My eyes popped open at about 8:30 this morning. I layed there listening but I didn’t hear the kids. My first thought that they were still asleep… yeah right. I went upstairs and found them quietly playing Barbie dolls. I told them to get dressed because it was pinata time! Lily was totally ready and [...]

Lily’s two best friends were at our house my 5:30pm. They were all very excited and ready to start the fun. Adeline knows me so well because once she got there she said “So Rose, what fun things do you have planned for us today?”. Do you know what I love about these girls? They [...]

When I first started talking to Lily about her birthday plans she didn’t want to do anything. She didn’t want a party and she didn’t want me to bring anything to her class. I told her we could plan something and invite the kids from her class. She was totally against it and said she [...]

Today I had a pretty perfect day! It started with Lily wanting JP to help her make me breakfast in bed. But since the fridge was pretty empty they had to get creative. JP brewed some coffee and Lily cut the cake. I mean coffee + birthday cake = coffee cake, right? Then as I [...]

This morning I didn’t get out of bed until I finished reading “The Help”. Every once in awhile I pick up a book that I can’t stop reading and this is one of them. Once I got to the end of the book I didn’t want it to be over. The movie has been out in theaters for a couple [...]

Today we finally had a chance to have JP open his birthday cards and present. We were all really excited! Me and JP have made jokes about having a “pool rules” sign out by the pool for a long time. I found a sign company and had it made. Don’t you love these rules? This [...]

Today is JP’s birthday! Do you remember what we got him for his birthday last year? We got him the neon sign that hangs in the tiki room. Seems like it should be pretty hard to top that, huh? Since we are out of town Lily and I are unable to give him his birthday [...]

I got something in the mail today that made me think back to a long time ago. When I was a little girl I always thought that maybe someday I would marry a cowboy. I figured that my perfect guy/cowboy would be tall and have brown hair, brown eyes and ride a horse… kinda like [...]
