party #1

So, Kaycey's first party was with my Dad, stepmom, and sister at our house. We made one of Kaycey's favorite meals, tomato soup with dumplings and a rotisserie chicken.

From Auntie, she got a pink aluminum baseball bat, iCarly trading cards, and a book.

From Grandpa Bo and Grandma Ria she got clothes, a soccer ball, make-your-own-stepping-stones, and a Ryan Braun Brewers shirt.

We got her a Wildlife Vet game for her Nintendo DS, an orange & pink Nike outfit, and soccer scrapbook stuff (paper, stickers, and a mini album).

Grandma B (my great-Grandma!) and Aunt Lorie stopped by the night before Kaycey's birthday and they gave her some animal cookie cutters--wrapped in a special K box!!

party #2

Here are shots from Kaycey's 2nd party, with my mom, Grandparents, sister, and cousin(and her husband and son, too!).

A razor kick scooter from Emma and Papa (my grandparents). I should've had it on video...Maddie was saying a prayer outloud, asking God for a dog.

a pink Aaron Rodgers jersey from my cousin, her husband, and son.

An American Girl doll scrapbook, soccer outfit for Kit, a puppy picture, watch, and turtle Webkinz from Grandma Tammy (my mom).

Friday night lights

So I put my camera on multi burst feature this past Friday night (about 10pm). I got this great shot of the lightning! Too bad, I have NO clue how to individualize the pictures taken in the series using multiburst. I haven't figured that out...

advice...

Never go to the grocery store while hungry and pregnant. (There were a few bags sitting on the island, too). While maybe just maybe it doesn't look like a whole lot of groceries for a family of 5, keep in mind, I don't know that I bought things to make a single meal. Yikes.

Lots of cereal (only the good kinds, of course--cocoa krispies, corn pops, honey smacks), doritos, tortilla chips, and pretzels. I bought a giant box of bomb pops, double stuffed mint oreos, tomato juice, candy (smarties, tootsie rolls, and kit kats) and drumsticks (ice cream cones). I rarely buy all that stuff! I'm more of a "salty" person, opposed to a "sweets" person. Okay, except for the mint oreos, thats a regular item in the house...

I have so much more to post, but I'll have to do it in pieces! More tomorrow, perhaps...

one of these days...

I am totally going to participate in the flashback Friday that my friends are doing. I don't have much old stuff. But I love seeing their stuff. Maybe I'll do a take back Tuesday or something so I don't have to wait until Friday : )
