Birthday Party Bash

It is party season over here!
We had a 4th of July party, then the following Saturday we had Merci's Rock Star party, and then in a few weeks we will have Ethan's birthday party.
All of these parties are not a problem, because I LOVE having parties.
I am a hospitable person, what can I say!

I was super excited to receive one of Wii's newest games BEFORE it was on sale to the public!

Birthday Party Bash




We got it the day of Merci's party!
We played around with it before the party, and were excited to use it if we ran out of stuff to do, which we didn't...but we haven't been so lucky for Ethan's parties in the past. We usually get rained out....BUT
I really think that this doesn't have to be used for a party, but as fun for the family in general.
You can play games, decorate, and even race to open presents (more fun things too, I was just busy preparing for Merci's party while my husband played around with the game) all with only your Wii remote...How FUN is that???

It was fun learning the ropes and seeing all the fun things to do.
We were not short on laughs, that is for sure!
I see a FUN family night in the future and definitely a back up plan for E's party!!!

Thank you Wii for providing so much fun for everyone!
Thank you Mom Central for this great opportunity!

The Par-TAY

The Glam station
The girls got all glammed up with sparkles everywhere, nail polish, necklaces and jewel tatoos.



The we decorated cardboard guitars

They turned out so cute!
I painted them black and then put the silver sparkle paint on, the girls embellished!

Punch in fake wine glasses and blow up microphones!

Some yummy ice cream cake!!

We also had a jam session with the guitars, and the girls made up dance routines, and we did High School musical Wii karakoe!

Wish I could post more, but don't know how to black out faces and don't want to put other peoples kids on here without permission.

NINE:: 9 :: NINE

Oh my. I just cannot fathom that MY daughter is 9 today. My little Merci. 4th grade this year.

I am so not old enough to have a 9 year old child, but I do! Here are some snippets from over the years!

We will be celebrating Rock Star style on Saturday night. Pictures to come!








Loosing her first tooth, now she's loosing molars...







MY ALL TIME FAVORITE!!!

Wordless Wednesday ::4th of July::

NKOTB

I can't even believe I went to see New Kids on the Block!
I was never a huge fan, because I was pretty young, and was not allowed to listen to them...haha.
But I was old enough to know they were cool and to learn the songs anyway!

I remember riding my bike, and having a piece of paper with "Step 1: We can have lots of fun
Step 2: There is so much we can do Step 3: It's just you and me......etc.

I was a dork. I admit.

The concert was fun!
Jessie McCartney was there (ICK...that was so dumb) and Jabbawockee
was there also and they were GREAT!!!
I loved that is was 75%(or more) women at Blossom.
It was just fun to be around so many women from so many age groups.
There was this little girl wearing a shirt that said "I LOVE NKOTB like my mommy"
HOW CUTE.
I wish I would have thought to bring Merci, she would have enjoyed herself, no doubt.

I never went to concerts as a teen, i have only been to 4 in my life, 2 in the last 9 months...haha.
They are much fun and I plan on going to many more!
