Thursday Thoughts

I just had to share something that happened to my kids and I yesterday.  We went to KFC for dinner Wednesday night before Jillian's dance class.  I sat them down while I went and ordered our food.  As I past through the end of the line I noticed two young children who were close to my kids ages even a girl and a boy.  But what I mainly noticed was how unruly they were acting, and how the parents were not only at different tables than they're children but that they weren't even paying attention to them.  Now I'm a parent of 2 and of course my children get out of hand and can get a little loud every now and then.  But you better bet that I'll be on them.  I don't take to well to being embarrassed, just ask my family!  As I sat there with my 2 young children, I was so proud at how well they were behaving.  They were eating their food and sitting still. I kind of had a moment, it was pretty awesome.  Just then as the unruly children and their parents left an elderly woman came up to me and my children and said, " I want to complement you on how well behaved your children are."  I just know I was grinning from ear to ear, and beaming with pride and joy!  I told her that we try and that they have their moments!  She kind of snickered and said, "well, apparently some people don't even try."  She went on to talk to my kids and I, and I continued to be one proud Momma!  I had to brag and of course I had to document this!!

It's another surprise

This post is about a month old.  For 2 reasons, 1.  I have been super busy and haven't had the time to post it and, 2.  My best friends birthday is actually today!  Happy Birthday Cassie!!

Like our styling outfits!!  I, along with some help of my sister's, threw Cassie a surprise 31st, 80's themed birthday party!!  The best part.....she had absolutely, no earthly idea!!

I even found this totally 80's dress at the goodwill!

Our crew, and our kiddo's.  Most of them.  There were a few missing.  Wow girls!!  Can you believe we have all those and more.  Silly but I love this picture, it means so much to have my long time friends and their kids in my life!

I found our 80's outfits at Target, leggings and all!!

My sis-in-law, ordered the fake Raybans from ebay.

Cassie's Mom was nice enough to lend me some old pictures of Cassie and of course I had a ton.  So I made 4 different banners of pictures!  One of my favorite parts!

Purple and neon colors were everywhere.  And apparently post it's were invented in the 80's, so I let the kids go crazy and put post it's every where.  I think they even put one on the dog!

Here she is sans the post it, but sporting her Raybans!!

A splatter painted, neon rainbow cake for the birthday girl!

Make a wish, and make it a good one!!

Love making this cake!  It looks awesome and tastes good too.  Tutorial soon to come!

We danced the night away!  A little line dancing and some cha cha slide!

My little man, he ate the candy!  And loved every bite, until he dropped it all.  Darn!

The girls of course, helped her open her gifts.  They're so sweet!  It was a great party, and a great surprise!  I love to party plan but love it more when everyone has such a good time!

Happy Birthday Cass!!  We love you!!

I'm actually planning another party as I type.  Our annual It's Fall Ya'll party!  But before that I get to stand by my Dad as he says I Do, to an amazing woman.  We are so blessed they are together and making us one big happy family!!  Details soon to come!

Wordless Wednesday

Saturday's Top 5 Laughs

I am so excited to be back to posting Saturday's top 5 laughs!! It's been way too long!

1.In ballet/tap class, Jillian's teacher told them they were gonna be monkeys, because they were dancing to a jungle book song. Jillian got very mad and said, "no we are ballerinas!!"  Not just once but twice!  What can I say the girl is a ballerina!

2.Wyatt loves to play ball! One evening we walked by a ball court where some kids were playing basketball and Wyatt shouted Ball! Then the kid made his shot and Wyatt clapped and cheered for him! We got a ball player on our hands!

3.Again with the ball loving, at dinner one evening the tv was on and the news flashed a basketball game. Wyatt was glued!! We just watched him, watch tv! So cute!

4. Jillian is such a smarty! I don't always mean that as brain smart but as a smart mouth! Her newest saying to us when we tell her to do something is, Oh no, no no my friend! Where she came up with that I don't know!

5. I bought the kids Halloween buckets for trick for treating. One morning getting ready for work and the kids for school, Randy and I looked over at Wyatt and there he sat in the floor with his bucket on his head! Pretty darn cute!!

Again I'm so glad to be back posting my funnies from the week! As always I'm linking up with Melissa at The Mommyhood Chronicles. Come join us! Have a happy weekend!

Wordless Wednesday/Huber's Trip

Dear God,

 Thank you our dear heavenly Lord for this day you have blessed us with.  We are truly great full for the time you have given us.  Thank you Dear Lord for Randy's positive PET scan results.  I was moved to tears when the nurse told us his cancer was gone.  THANK YOU LORD!  A prayer answered!  Thank you Dear Lord for all the many loving people who have prayed right along with us for this awesome news!  You have given our family great hope for the future.  I ask of you Oh Lord to still be with us as Randy goes through the last three rounds of Chemo.  I know it's tough on him Lord, but please let him know your presence.  He can do this!  We are more than half way through now.  THANK YOU DEAR LORD, for seeing us through this difficult time.  You have been our guiding light through and through.  Please watch over our children as they watch their Daddy fight cancer.  I can't imagine what they must be thinking but don't let them worry Lord.  Let them know that everything is going to be all right.  Thank you Dear Lord for giving me the strength to stand by his side and fight right along with him.  It's hard sometimes Lord, but I know you wouldn't give me more than I can handle.  Thank you Dear Lord for all the modern medicine that has killed the cancer and the wonderful nurses and doctors who have mapped out this treatment plan.  I pray to you Lord to ask for you to continue watching over us all.  Help get through the day and to be thankful for what you have given us.

THANK YOU OH LORD!

AMEN

Wyatt @ 16 months, a little late!
