Linds' B-Day Celebration!

For my bestie Lindsay's birthday this year we made a trip up to KC to hang out and go to a Royals game! We even picked up some fun cookies to surprise Lindsay with! She loved them!

I mean how can you go wrong with wine and cookies?!?!

We headed to a local bar for happy hour and appetizers and I had to take a picture because we all ordered a different drink! Impressive variety I must say! Cheers!

Almost game time!

It was an absolutely beautiful evening for some baseball!

Then it started to sprinkle :( Boo.

Then it turned into a bit more than a sprinkle!!!! (Yup - that umbrella blew backwards from the crazy wind!)

Lindsey was sweet enough to share her poncho with me! Man it was so hot in there! :)

Then the rain really started coming down and we saw lightning heading our way so we decided it was a good time to bounce!

We headed back to the hotel for dinner, drinks and girl talk and it was a perfect end to a fun birthday celebration! Love ya Linds!

Happy Birthday Grandpa!!

March 29th is a big day around here...it's my Dad's birthday, Elena's 1/2 birthday and the day I started my blog (6 years ago!!) We had a fun time celebrating. :)

My Dad requested this amazingly delicious chocolate ganache cake that I got him a couple of years ago. Hello! You don't have to ask me twice!! :)

"Happy Birthday To You...."

Just look at this ridiculous deliciousness!

Mmm mmm yummy!

Happy Birthday Dad (and Grandpa!) We love you!!

Look at how much has changed since my first blog post! So glad I have recorded so many of our family's memories on here!! :)

St. Patty's Day! {2015}

For St. Patty's Day this year the kids and I checked off some spring break bucket list items and then headed to Applebee's for dinner. :)

Green beverages for everyone! ;)

I love these two so much!

They keep life interesting that's for sure!

When we got home I had the kids help me whip up some rainbow cupcakes! It had been a long time since I had made them!

They turned out great!

Happy little leprechauns!

Did you remember that Cooper's Birthday is also on St. Patricks day? He was a bit surprised when we offered him up a cupcake!

and even more surprised when we sang to him! :) This guy is 10 years old!!! What? I wouldn't believe it if he didn't have so much gray hair on his face!

Happy St. Patty's Day 2015!!

Last weekend was a very fun one!! It started out with a birthday party for our neighbor friends at Funtastics gymnastics. At first I wondered why they would have a party all the way across town...but then we got there and I quickly realized why -

This place was ah-mazing!!!

The kids about lost it when we walked in, they were so excited!!!

Giant inflatable slide!

That Dom insisted I go down with him on!

Elena was pretty fearless with the foam pit!

and so was Dom - when he wasn't trying to throw the cubes out!

The only bad thing about the foam pit was that Dom wanted me to jump in with him every time! Do you know how hard it is to climb out of that sucker?? I should've worn workout clothes for sure!

The zipline was a huge hit with Elena!

What a fun place to have a party - Elena is already suggesting that she have her party here next year! She has a long time to think about that one though! :)

One more fun video of the kids having a blast! Dominic was cracking me up with his ''walking'' off the trampoline!

After the party we hit up Buffalo Wild Wings to watch some football and play a little trivia!

Dom was pretending his potato wedges were guns! Lol - this kid, all of the sudden he is turning everything into a gun! Boys I tell you!

and this was the look on her face when she legitimately beat me at trivia! My little smarty pants!

Later in the day was makeovers, pizza and some Wreck-It Ralph!

and a little wrestling session with Aunt Marie!

Then it was time for Sunday Funday and Cowboys game day!! We cleaned and relaxed most of the day and then decided that we had to get out of the house!

So where else did we go? Stearman! It was an awesome evening!

and there were skydivers!!! I told Dominic that people were jumping out of the plane and he looked at me and said - "Why?" Ha ha! I totally agree buddy!
