It has been quite some time since I last posted. I was doing so well, but then I left for Texas March 13th and it kind of threw me off track (note my last post was March 12th). But I've almost downloaded all of our pictures and will try to get caught up on everything (obviously more for us than anyone else).
P.S. - back your photos up on an external hard drive b/c my friend, Sadie's computer crashed... luckily they had recently transferred all there things to their external hard drive or all, literally, would have been lost.
So my birthday party was a bLaSt!!! Well, I had fun. I won't speak for anyone else. It was suppose to be a night full of fun games you'd play at parties when you were a kid. I, or course, participated in all the events... except Bobbing for Apples. I was NOT about to have my mascara run & my hair drenched at my own party!
Thanks to all of my friends who came to celebrate with me! And a very SPECIAL thanks to those who brought treats to share, who stayed late to help me clean up, who brought me such thoughtful gifts & who participated in the games (which was most important to me)! You guys are the best!
Now here are the pictures for your enjoyment. They're a bit blurry b/c I think the flash kept getting turned off somehow. Also, the pictures are really dark & I'm at work and cannot edit them right now. Sorry about that!
The Fruit Pizza I made. YuMmY!!!
Opening my gift from the Lees family. Everett picked out the card all by himself.
P.S. - Thanks for the wallet guys, I love it & I'm using it right now actually.

JOEL & ME!!!
He knows how much I love being dipped!
Now for some birthday videos. Disclaimer: I know my voice is a bit loud & clear as day in the videos. Embarrassing...yes! But hopefully they're enjoyable all the same.
The HAPPY BIRTHDAY song! Lincoln & Everett helped me blow out the candles.
P.S.- I have always felt a bit awkward when people sing Happy B-day to me... as you can tell by my facial expressions/ reactions.
Joel playing "Pin the Tail on the Donkey". I decided to throw him off guard and send him in the wrong direction. And boy...did I succeed!
He didn't appreciate me messing him up... so he decided to do a little pay back! Lucky for me, I have a GREAT sense of direction! I almost pinned the tail on the donkey PERFECTLY!
Bobbing for Apples!
In order of appearance: Jeff Sabin, Kevin Broadbent, Jimmy Wilson, AJ Creek & Everett
(Sorry the video is turned sideways. It's still a good video & Everett is SUPER cute trying to bob for apples)
Congrats to AJ Creek for "bobbing" the fastest!

If you know me, you know that for some reason I CANNOT stand Hannah Montana/ Miley Cyrus. So we found the absolute PERFECT pinata for my b-day bash... you guessed it... Hannah Montana. Here's a little video to show the DESTRUCTION of Hannah Montana.

Thanks again to everyone who made my birthday so special! I really appreciate it. I couldn't ask for BETTER friends & family. Love you all!

hahahaha, I laughed out loud at your comment about how your voice is heard in the videos, maybe the microphone just likes you
Or maybe my voice is just SUPER LOUD & ANNOYING! I think that might be it. I'm a little paranoid about it!
How fun! You guys know how to throw a party!
Beanie! Cracked up at these videos. Miss you!
Mandy...update you dang blog! Come on sista...if you have time to watch Bones at work, you have time to blog!
