Josiah's birthday .....

On saturday we had a lil party to celebrate josiah's 2nd bday.. we had it at the Wild... which is building with a bunch of jump houses, toys, slides...etc... needless to say it was a bunch of fun.. and very non stressful.. I didn't get many pics because I was running the show.. but did manage to get alot of the birthday boy having fun =) had a alot of his lil friends came ... and my dad even came to join the fun... Thanks Dad =) after the party we went home for a lil rest before it was time for mommy and daddy to go to a party... a friend of ours had a bunco party... I never played b4 nor did I have the desire... I never understood why my mom would always go... well let me tell you I am hooked..LOL.. it was a lot of fun... and we even dressed up in costumes for the occasion... my hubby stole the night by winning most buncos, most wins, and worst costume....LOL... thats ok because he got a prize for worst costume...LOL... here are some pics of the events...

This is Josiah on the way to his fun party... doesn't he look so excited?? LOL
I made lil sandwiches shaped like planes, fishie, and pluto's bone
Josiah enjoying his snack with his mickey ears
his yummy cake... I officially dislike colored frosting... it was everywhere and wouldn't come off!!!
O.k. the story behind this pic is that the last 2 times I have seen Kaylee( girl in pic) she is wearing only one glove... I think it is a tribute to michael Jackson..LOL
Josiah going down the slide....
oops wrong way Josiah!!
he didn't seem to mind going backwards...
peek- a- boo
CHEESE!!!
so rather than play with his new toys... he decided to play with a marker instead .. with him as the paper... just lovely.... and then he was trying to wipe it off... ya not going to happened... he still has red on his belly....
the gorilla and the hippie.. In love =)
we just kinda through costumes together from what we had at home...
the headband is for those who gets traveling in bunco...so I was winning it... til someone took it away... =( you had to where the headband til someone else takes it away.... lots a fun =)

it's just hair... right??

For the last 3 months I have been contemplating about cutting my hair... I somehow came across this blog about this little girl who is battling a brain tumor... everyday I read the desperate cries of her mother.... and I feel her pain and fear... well I have a soft spot for those with diseases and and I always try to do my share of helping out... not only are you helping but you feel so good helping... so it is a win win situation.... So anyways back to the point... so I have thought long and hard about it and I finally got the nerve to just do it... I have been approached before to donate it to locks of love... but just couldn't part with my hair.. it was who am, it was a big part of me.. I was the girl " with the really long pretty hair" and I didn't want to let go of my " identity" so to speak... well recently I haven't had any doubts... except the fact that I have really thick hair.. so short+thick equals very puffy... well I finally set the appointment... and thought if I change my mind then I will cancel..So I got up today like any other.... and read that blog about the little girl.. and the mom blogged about how they shaved their little girls hair today... and how she misses her 5 year old's beautiful blond locks... and at that point I was ready to do it.... 3 1/2 hours later and 11 inches gone... I feel great...!! and have no regrets.... although I will never know who will receive my hair... It will feel good to know that somebody will be walking around feeling good about there self... and I was apart if it.... here are some pics of my lil journey.... =)


Here is the Before pic
all pony'd up and ready to cut
one cut one to go (had a lil sad moment)
and then I was over it.... and I was all laughs
did I really just do that??
me and my wonderful hair dresser
Ta-Da the finished product!!

Hole lot'a Art

Yesterday we decided to take a little family outing to the Marketplace here in town to look at the chalk art competition that was going on.... it was amazing to see the art work that one can do with chalk... The night before Kam and I had seen them doing a little bit, but wanted to go back and take the kids to see the finished piece. The weather was perfect too... Josiah wasn't too excited because he fell asleep right when we got there.... here are a few pics of our favorite ones.... also down below... last week we went over to our friends the Nichols house, and my husband helped move a tree from the front to the back... of course the kids had to play in the HOLE... and Josiah was being all boy throwiing the dirt and just practically bathing in it...LOL
This peacock won 1st place in 1 catagory, couldn't get a good pic due to the shadow...
This one also won 1st place, this is pictures of the artist friends... they all had a connection... it was amazing how detailed it was....
we took this one for Kam's sister because she loves Bob Marley....
This one just looked so neat the man is walking on a rope... it just looked so real
This one of Willie nelson was my fav... not because I like Willie... but I just loved how it looked the detail to his face ws just so perfect.....
this one looks neat too.... well they all looked amazing.... there were so many different ones
Here is Josiah and his lil friend Lucy playing in the hole.. they had a lot of fun... til Josiah decided to throw dirt... Lucy didn't like that very much
everytime Josiah sees a camera he says a very exaggerated " cheese"...LOL
