Shayne's 3rd Birthday Hoe Down!

Shayne's 3rd Birthday

Ok ok, so I know his birthday was in July. I know it took me forever to post pictures. But here they are! It was a great party!!! Everybody had a ot of fun, including the birthday boy!! Thanks to everyone who made it!

Mostly everything was handmade by me. So worth all of the time! The kids played more with the shanty town than they did on the playground! Shayne was so excited that sheriff woody could make it to his party!

My Best Friends Wedding

MY BEST FRIEND IS MARRIED!!!!!

welcome to the club Melissa!

Melissa and I have been best friends since the 7th grade. We even kinda knew eachother in 2nd technically. We used to play together on the jungle gym before I switched elem. schools and we were happily reunited in Mrs. Mugia's Jr. High science class. We're pretty much inseperable. We still talk on the phone every day like teenagers. It's so much more fun to do when you're supposed to be working haha. Melissa and her new Hubby Chris are my son's godparents. (Shayne got to be the ringbearer) They always spoil him rotten. What kind of kid get a Halloween gift?? My kid. I love Chris and Melissa, and I'm so happy for them! However, I already told Chris that Melissa is keeping her maiden name. It's too hard to learn a new one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They had a wonderfull wedding!!!!

This is my Shaynie giving puppy kisses to the flower girl..............ewwww sorry val. Marissa doesn't seem to care though!!!!!!

I SUCK

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM...................

wow, I suck at keeping up with this blogging thing. I put everything up on facebook. But blogging is so much better! I really need to get into a better habit of doing it. I also need to get into the habit of actually telling people about my blog lol. I wanted to use it for family to see what I'm up to..... yet I haven't told a single family member lol. ANYWAY I have sooooooo.... or should I say SEW much to do! Lots of costumes to make before Halloween! I love Halloween. I'll put pics as they are completed. Here's what I'm working on:

Bridal Robe for my bff Melissa (DONE) perfect for when she was getting her hair/makup done!
Newborn size lion costume for my nephew Emerson (almost done) needs a fitting and then I can finish it
Adult size "toothless the dragon" mascot costume to appear at my nephew Landon's 5th Bday party
Adult Saloon girl costume for my sister Katie
Adult Rapunzel costume add on piece for work
Adult sexy pink tube dress for a sexy energizer bunny costume for my friend melanie
Wendy costume for me
Cap'n Hook costume for my hubs
peterpan costume for Shayne
tink costume for Lylah
maybe a thor costume for my hubs
and maybe a sexy peacock costume for me.


as you can see I have SEW much work to do. I'm exhausted! Tomorrow I'm starting the dragon head. Wish me luck!!!!

A few weeks back we went Apple Picking with the kids!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I had fun, not so much anyone else though. I take that back. Shayne had fun. Nathan was pretty miserable, Lylah didn't care. LOL

I guess I had visions of grandure in my head about our apple picking photo shoot. I expected a grassy shady flat orchard. We got a dry, dirty, hot, sweaty, push a stroller up and down hill (well Nathan did- hence his miserableness) exhausting treck for apples that are cheaper to buy in the store.

BUT- I got alot of good pictures, and I think it was something fun and new to try. \

NEXT TIME- researching the orchard before I drive out there.

HERE ARE SOME PICS!!!
