2nd set of party pictures :-)

Okay...so it was just a user error....some of the pictures were too BIG....why blogger just wouldn't tell me that I don't know...but anyway...I finally figured it out and here are the pictures from Kaitlyn's birthday party.
Kaitlyn is our sweet little friend that we met when we first moved back home. She is our realtor's baby and my mom was also keeping her during the day until our Memaw moved in with my parents. She is just a few months younger than Jack and we've already arranged their marriage!! Hailey, like a light switch, changed moods and became quite the little entertainer. She was very happy at this party. Jack had TWO pieces of cake here and more icecream! Oh my goodness! I can't believe he didn't throwup that night :-P
So I just had to post some pictures of when Jack and Kaitlyn were little! This was around Easter of 2006. How cute are they?!? Janice, her mom, was always jealous that my baby boy had more hair than her baby girl :-) This was their first Halloween. Jack was Nemo and Kaitlyn was a Jack-o-Lantern. We went trick-or-treating around my mom's neighborhood. How time has flown by!

1st set of pictures....

For some reason I could load the pictures from my Mom's 50th B-day and Ralston's B-day party, but I'm having trouble with Kaitlyn's party.....I'll keep trying....



My mom is taking turning 50 like a champ! I think she is happier now than she has ever been :-)
This was Ralston eating his Dinosaur cupcake-cake! The kids loved all the dino-stuff at the party!
Dose one for Jack....He loves cupcakes and icecream....Hailey not so much...
If you can pick Hailey out in this picture (in pink) you will see her lovely "look". She was in a " don't take my picture" mood....however at the next party that totally changed and it was only an hour later. Oh the life with a four year old little drama queen! It's never boring :-)

So I tried three times to upload pictures from this weekend but no luck....I guess blogger is having some technical difficulties. My mommy turned 50 this past Friday!! We took her out to eat....she wanted Krystals (don't you just love her) and then went back to the house for icecream cake! The kids had lots of fun helping Grandma blow out her candles. It was party weekend for us because the next day we went to Ralston's third birthday party. It was loads of fun for the kids, and adults too :-) Then off to Kaitlyn's second birthday party right after that! Again great times! But let me tell you...my kids were so hyped up on sugar after that they were ruined. I think we just went home and sent them to bed. It still took all of Sunday to get them completly detoxed! I will try very hard to post some pictures of the fun filled weekend tomorrow. I'm actually going to try to get to bed before 11pm tonight...that's like a HUGE accomplishment for me!

Santa came last week...But the BRAMLETTS came this weekend!!

So me and the kids have only been counting down the days since last June when our very dear friends, the Bramletts, would come back to visit...and get their car :-) First we were telling Hailey Turkey Day, but Brett Farve won that holiday, then we thought before Christmas, no...that's when they moved from TX to FL, so we got them for New Year's!! It was worth the wait!! We had a wonderful weekend....too short but we are so thankful they are close and know that we can go see them or they can come back up whenever!

This is Sage, Ralston, Hailey and Noah at church Sunday night. They were so ready to go play with each other!!
Sarah and Larry got each other a Wii for Christmas. They are so the cool kids now! We want them to come over every night :-) (But they have to bring their game) We all went to Tabby and Ben's Sunday night. This is Larry and Ben boxing each other. We locked the babies up anyway we could :-) Just kidding!! This is Riley, he's Sarah's little one! He is our happy baby, smiles for everyone. He'll be one in March. Such a cutie!Okay...back to the boxing...you know you are getting old or out of shape when you have to take a break after each game...your arms get so sore!! The kids did so good for it to be so late! Sage was reading the kids stories. Noah doesn't look too impressed here! He's probably heard this one A Hundred times!! Mine however thought the air mattress was the coolest trampoline ever!! And love ALL of Sage's stories! Poor Isabelle's room survived all the chaos thank goodness :-) Ms. Tabby-Abby and Ms. Brama-Lama-ding-dongWe played a little Wii with Darren since he worked the night before. Sarah boxed him (they love to fight each other) and she knocked him out in less than 30 seconds!!Then it was my turn...I knocked him out too...but the next round he knocked me out so we're even!On New Year's Eve we went to the church to play games, eat, and have fun! We played Are you Smarter Than a 5th Grader. Tabby and Andrea so won that! And then we played Fact or Crap, my mom won that won....she knows her Crap!! Tabby said it's cuz she's full of it :-) Here is Allyson (Dawn and Mike's baby). She has the cutest laugh in the world! She kind of laughs at you and knows just the right moment to do it :-) We were cracking up at her! Okay...before the night was over we had to get a picture of all the girls.

Me, Sarah, Amber, Tabby, Dawn, Andrea
Goofing off!


Hope all had a great New Year's eve!

And I want to say Happy Anniversary to my Mom & Dad! Jan. 1st 1977 they got married! I'm trying to find their wedding album so I can post some pictures from their special day!
