13 GOING ON 30!

My sister Stephanie just turned 30!!!  We threw a fun party for her at my parents house:)  We did a 13 going on 30 (the movie) theme. Here are some pics:

This is a phrase from the movie

Steph's mother in law made the cool posters:)

In the movie they eat Razzles so we got some of those for the party

Wishing Dust (when the girl in the movie wishes to be 30)

Just like in the movie when the boy gives the girl a doll house and he put her in the bath tub like this:)

Yummy Desserts my Mom and Josh made!

Josh, Parker and Zack

Dad and Mom!

The next 3 pics are fake magazine covers I made of steph.  In the movie the main girl works for a magazine.

And of course you can't have a 13 going on 30 party without having the movie playing:)

It was a lot of fun and a good turn out!  My mom has some more of the pictures on her camera...including me and Steph trying to reinact the Thriller dance:) he he..love you Steph! Happy Birthday!!!

Incase you haven't seen the movie...or want a refresher...here is the trailer:

A Dr. Seuss Baby Shower

Some of our best friends, Chris and Kelli are going to have a baby girl in March!  We are so excited for them and can't wait! A few weeks ago some friends and I threw a baby shower for her and so I wanted to share some pictures from it.  We decided to do a Dr. Seuss theme:

Diaper cake

Thing one and two cupcakes

Hortons clover cupcakes

Note to self: Never use cotton candy to make cupcakes again!  They dissolve and harden.

We had a fun spread including

Roast Beast: roast beef sandwhiches

Star Belly Sneech Jello Jigglers

Green eggs

Green cupcakes

Red and Blue fish Cookies

Yinks Pink Ink Drink

It was awesome that one of my friends Aly had a ton of Dr Seuss stuffed animals and we had one that Addy got for Christmas!

Dr Seuss decor

These cuties came out of Addys room where they were playing all dressed up as princesses

I found this with the school stuff in Michaels:)

 Aly also had a ton of books and so did my sis!

 I didn't get many pics of people because we took most the pictures on kelli's camera, but stole this one off her blog:)
It was a good turn out which i'm NOT surprised because Kelli is an awesome friend!  We had a fantastic time! 

Wind and a New Door

Not too long ago there was a HUGE wind storm!  So big that our screen door broke. (Not that it was in the greatest condition anyway, but this did it in.

Here is my own personal handyman hard at work putting a new one on.

Here is the old screen door.

Do you think the guys from the TV show American Pickers will find use out of this?  I need to get it off my front porch:) 

Here is the after pic!  I love it!  Now if only we could have another wind storm to play a number on our other screen door!

The Superbowl Party 2011

It has been a while since we have blogged and so I thought i'd blog about the Superbowl last night and take from there to play catch up:)

Well...sadly the Patriots didn't go to the Superbowl, but we still had a little get together. It was a lot of fun and decked out with delicious Superbowl food!

Addy usually isn't that much of an eater, but she was downing these ribs Jason made:)

The yummy food selection: Jason made a ton of awesome food including Mt. Nachocheesmo As Seen On "Man Vs. Food".  Also pictured are things including the awesome home made mac n cheese Teresa made but minus the drinks and also the cake Erin and Cody made and the treats my Dad brought.
