Blast Off!

The weekend was very busy and totally successful. We partied it up at The Space & Rocket Center for Little Red's Birthday and Bush's Graduation. LR was in heaven checking out the rockets and other space paraphernalia. He rode the rides, climbed the rock wall and had tons of fun.

Congrats to Bush & Keke! We are so stinkin' proud. They are now on a cruise ship headed for the Bahamas. I don't know anyone that deserves it more...

Check out the shirt. It says "Actually I am a Rocket Scientist" Haha! I don't know what LR is doing in this photo...

Check out the cake! Holy cuteness, batman.

See the kid in the very middle, Yep, the little bitty one one with the red Crocs. That would be the fearless Little Red. He LOVED this ride.

LR climbing the rock wall. They tried to tell him he wasn't big enough, but he wasn't hearing it. He climbed higher than most of the big kids.

Mr. Sass and LR checking out the moon exhibit...

LR's favorite exhibit. This is the donation box. Ha!

I had a lovely Mother's Day with my mom. I am so lucky to have her. Mama, you are the best!

Thursday Throwdown

Today is Little Red's Easter Party at school. Please note that I did NOT mix up the days like the Valentine's Day Party debacle in which I was dubbed the worst mother ever. Nope, I bought the cookies, candy and eggs yesterday and put everything into his choo choo basket last night. I even took pictures of him before school! He was so very proud of his basket. When he saw the basket filled with eggs, he excitedly proclaimed, "Dat Easter Bunny bring me all dose eggs!" I went along with it and I can't imagine the smile that will be plastered across his cute little face when he sees the basket the Easter Bunny will be bringing on Easter day. I tried everything to get him to smile for the pictures, but he was way to into the contents of the basket and everything else going on...

Don't be judging the inside of my messy Yukon. Why oh why didn't I shut the door?

He was checking out a cutie patootie little girl with pig tails & a princess basket...

This cuteness was the result of me telling him to stop flirting with said little girlie. And just so you know I will be cleaning the Yukon out today.

I FINALLY got his attention, but what is up with that goofy look on his face? Is that supposed to be a smile?

We were playing Wii at my parents house this weekend. LR is a Dance Dance Revolution fool. He breaks it down like nobodies bizzness.

And here is my little lover boy just a swangin at the park. GiGi HATES this shirt, but it totally cracks me up.

Party Cuz It's My Birthday

Can someone send a memo to my boss about this being my Birthday WEEK and all? He actually wants me to do work. Lots of it. Whatever. I guess I'll humor him today, but I will NOT be productive tomorrow. I'm thinking about coming in late, taking a 3 hour lunch & leaving early. Good, plan huh?

While procrastinating, I've been thinking about all the awesome birthday parties I've had over years. Some of my most memorable were-
50's sock hop- 10th birthday
New Kids On The Block Party- 8th birthday
Strawberry Shortcake Party- 1st Birthday
Thanks, Mom. You rock (for having me and for throwing killer parties)!

I had a Bachelorette/Birthday Party in New Orleans for my 23rd thanks to Keke and several of my other friends. It was almost more fun than I could handle. Almost.

So far, Little Red has had:
Cowboy Party- 1st Birthday
Elmo Party- 2nd Birthday
This year will most likely be a "Wocket" Party- (that would be rocket, of course) LR is more than obsessed with outer space.

I love planning parties and all things Birthday (obviously)! I'm always looking for good ideas. What are your most memorable Birthday celebrations?

I am super excited about sharing all of my favorite things with y'all tomorrow. I promise, you won't want to miss it!

PARTY ON!
