage with Courtney. It was hilarious!

Also, Angie left me a comment encourging all women to get out and vote tomorrow, and I'm with her! Let's show a little GIRL POWER! VOTE, VOTE, VOTE!

Happy Birthday Hayden!!!

Happy Birthday to my little "Munch Mouth". I love you so much and hope you have the best birthday ever! You're such a cute and funny kid and everyone loves to be around you. 10 years old is a big one, so live it up buddy! Have a great day... Love, Yo Mama!

Happy Birthday Wyatt!!!

To my sweetest little boy... not so little anymore I'm afraid. I wish you the best 13th birthday ever! You are the light of my life. I love you so much, and love the young man you've become. You never cease to amaze me. I'm proud and honored to be your mom. Luv u.

Happy 60th Dad!!

My dad is truly one in a million, and I come to realize this more and more the older I get. I look up to him more that any other man I know. He has been such a great example to me my entire life, and has always been supportive in everything I've done... whether he thought it was the best decision or not I'm sure. He sacrificed many things in his life to make a better one for me. I'm so happy to call him my dad and I hope he has a great 60th birthday! (dang Dad... you're gettin' old) :) Love you always!

CRAP!

I really don't know what my problem has been lately, except for the fact that I've been out of my mind busy! With school, sports and birthdays... my days are full. So for now I'll give you a taste of the bday party we had for my buddy Patrece on Saturday night. All our favorite friends were there. It was a ton of fun! 

I'm off to see Billy Idol at The Joint at Hard Rock Hotel this weekend, so I'll try to get some good pics of that.

I will try to rededicate myself to blogging next week. Promise. :)

Thankful Thursday

Today I am thankful for all the nice comments and sweet gifts I got for my bday! You all were so nice to me and I love you all so much! I especially want to thank my blogging BFF Mindi. I went out to my mailbox on my birthday expecting nothing but bills, and I'll be danged... she flippin' sent me a gift in the mail! It was the cutest Halloween decoration that I LOVE so much and the initial "H"... for my name of course. So I have to publicly thank her for completely making my day by being so thoughtful! You rock Mindi, and I'm so glad I met you! :)

Oh and sorry I've been out of the blogging world lately. We went out of town and I've been freakin' out of my mind busy since I got home. I'll be back to commenting on all your sweet blogs just as soon as I can find my "marbles".

Happy Birthday to Me!

Today is the day I've been waiting for..... to finally turn 25!.... Oh wait, you don't think I look my age? Well I took this picture so early this morning. Don't hold it against me... just let me have my moment.

Ok, Ok, maybe I'm a tad over 25... WHATEVER!

Zach's Bday

Last week was my nephew, Zach's birthday. He turned 20, which is crazy because he was 4 years old when Mike and I got married! Man I'm old! Anyway it was a fun day at Lori's house. Of course, she had the best food ever and tons of it. So, we just hung out and ate and laughed a lot.

This picture is of me and Zach's girlfriend, Jessica. I showed up and low and behold... we were both wearing the same t-shirt. I guess great minds think alike!
Wyatt, Mike, Zach, Jessica, Hayden and Grandma (Lori) just chillin' in the family room.

Zach, blowing out his 20 candles.
Zach and Jessica. Aren't they darling?!

Happy Birthday Traci!

Today is my sis-in-law's birthday and I just have to let her know how much I adore her. We went out the other night for the bdays and Hayden told her she looked 37. So we'll go with that. Happy "37th" birthday Traci! We love ya! :)

This is a picture of Traci and her "guyfriend" Gerald. You can tell he just adores her and she seems happier than ever!

Happy Birthday Lori!

Today is my mother-in-law's birthday. I love her so much and am so glad she was born! She has been so good to me and my kids and I appreciate all she does for us! She is so smart and I really look up to her. Thanks for everything and have a great day Lori!

Happy Birthday Aubry!

To my sister, Aubry today! She's 32, and I just want to tell her how much I love and miss her. She lives in CA and we don't see her very much. She's such a free spirit and I really admire her. I don't even have a recent photo of her... how sad is that. Anyway, hope she has the best bday ever! Love ya sis!

Happy Birthday Tristan!

Today is my nephew, Tristan's birthday! He is 2 years old and just the cutest, sweetest and funniest little boy. My boys absolutely ADORE him too! He had his birthday party last night and got hooked up with some really cool stuff. As usual though, all he cared about was the ball he got. Funny kid! The picture above was taken on Christmas day, but again... the ball.

Thankful Thursday

5 things I am thankful for this week...

1. I am thankful for my brother Nate. He is turning 30 tomorrow!!! Happy Birthday little bro! He's such a fun-loving guy and would give you the shirt off his back if you needed it.


2. I am thankful for Hair Dye. Just got my hair did yesterday... nothin' better!

3. I am thankful for No More Homework. I was just informed that my 6th grader doesn't have any homework for the rest of the year. Halelujah!!!!!

4. I am thankful for Books. Lately I have turned in to a total bookworm. I don't know why I'm enjoying it so much lately, but I am.

5. I am thankful for Extra-Strength Excedrin. I've needed it lately... that's all I have to say about that.

Happy 40th Todd

It was our good friend, Todd's 40th birthday last Wednesday, so we all went out to Montello, NV (Cory's mom's place) to celebrate. We had LOTS of fun! Todd is such a great guy, you know I had to give a shout out! We love ya and you don't look a day over 29! :)

The guys thought it was such a bright idea to ride their bikes out there on Friday night. The lowest temp hit 36 before they got there. We planned on them walking in like "Dumb and Dumber" having snot frozen to their faces... It wasn't that bad thankfully, but the girls were the smart ones. We rode in car with heat!

Mike's new scope

I gave Mike the scope he really wanted for his gun. He was pretty excited!

Me, Misty and Tiff at the party.

Mike's Bday

Mike and Misty had their birthday party on the same night. Mike really got hooked up. He had just flown in from Texas, and we had a really fun party for him. It was so nice of everyone to show up this time of year!

The Wadsworth's and the Barber's gave him these cool new shoes.

Alan & Bonnie gave him these sweet new boots.

Misty's Bday

These are pictures of Misty's birthday party. We had such a good time. Tiff and I set up "Misty's Salon" in my bedroom. We had fake champagne and chocolate strawberries. She opened gifts while soaking her feet, and then Tiff and I gave her a pedicure. Tiff also gave her a shoulder massage. She really got pampered that night.
