Sarah's 21st Birthday

Last Saturday we celebrated Sarah's 21st birthday. I mentioned before that her friends had bailed on her when it came to going out to the club... and how I was now left to entertain her and make her birthday a fun and memorable one. She was disappointed that the Chuck E. Cheese thing fell through because ours no longer serves beer. So after much thought and stress we finally decided to take her to Hooter's.... because as my hubby put it "Sarah enjoys a nice pair of boobs as much as any man".... I died laughing and said "you're right".... so it was decided that Hooter's would be a great place to take her. We didn't tell her where we were going until we got there... and she loved it!

But before we went to Hooter's Steffie helped me bake her a cake... she wanted German Chocolate....

I forgot to take pics of the surprise process that followed.... but I bummed a shot of Tequila from my son... and hollowed out a hole for it in the bottom layer of the cake... covered the shot glass with plastic wrap.... and proceeded to frost the cake.... no one was the wiser.

Here are our pics from Hooter's

Now here is the video of Sarah cutting her cake and finding her surprise... her first legal shot.... oh be careful of lil ears... there may be some not so family friendly words in here... I can't remember what all was said...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SARAH!!

Happy Birthday Lil Steffie!

Just wanted to wish my baby girl Steffie a very Happy 4th Birthday!!! She had a great party at the park with friends and family.  She was sooo tired afterwards... but of course all wound up.... she cried when her Daddy told her she would never be 3 again.... I told her that I wanted to be 3 too... she quickly got over it and we snuggled as she drifted off to sleep.  Here are a few pics....

Top Droppers For September

I haven't been around in a few days because I've been really busy with birthdays... so I have a lot of updating to do in the coming days. We celebrated Sarah's 21st birthday on Saturday... so I have pics and updates on that. And tomorrow is lil Steffie's 4th birthday... so I will have pics and updates on that as well. Getting everything ready and doing our bi-weekly shopping has kept me far away from my computer. We also celebrated my niece's 5th birthday on Sunday. Tomorrow' s celebration should do it for a few weeks on the parties so hopefully I can get back to my regular blogging schedule. I've really missed all of my blog friends and have a lot of catching up to do. I also have some awesome new awards to share :).... so thank you to those who shared them with me... I'm looking forward to passing them on.

But for now I want to thank my Top Droppers for September.... I really do appreciate your visits and comments.... and I hope you'll keep coming back

Harvest Blessings and Happy Mabon To All

Today is the first day of Fall..... Mabon pronounced (May-bon).... or as we call it simply Harvest. It is a time of balance when both dark and light are equal. I'm sure you've noticed that the days are shorter and the darkness of night is coming earlier and lasting a bit later..... at this point the light and dark are equal. But now the nights will slowly become longer and the light of day will become shorter. We feel the air cool as the crisp leaves change color and fall to the ground. The gardens are filled with the fruits of our labors and it's time to celebrate the bounty that Mother Earth has given us. It's a time of feasting and celebration..... but it is also the time to gather those remaining fruits and vegatables and store them before the dark time arrives.

This is my favorite time of year because the heat of summer is cooling.... Mother Earth gives us such amazing colors to enjoy.... and to me this begins the times of celebration. We celebrate our accomplishments and give thanks for the blessings that we have received. Here in our home we celebrate many birthdays during this time.... my children, myself and husband have birthdays in the fall.... our wedding anniversary is later in the fall as well. We celebrate our ancestors.... and we remember those who have passed.... we celebrate their lives and the memories they left for us. And of course we celebrate the tradition of Thanksgiving and prepare for the long celebration of the winter holidays. So for me the holiday season starts here.... on this first day Fall... the Mabon Harvest.

I Wish you all a bountiful Harvest.... and Beautiful Fall.... and many bright blessings....
