I had a little party...

      

{May the awkward poses commence!!}

{Swing time!  My friends are such cuties.}

{"NOOO NO NO!!! Shheeelllby! Don't do it!!"}

{"Now you know why LITTLE kids play this game."}

{LOVE HER.}

{Suffice it to say we made up some weird words.  That probably aren't in the dictionary.}

{Rules: 5 pieces of dubble bubble.  All at the same time.  Biggest bubble blower wins.}

{Maria and I won.}

{After this I fell off my chair laughing.}

{Becellmarelbyselytoniajeecaradawwg = the names of every person who came.  Trust me, they're all in there.}

What a fantastic day!  Thank you all so much for loving me so much and making my life a zillion times more exciting.

Don't try a new recipe when it's late and you've been cooking all day.

Especially if you intend on serving it at a party the next day.
It might not turn out right.
Take it from me.

However, maybe, just maybe, my guests won't notice.  {shhhh.}

I've been working hard on this little graduation party since yesterday morning and I am plumb tuckered out!  And of course it isn't at all comforting that I have a lot more to do tomorrow morning and not very much time...but anyways...

Is it weird to make a sign that says *CONGRATS* {just like that} for your own graduation party?  That's kind of like saying, "Congratulations!!!!!!!" to yourself...

No actually, I don't think it's weird at all.  That's just what I thought of when I first started making it.

The above picture inspired my theme and I recreated those little puff things with plain ol' tissue paper.  They look pretty good, if I do say so myself!  I think I'm gonna post a tutorial on how to do them, if you happen to be interested.

I'm also going to have a candy buffet.  That's my favorite part.

Besides the teeny plastic tiara Mom and I found for $0.25 at the party store.

P.S.  I'm in love with this lovely's blog!  You have to pay her a visit.  You've been warned:  you'll probably fall in love too.

A lovely little sandwich.

I made lunch today!  Seriously, I love food.  What's funny is that I almost like making the food more than I like eating it.  {Although I do enjoy that, too.}  And what do you think of my food photography?!

{The last two photos don't really look too appetizing...sorry.}

I hope I made you hungry.

On another note, this video brightened up my day considerably.  The cloudiness outside combined with my horrible hair day, total lack of makeup and Zoe's ceaselessly annoying pacing (she hates thunder) was making me feel like Eeyore.  I love how a simple little song can make you feel so much better.

But for now, I do believe I'll go take a nap.  I need it.

I have some pictures for you and a favor to ask.*

{Oh...gosh......}

{Uuuuhhhhhdorable.}

{What's with the cowboy hats, you ask?  We had a True Grit event at youth group.}

{Long live cowboys/girls.  Cowpeople?}

{Mechanical bull-riding!  Be jealous.}

That was my weekend.  How was yours?

I must say that I have had a hard time deciding what I should post lately.  There's so much I want to say and I'm not really sure how much of it you want to hear!  But I'm going to start posting a lot more pictures now so that should spice up things a bit.

The way Cody jumped off the stage at our graduation this weekend.

*Now, about that favor!  If you are reading this, leave me a little love note, will you?

Even if you feel weird about it, DO IT.

I'd love to take a peek at your life/blog, and also see how many people follow mine!

P.S. There is reason to rejoice:

1. I got a job!  Ahh!  Yay!

2. I graduated.  GRAD. YOU. ATE. TED.  {Ahaha... "Grad, you ate Ted!"  Sorry, laaame joke.}

3. The weather is getting summery-er every day. {I'm really looking forward to the BBQ's.}

and 4. There's a picture of a mechanical bull up there.

Rejoice.
