Happy Birthday to my wonderful daughter Juliette who turned 18 recently. I love you, Juliette, forever and ever and ever. I’ve said it 100 times and it’s always truer than the time before. The happiest day of my life was the day you were born. Thank you for being with me these last 18...
Back in July, I threw a carnival birthday party for my daughter Bridgette. We rented a dunk tank and a miniature pony for the kids to paint. Bridgy loved it all, but the dunk tank would have probably been enough! I underestimated how much the kids were going to like it and the poor pony got a...
For my son Sullivan’s 9th birthday, I threw him an adventure party in Oklahoma City’s Boathouse District. We had a lot of fun celebrating with his friends. You can see by this picture they all showed up wearing the same amazing smile. Ha! But, the best thing we gave him for his...
Sixteen years ago today, I became a mother. It’s the best thing that’s ever happened to me. I am so grateful for my beautiful daughter, Juliette! I am glad she has been with me these last 16 years. I’m hoping for many, many more! We threw her a birthday party over the weekend...
Wild Kratts Birthday Party My son Sullivan loves the PBS show Wild Kratts so this year we threw him a Wild Kratts birthday party. We kept the party super small because we hired Extreme Animals of OKC to bring some fun animals over to help us celebrate. A middle-aged mother who is skittish around...
Lalaloopsy Party The other day we celebrated Bridgy’s birthday with a Lalaloopsy party. I’m not exactly the craftiest person around, but it’s important to me to do stuff for my kids myself. =0 Lalaloopsy Party Favors, Cupcake Toppers We had the party at our house with her little...
I celebrated my 45th birthday with Black Cow root beer float at Kaiser’s soda fountain in Oklahoma City. I highly recommend it! Tomorrow is my mom’s 78th birthday! Happy Birthday, Mom! I look forward to spending time with you. You’re a wonderful mom and I’m glad...
My Super Bridgy | Big sister Juliette fixed her hair! Today is Bridgette’s 5th birthday! We celebrated yesterday with a cowgirl party complete with blow-up pool, pin-the-tail-on-the-donkey, and hot dogs. Even though it’s summer, some of her friends from her preschool were able to join...
My first-born, Juliette, turned 14 on Saturday. We celebrated with seven of her girlfriends with a Minute-to-Win-It meets Cupcake Wars party. It’s not easy coming up with a party idea for teenagers, but this seemed to work well. All the girls participated in the games and they really got...
This picture makes me so happy. Bridgy loves the movie Tangled, and while I regretted it when she started wishing for long, golden hair, I love the fact she got to see what it feels like. Look how incredibly overjoyed she is! Happy Birthday, Bridgette! I love your brown satin hair, but...
Today, Bridgy turns four. This is a letter to my little girl. Dear Bridgy, You have made this past year so wonderful. I have enjoyed every second of your sweet smiles. I love to wake you up in the mornings, carry you to the couch and hold you forever. You are always in my heart. I love to hear...
