Bailey's New Purple Zebra Room

For Bailey's birthday we redid her room in purple zebra. I used sheets of zebra duct tape to cover the switch plates and furniture inserts. We covered her desk chair with zebra upholstery fabric too.

Here is the big purple beanbag chair that she got from Meme & Pobby.

Here is my big girl lounging in her new surroundings! Bailey is loving her new space!

Birthday Night Out

This year for my birthday, I went out with friends. We started at Guadalajara Hacienda for a wonderful Mexican dinner.

And a spectacular birthday dessert!
Then we went to Pete's Dueling Piano Bar to sing the rest of the evening.

I had such a great time and am truly blessed to have such wonderful friends!

Birthday Cake

Christian and the kids got me this yummy chocolate mousse cake from Elite Treats for my birthday! We also had a great birthday dinner out at Texas Roadhouse.

Bailey's Purple Room

This year for Bailey's (never ending) birthday, we redid her room in purple and zebra. We still have a little bit to go, but here is what we have done so far.

Can't wait to finish with all the finishing touches.

Galveston: Day 1

For Thanksgiving week, my Great Aunt Ginny invited to go to Galveston for the week. She also invited my folks. We stayed at the Silverleaf's Sea Side Resort. The resort had a mini golf course and Grandma and the kids started with a round of golf.

After a few rounds of mini golf, we went to the Rainforest Cafe to celebrate my dad's and Bailey's birthdays.

Here is Aunt Ginny and my mom with Cha! Cha! - The adventurous and brave red-eyed tree frog.

To top off the meal, we ordered a volcano. Then it was off to Moody Garden's and the festival of lights.What a fun filled day. Going to the beach tomorrow :0)

New Bike

Grandma & Pops got Bailey a bike for her birthday.

Bailey's Special Day

Today was an early release day for the kids. We had Bailey pick a special friend to celebrate her birthday. Here is a picture of Audrey, Bailey and Jack getting ready to sing happy birthday.

After pizza and cake, we went to the Children's Museum of Houston A great time was had by all. Here are a few pictures from the Museum.

Had a great time, but I think this just might be the last time we go to the Children's Museum. My kids are just getting too big!

Purple Hippo

Look what came in the mail today...

Aunt Sissy sent Bailey a purple hippo pillow pet for her birthday!

Bailey's Celebrates Early

Meme and Pobby came down to help out with the kids and while they were here, we celebrated Bailey's birthday. Here she is all smiles with her BIG gift!

Opening the package to reveal a big purple bean bag chair.
She also celebrated with a chocolate peanut butter cupcake.

Bailey's birthday isn't until the 19th, so we'll be celebrating again.

Reunion and 80th Birthday Party

We all got together for Jean Jean's 80th birthday. Relatives came from near and far to help celebrate this milestone birthday! Here is a picture of the great grandchildren: Jack, Bailey, Jacqulyn, Sam and Lauren

Me and the kids :0)
Jean Jean and her children - Elaine, Lance and Esther Not sure who these crazy kids are ;0)

I love the back drop that Esther made for the occasion. The pictures all turned out wonderfully and Jean Jean said it was her best birthday party yet!

Birthday Cupcake

We had lots of birthdays to celebrate this week so I make "birthday" cupcakes! The picture does not do these justice. I put them in the freezer to they would make the trip to school in Jack's backpack. That is why the plastic is a little foggy.

I put a cupcake in a Solo 9oz. clear cup, piped on some chocolate icing, and added a few mini chocolate chips. The whole cup fits perfectly in a Wilton's party bag. I tied it off with some ribbon and a fork. These would be great for a bake sale!

Jack Turn's SEVEN

Jack has been celebrating his birthday for weeks now, but the 14th of April was his real birthday. He had a wonderful birthday! He is looking so big with his new hair and toothless grin.
