Engagement Party

What do you thing of when you hear engagement party?  Well, my family attended my friend's engagement party this weekend and it was AWESOME!!  It was a lot of work getting it going and making sure everything fell into place but the end result was well worth it.  

She had The Pizazz Band come and preform.  

This was the first time I had seen them preform except on videos and they were GREAT!!!

Savanah had a ball!  She started dancing soon after the band started playing and she didn't stop until they stopped singing.  They even let her get up on stage and dance with them.

This party was a luau theme so there was a contest for the best dressed outfit.  Savanah waited until the contest started to say she wanted to go up there so I threw her on an outfit and ran up on stage with her.  She ended up winning.  She was so excited!

We all had a great night with family and friends!  I am so glad that the engagement party was such a success!

Our Garden This Week

Well, this is a little late but...

When we went out to check the garden on Sunday, we had yellow squash and more zucchini.

Our plants are growing really big!

The corn has shot up, its about 3 feet tall now.  The tomato plants are getting really big and have small tomatoes on them.  The squash and zucchini plants are so big they are taking over the pepper plants.  I hope the peppers still grow.

The girls were excited that we got more stuff from our garden.  They were really excited about how BIG the zucchini was.

We picked most of the stuff that needed picking and brought it in.  Guess we will be having squash and zucchini for supper soon!

A Trip to the Zoo

My girls have been wanting to go to the zoo for a while now.  Finally, Sunday, we are going to take the girls to the zoo!  They are going to love all of the animals, actually seeing them in person.

I was looking at the website and found that they are showing a 4D movie

Dora & Diego.  My girls are going to LOVE that!

I can not wait to see the girls faces when they find out where we are going.  I haven't told them that we are going so it is going to be a BIG surprise. I think I am just going to wait until we pull in and they see the signs.

I will take plenty of pictures to share after we get home!

A Blankie Birthday for My 3 yr old

My daughters favorite thing has to be her pink "silky" blankie.  So when we asked her what kind of party she wanted she said a "blankie burfday".  So here are some pictures of the party.  She really had a great time!

I used pink tissue paper to hang to look like her pink blankie.

For some odd reason, Sarah, my 3yr old has also been stuck on Hot Peppers.  Whenever someone would ask her what she wanted for her birthday she would say "ummm....Hot peppers".  Everyone thought this was really cute.  Well, after looking around to buy her toy hot pepper with no luck, I decided to make her one.  Here is what I came up with:

My cousin even bought her a jar of hot peppers which was so exciting for her!  She has been eating those things up this week!

We had a great turn out for her party and a lot of fun!  I love birthday parties!

Our Family Garden

My husband and I have been living in this house for going on 7 years and have only ever planted grass.

Finally this year we have started our very own garden. Yay! I am so excited!
This is a family project. Our girls really loved helping with the planting and now with the watering. We started the garden Easter weekend and already have plants coming up from our seeds we planted.

We did have a little mole decide he wanted to travel through and distroyed a few of our plants but we took care of him.


I love seeing the girls faces when we go out and there is a new plant growing. They are really excited because they helped plant everything. I can not wait until we actually get to start picking the vegetables that we grew.
The girls are REALLY going to love that!
