Happy "Late" Birthday Dad!

Geeeeeesh!  It has been a CRAZY BUSY week for me.  I meant to post this yesterday, but there just weren't enough hours in the day!  HAPPY "Late" BIRTHDAY DAD!  I hope you had a great day yesterday and enjoyed Mom's beef and noodles that she made for you:)  Nothing like a home cooked meal.  Mom---I will take some chicken and noodles next time you are here:)

I LOVE YOU DAD!  HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Before and After

The day has finally come.  Yasmine, Mikayla and Keeley have a playset they can call their own!  They have been patiently waiting for this day and are soo excited to spend the rest of their summer evenings outside playing! 

We went from a playset in boxes:




To THIS!!!!

We still have to finish the picnic table underneath the playhouse, and then it will be completed!  You know it would just be too good to be true for all the right parts to actually be in the box!  We had to order some of the missing parts, but luckily they weren't anything major and were shipped out to us this morning!

Happy Birthday Yasmine and Mom!!!!

August 22nd is a very special day as we have two very important birthdays to celebrate! Yasmine turned 8 years old today and my Mom turned another year older. I will let her tell you how old she is:)
For Yasmine's birthday, we threw a Jonas Brothers party at Perfect Swing which is a family fun center that is close to our house. They have all sorts of games inside along with an indoor kids playground. Outside they have batting cages, go carts and bumper cars.
 The Birthday Girl
Opening presents
The invitations looked like concert tickets.
The goodie bags were filled with candy bars, a homemade cd, an activity pad and a pen.
We made all the kids a cd with 8 songs (most songs were by Miley Cyrus and Jonas Brothers!)



We had candybar wrappers made to send home with the kids.

Now that the party is over we are all ready to take a nap:) We hope you had a wonderful day Yasmine!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM! I hope you are having a wonderful day too! We love you!!

First Day Of School

Today was Yasmine and Mikayla's first day of school! Yasmine is in 3rd grade this year and Mikayla is in Kindergarten. It was such an exciting day for the girls! Of course my camera decided it would not work today, so I had to take these from my cell phone.

Fun with caramel apples


Keeley and I thought we would have some fun and make caramel apples. I am contemplating on making them for Yasmine's birthday party which is next weekend, but I am not sure how I am going to bring the whole Jonas Brothers theme into the caramel apples:) Last night we decided to decorate them with m&m's and I attempted to decorate one like a peace sign. I wish I would have had sprinkles on hand, we could have created a masterpiece:)
Have a good weekend!
