Skip's 30th Birthday!

While Skip's actual 30th birthday was on Thursday, we had his huge party on Friday.  I had been stressing over it for a bit, but honestly?  I think it was our best party ever!  There were tons of drinks, a keg, and waaay more food than anyone was going to eat.  It was a great mix of people, and everyone seemed to get along really well.  And any party that doesn't wrap up until 3 am is a good time, right?  But you want to know the best part?  Little M didn't make a peep once and Baby C {who was up about 8 times the night before and up until 4:30 the night before that} woke up once...ONCE!!  With almost 40 people in my house, girlfriend slept straight through...maybe I should have a party every night then??  But enough chatter...here are the pictures!

The theme of the party

Decorations every where

I taped up cloths pins everywhere with pictures of Skip



Giant cake

And yes, I made everyone at the party sing happy birthday to him


We got our trophy!

Even some Marine's came!


Marine's girls

My bestie!

The Marine's really missed each other, haha

    Looks amazing! I'm so impressed that the girls slept! When we had our parties I make my parents take S:-) Maybe Little C needs a white noise machine.

Spring Giveaway!

First off I want to thank Kim over at Life As I Know I t for becoming my 100 th follower! I love her blog and just know we would hang out all the time if she didn't live across the country. I am completely humbled that 100 people actually want to read what I have to say! Blogging has opened up a whole new world of friendships to me and I would probably not have kept doing it if it was not for all of you! Okay, now it's down to the good stuff. I am *dying* for a little spring around here. We had a few days of warmth and sunshine, but for the past three days it has been raining...again....I heard they have even mobilized our National Guard in case the rivers decide to really get out of hand...you know more than the crazy flooding they've already been doing. Anyways, one of my favorite things to do to get ready for spring is to paint my nails a fun, bright color. So today I am giving away these beauties. One lucky reader will win all four of these fabulous colors! I g...

$50 CSN Giveaway!!

As you all know, I have raved about my love of CSN stores several times before.  They have a huge selection of products and are constantly adding new stores to their website.  My family definitely headed over there to do some of our Christmas shopping, and I was just perusing their selection of flat panel TV stands.      It's one thing, however, for me to tell you how great CSN is.  But it's another for you to experience it yourself.  That is why I am so excited to be sponsoring a $50 gift certificate giveaway to CSN to one of my readers!!!  It's the perfect opportunity to order yourself something you didn't receive for Christmas, or check out their fitness equipment to help with your new year's resolution! Entering is simple...just leave a comment telling me what your new year's resolution is {you can also just say you aren't making any this year if that's the case!}  The giveaway will be open until January 7th 10:00 pm est.
