Happy Birthdayyy Dad!!!

Yesterday was my dad's birthday.

As we get older I still like to think of us all as young chickens.

In honor of his birthday we went out dancing (disco) at a dance club in Menasha.

We had a good group if I do say so myself.

When I see aunts, uncles and my dad dancing I think..."ohhhh that's where I get it from"

Haha definitely on my dad's side of the family.

We've got the moves like Jagger :p

Here's an inside look in dad's birthday.

I love you Dad :)

Lemon mush...oh my

It was my moms birthday a few days ago!! Needless to say I needed to bake her something truly yummy...her favorite is lemon. So I decided to make her a giant lemon cupcake, well that was the plan. This time I decided to go with 2 cake mixes vs the 1 I used last time. Maybe I should have used one... it still tasted really yummy. I filled it with lemon mousse. But as you can see, it didn't turn out the best :( But like they say "don't judge a book by it's cover, don't judge a cake by it's exterior" haha.

All and all the birthday turned out well :) Except for the fact that I was really sick...eww.

I truly have an amazing mom...I love her so very much!!

Abbey is 21...let's dance!!!

Today was a beautifully lazy Sunday :) Just what I needed after last night (we went out for my friends 21st birthday)

After a lovely church service mom and I went shopping and then I came home and have been relaxing ever since :) I love Sundays!!

Like I said last night was my friend Abbeys 21st birthday. None of her friends are 21 so us Coach girls decided to take her out and show her a good time :)) Here are a few pictures from last night.

We found Sue at one of the bars (5 Coachies watch out now :p)

So Sue bought us a round...thanks Suuuue!!

Cheers!!

I hope Abbey had a good 21st :)

Day 6 of the photo challenge is a childhood memory...I have SO MANY amazing ones!!
But I have to say one that stuck with me is walking to the lilac bush everyday with my mom. It doesn't sound like much, but it was. It was our special time and to this day whenever I smell lilacs it brings me back. And therefore they will always be my favorite flower :)


I didn't have a picture of us and the lilac bush but I stumbled across this oldie of me, mom and Mindy (I'm the little one in pink)

 And on this day I pray for everyone that was a part of September 11th. It was a tragic event that should have never happened.

TAVI IS 21!!!

It was Tav's Birthday and that kept us occupied the last few days. After all your best friend only turns 21 once :) Wednesday the 23rd before work Caroline and I stopped over for a bit just to bask in her Birthday girl glow. And what do we do...look up recipes and take quizzes. We really haven't changed much over the years at all haha. Then Thursday night we got everybody together for her Birthday dinner. Before dinner we decided to visit her and the kids she nanny's for. That was a hoot, I always love playing with a baby! Finally (after starving all day long!!!) it was dinner time.. Cranky Pats it was...yummm yummm yummm!!

We stuffed our faces with yummy pizza and were off to Tavs. I was soooo pumped to give her, her presents!! I got her a Coach wristlet (may I add that this is her first Coach...and will not be her last), a cupcake (which by sitting in the bag totally rolled around and looked distorted, but still yummy!!) and finally some alcholic drinks (it's her 21st birthday!!! she needed some just because!! even though I was denied the first place I went because caroline was with me...lame) but all and all she looooved the gifts (yay!!). I always love shopping for presents for people :) So after opening presents we turned up the music and the wii dance and had ourselfs a jolly good time. After all of that we had a craving for something sweet and since Caroline got Tav a cookie book we looked inside for something we could make..hmmm. Biscotti it is!! So we made ourselves up some biscotti (totally recommend it!)

May I just add that Tav and I have been best friends since the 3rd grade (that's 13 years people!!). So she's basically a sister to me. And we have been through many many many birthdays together and from the bottom of my heart I hope my sister had an amazing 21st Birthday because she deserves it more then anyone I know!! Looooove you Tav!!

Also Caroline leaves for school in Iowa tomorrow and I will miss her very much!! See ya in a few months girly!
