Sunday - And I Survived

Well, I am sure you are all wondering if I survived Caleb's birthday party or not.  And if your not wondering, I'm going to tell you anyway, ha ha.  And yes, I did survive.  Only because I had the bestest party hostess ever!  This little girl worked her butt off.  She did everything, and I mean everything.  I hardly had to life my little finger, and if I did she said "oh let me do that".  Oh, twist my arm why don't ya, lol.  That girl earned a much appreciated $20 tip.

Oh I hate planning and anything to do with parties!  I stress out about it soooo much!  But you are right, they all had a blast.  The one little girl that came was Brighton.  She was so cute and quite.  Caleb wanted Annie to come but she couldn't.  But they all had a blast!
 
Oh and apparently I over-estimated the kids coming or some of the ones who said they were couldn't at the last minute so I had extra pizza and drinks.  Well, my friend Kathy ran short of drinks and pizza cause she had extra kids show up for Preston's party, so I said "tell your kids to help themselves to my table".  They did and I almost had nothing left over.  Then Hannah went "what?  no chocolate cake?"  I had gotten marble.  So I said "Preston has chocolate cake, go ask Kathy if you can have a piece."  Hannah came back with this huuugge piece of chocolate cake and looked very happy. 
 This is the best picture I've got (from my cell phone) cause like the dummy I am I forgot my camera.  But then who among you is surprised?  I didn't remember it for Sedona either.

Speaking of Sedona, here are a few pictures off David's camera.  I need to download some more and we don't have the disposable cameras developed yet...

   Nicholas Cage's new house (supposedly)
  Caleb & Hannah
 Sedona
 Kids Hiking
 Indian Ruins
 Montezuma's Castle
 Oh...it's just me.
 
Oh, I can't believe I haven't told you guys this, but my sister Kathryn has had her surgery and is home recuperating very well.  She says "it only hurts when I move".  So, don't move I tell her.  Yeah, right.  But seriously, I just wanted to say thank you to everyone for their prayers and well wishes, and keep them coming for Kathryn's continued recovery.
 
Well, I am going to pop off here and try to be productive.  I did cook dinner again tonight.  We had Greek Chicken with Lemon Parsley Penne Pasta, Steamed Broccoli & Carrots, Green Bean Veggie Mix, and "Somegetti" for the boy.  Yum!  Course plenty of birthday cake for dessert.  I hear the washer and dryer calling my name. 
 
Oh, here is some going to sleep music I snagged from Julie.  Sweet dreams! 
 
 
Ciao!  De ;)
