Gift of the Year!

Our best gift EVER! (Well, maybe not, but close!) We pimped out a purple polo with some custom fabric sewn into the collar and where the buttons are.  Let's just say that Mark will be poppin' his collar frat style, protecting himself from being a "redneck", and making the ladies do a double take.

The Fabulous 50s

A few weeks ago we went to a couples wedding shower - which was a mad men theme! It was so fun to get dressed up and enjoy all of the special touches. As someone who loves to throw parties - I was loving all of the intricate details my friend Tracey put together! She is quite the (talented) host!

Belated Birthday Blog


Happy 28th Birthday to ME! This post is late - but thought I would share the whirwind of a birthday it was! My mom came in town for the weekend so it was great actually getting to be with her on my actual birthday day. I took the day off (the first time I think I have ever taken a day off of work for my birthday) and we did everything you should do on your birthday: Starbucks, shopping, prepping for a party, and just hanging out. For my birthday all I wanted was to have good friends over and eat good food. I got both! My wonderful chef of a husband made chicken fajitas and shrimp tacos - along with a whole host of other goodies! Featured above are Steph's cake pops - which were to die for. So stinkin' cute!


The vases below I got at the cutest little gardening store - a gift from my brother Nathan!











For probably the last 4 years Matt has gotten a pinata for my birthday festivites. This year he went with pin the tail on the donkey. Hilarious! Can you see the tail that is to the right of Joe's face on the side wall above the light switch. Yes, that is how bad we were!


Loved 27 - really looking forward to 28!

Cupcake Cakes

I have been meaning to update the blog with some birthday posts - that has yet to happen. In the meantime I am sharing some pictures of my latest birthday "cake." Ryan turned the big 3-0 last week (2 days before my 28th!) and celebrated with a weekend of golfing. The girls got to join for bowling Saturday night and I was able to debut...my materpiece!
