Erin's 30th Birthday Prom!!

My sister turned 30 and decided to have an AWESOME Prom Party to celebrate! We had a lot of fun finding dresses at thrift stores and rocking them at the party! We ate danced, took photos, danced and had a lot of fun dancing! I love my family and how much fun we have together being crazy! ;) Here are the awesome photos...

The Birthday Girl!!! I found this awesome dress for her at the Salvation Army! Sweet huh?!

The crazy family that put on a good show for Erin's friends! ;)

My mysterious date! Bachelorette joke, LOL! I wanted him to wear the mask to the party, but he wouldn't!

Us ready to go! :)

This is the before pic of my dress!! I refashioned it to this...

Had so much fun doing it! I used satin blanket binding for the ruffle on the neckline and cuffs on the sleeves AND a bow around the waist! Then I used the extra scraps to make Seth's Tuxedo shirt! I think I have to make one for Mitch now too! ;) Oh and notice my mini top hat in my hair!!! My family said I was a version of the Mad Hatter from Alice In Wonderland! LOVE!!!! I made our corsage and boutinnere too! Check them out close up...
Yep that's a bird on my corsage! Super funny and slightly creepy! LOL!

Hammin it up! Seriously my favorite photo! Love it!!

Giving the smolder with Tyler and Lindsay!

Wow, I was really rockin the kissy face a lot! LOL! Me and my fun sisters and our awesome dresses!!

Erin and her "Prom Court", we made crowns with fun categories(like "Most Frugal", "Pretty Pretty Princess", "Most Ghetto" and "Mr.GQ") that she passed out to people!

The Bills Sisters... Ok well maybe and my Mom and Lindsay aren't our sisters, but Lindsay will be soon!! Muah ha ha!!! ;)

The Black Pearl vs The Flying Dutchman

Mitch's little buddy Jalen turned 3 and his awesome parents threw him him a sweet Pirate party to celebrate! Here are photos and video from the crazy water balloon fight between the Black Pearl and the Flying Dutchman! Such a cute and fun idea!!

Mitch checking out the competition!





And some video of the fun, Mitch gets pegged in the head at the end! Please ignore my obnoxious cackling! I'm a good mom!


And here are some more photos from the party...

Mitch walking the plank!

Arrrrr!!! Waiting for his turn at the pinata!

:) He's so into pinatas now!

Our crazy pirate!

The Tatoo Parlor! Adorable!!

The awesome cake and pirate cake pops! I had noticed and pointed out to Janitsy that someone one was sneaking the fondant balls off the cake... well the culprit was Mitch!!! Janitsy totally caught him later doing it again! It was funny and embarrassing all at once! LOL!

Happy Birthday Captain Jalen! He is literally saying "ARRrrrrrr!" right here! ;)

The Anderson family deacked out in their pirate gear!

Amazing huh?! You know your party's good when I blog about it! ;) Awesome job Janitsy and Nathaniel!

Cabin Fun

We're excited to share our family's cabin with soem of our friends and our first trip was a lot of fun! We had fun exploring with the kids and not so much fun eating at the local cafe and getting mad dog stares cause people aren't used to kids there obviously!! LOL! Oh well, their loss! We had a fun day at the lake, they just opened all the fun stuff to do there for the summer and really enjoyed relaxing with our friends the Chathams and Fergusons! Here are fun pics from our weekend trip...

Baby Shower Mania!!

There are A LOT of people prego in our ward right now and a few of them are my some of my closest friends!! So of course I had to help throw them an awesome baby shower!! Love these ladies!

First off Meagan's!!! I'm so happy for Meagan and her little girl to come, it has been a long time waiting and I think I was a close 3rd in the excited department when she found out she was pregnant(Her being first and her hubby being 2nd!!! LOL!)!!! I dibbed her shower as soon as she found out! Our friends Janitsy and Kyra helped it become the best shower ever! Thanks Meagan for letting us run with it and spoiling you like you deserve! I know you're going to be a fantastic Mommy and I cannot wait to meet your little girl!

The next shower was for my dear friend Vanessa and her little girl Charlotte! This is going to be her 3rd baby and we're so excited to meet her and see what and who she will look like! So far her son Jackson looks exactly like Dad and her daughter Savannah looks just like Mom, so we're hoping for Charlotte to be a girl version of Daddy! Don't you just LOVE all those names together?! Jackson, Savannah and Charlotte!! So freakin adorable! Traci, Katie and I had fun making cute stuff to celebrate baby Charlotte...
