Birthday Weekend

Another year has come and gone and now I'm a year older. We kicked off birthday weekend with a BBQ on Saturday, family, food, presents and CAKE. Then on Monday I got a pedicure with my best friend, more presents to open and dinner with more family. Then Jr took me for cheesecake at the Cheesecake Factory. Other than gaining a few pounds eating all the good food and dessert, I had a great birthday.

Let the good times roll

Jr's cousin Jim, his wife Theresa and their 3 kids came down for a weekend visit. The kids loved driving the golf carts around, & went swimming (they are crazy, the pool was so cold).We went out to Greasewood Flats.


Doin the boot skooten boogey with Alex

Alex just got her learners permit so Jr let her take the jeep for a spin.
You know what happens when Jr dares a teenager to jump in the pool? We all end up jumping in the pool for a midnight polar bear plunge with our clothes on.

No blonde jokes.

Check out my new do!

I couldn't resist

I loved Scarletts outfit so much I just had to have one for myself. I only wish I could have found polka dot leggings like hers. Scarlett and I are ready to hit the town.

Watch out Cyndi Lauper, here comes Scarlett

When I was growing up my mom used to make me some of the cutest outfits, she would even make us matching ones. For a family trip to Disneyland she made my brothers and I cute hawaiian shirts with matching shorts. I have always thought how awesome it was that she took the time to make us these outfits. Well I don't have any kids but I have nieces and nephews so I am having a blast making clothes for them. This is little miss Scarlett modeling her birthday outfit I made. Every little girl needs a zebra print skirt with polka dot leggings. For those that know me really well know I love Cyndi Lauper, her music, her outfits and her crazy hair. Girls just wanna have fun ya know!!!! So this is Scarletts Cyndi Lauper outfit, I think I should make me a matching one.
