Partying like it's 1975!




Chris and I went to a friends 40th birthday party 70's style on Friday night, and had a whole lot of fun getting outfits together, and growing special facial hair, etc. Chris still has his mustache and sideburns. I did notice a few looks in the store the other day....although I will not worry unless he starts to drive a windowless van.

The slumber party

Yes, I did. I hosted 4 giddy 6 and 7 year olds plus an extra giddy birthday girl for a slumber party at our home on Friday night, the 5th. It was a crazy day, and am amazed it worked out as well as it did. The day started with Chris is extreme pain, as he went into the doctors office to find he had strep throat/swollen tonsils and a peritonsilar abcess to boot. He was barely able to talk/drink/breathe. So I dumped the boys I watch off with their grandma, and we were off to the er, which is where Kasier sent us, but come to find out, they sent us there, only because they could not get a hold of the ENT doc who would lance the abcess in Chris' mouth so he could breathe! So thank goodness while were waiting in the er, a good friend had her husband come pick up my kiddos so that I could be with Chris during all this madness. So the er nurse poked Chris' arm too many times, and gave him an iv and some drugs/fluids. Then they finally got a hold of the ENT doc, made an appointment, and we were on our way to place # 3. About an hour later, Chris was relieved, and we were on our way home, where a slumber party was about to commence. I had all sorts of things I had planned to do for the slumber party...but obviously, the day was spent elsewhere...so went to the store, bought some cupcakes, and made do! Annabelle still had a fabulous time with her friends, eating store-bought cupcakes, watching a barbie movie, dancing to barbie movie, eating popcorn/drinking soda, playing sorry, and then waking up to a pancake/egg/OJ breakfast (at 6:30 am!). It was a good time had by all. And then I took a nap.

A wicked good time


I had the opportunity to go to Wicked this weekend, with a couple girls from church. It was such a blast. Definately a must see if you love Broadway. It has moved to my most favorite Broadway show slot! It had all the elements of a good musical. Great music, a great storyline, and comedy. Loved it! Also, I forgot my camera that night :-( So you will have to settle for just the advertisement as proof that I went!

A Happy New Year

We enjoyed ushering in 2009 with my good childhood buddy Kristi and her husband, Mike and their adorable son, August. They drove all the way down from Chico area in Cali with their 9 mo. old to be with us for new years eve and new years day. This was the first time I had seen her baby boy, and this was the first time she had seen my 2.5 yr. old, Ella (who, by the way, poked her baby in the eye, and almost stomped on him with a large boot). I am so thankful we got to celebrate the new year together. I had to throw in an old school pic of me and Kristi back in the day...I think this was 5th or 6th grade...and we had decided to get all dressed up and take a picture to send to Kirk Cameron with our fan letter. Oh yes...I am that old!

Mike, Kristi, Chris and I, ringing in the New Year!

A Laid Back New Years

We spent New Years with the Millers, and had a fun and relaxing evening, playing Wii, and Apples to Apples, and having some mixed drinks. Summer and I even did a tequila shot out children's princess cups....yeah we're a crazy bunch!! The girls had a two man band with a one man audience going on upstairs. We are so glad we have good friends that live so close....who wants to drive somewhere on New Years eve?!

Good Friends


We always enjoy time with good friends, and we got to spend some time with Mark and Candace and Zane and Ivana (our beloved youth pastor and family from old Hinson church days, who now live in Arizona) for an evening while they were back visiting family for Christmas. We shared our visit with the Millers, Christiane and Megan.
