there is a 14 yr old in my house!!!

I sprayed Raid on it but it just made funny noises ;)

heehee

Oh OK I hugged it baked it a cake and gave it presents!! Today was just a simple day for my newly minted 14 yr old Hannah Noelle. Next weekend is the rock out party with friends. But we still had cake and ice cream! The cake was a family affair! Every single one of us had apart in making it. Hannah went with me to the grocery store to pick out what she wanted. After I curled up in the cart to take a nap she decided she wanted a orange cake *SHOCK* I seriously didn't have to take her to know that!!!! White cake with food coloring. Such a tough customer ;) She also wanted Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. After some thought process I chopped them up and put them in the middle layer and then used them as candle holders. GENIUS!! If I do say so myself ;)

Now we decorate!

We don't want to waste that good military training ;)

So pretty!!

Cameron of course not cooperating. Not that we can blame him! That is one tasty looking cake sitting next to him! Of course in his head he is probably afraid that cake is going to jump over and cover him in sticky stuff!!

Hannah's friend Megan! This girl cracks me up! She has brought many smiles to my daughter's face and many many laughs!! Tune in next weekend you will see her again :)

Now here of course is Cameron's BFF's!!! Parker and Hunter. Making Hannah look much more browner then she really is!! If only their parents would let them outside ;)

One of Hannah's presents from Mom and Dad. Hannah and I were so addicted to this show last year!! So now that we have it we are going to try and get Jason and Josie on the band wagon!!

This right here is the best party game ever!! Well according to the 4 and under circuit. The girls blew up the balloons the girls let go of the balloons!!! Extremely loud laughter ensues!

This boy was laughing so loud and dancing like crazy!! Now we know what we are doing for his party ;)


Baby Emilie!! Poor darling so does not know what to make of these boys!! But she watches them so intently! I am not sure if her Momma will appreciate that later on cause you can tell Emilie is making mental notes :)

And that my readers is Hannah's 14th Birthday. Like I said not much but tune in next week cause I am hoping to have some fabulous pictures!!

Can anyone say High School Musical Karaoke!?!?!

I am off to slip into a diabetic coma cause of all the cake!

Happy Birthday to me!!!

I know it has been a couple of days since the world had a moment of silence to celebrate the fact that I am in it but I had a few more pictures to share!


Let's start off with my beautiful innocent son making his Mommy some lasagna for dinner. So sweet so innocent so peaceful............



And then there was these two!!! All I did was take one step to the side! This people is why it seems I only take pictures of Cameron ;)

I had a good birthday. I woke up that morning determined not to do a flippin' thing and I didn't!! Jason asked a couple of times if I wanted to go anywhere but I think by 1 o'clock when I still wouldn't get out of bed and I was in my PJ's he knew it was a lost cause ;) I love him for trying though!!! That evening my kiddos made me some lasagna! Contrary to what the pictures show the girls did help! lol and we decided to let Cameron help. The poor thing when we put him in front of the pan he covered his mouth and started saying 'no! no! no!' A pan of lasagna!?!?! Garfield he is not! Can you imagine the mess that could of happened? But once Jason showed him that he was spreading around sauce he was so happy. Robin and the boys came over to eat with us. Robin gave me a cool photo album and a Target gift certificate. The girl knows the way straight to my heart!!!!

This is Jason and I right before dinner. I wanted a updated shot of the two of us. Not that we aren't LONG overdue for a updated family shot. I will work on that next ;)

I am STUNNING!! ;)

I have discovered something about Magna Doodles that aren't quite working for me. It would be awesomely expensive if I keep saving these every time Cameron drew something cute!! I don't have anywhere near the wall space to hang them all up. And of course anytime I say 'awww' then *poof* it is all gone in a swoop of the arm!!! OK many reasons! But of course one good reason to have one. Cameron loves it!! And good lord knows how many trees these thing has saved!!

This, obviously enough, is a ice cream cone. Cameron and I have worked on drawing working with his shapes. Triangle with circles makes perfect ice cream. Of course after admiring his work I saw the face. For awhile I assumed Jason did it. What 3 year old draws a smirk? Isn't it hilarious? I say it looks like Josie.

For those of you who don't know I am going through my mid life crisis. I have decided to do it now so I don't look goofy ;) Besides the fact on my birthday Jason said 'you know your halfway done?'

yes I kicked him.

I am NOT halfway done!! But I did think that I am still young enough to get away with some things I have been wanting to do. I am not ready to fall into the middle age Momma look so I am rocking it out a bit with a new 'do.





That is just a bad picture of the back. I don't think it necessarily looks quite so skunky. Any who! I got what I wanted! This sweet creature I met through Jason did exactly what I asked for. I love it!! Now on to the piercings and tats!!

Yep more of Cameron eating! Cause seriously who would get tired of watching Cameron eat!?!? Now granted my neighbor Robin is probably sick of me calling every time he eats but you guys get to admire pictures!!

Sorry guys but these are just such exciting Mommy moments for me!!

This is Cameron's stool. He figured it out pretty darn fast that this thing helps him achieve greatness. It is not an uncommon sight to see him carrying it around. But our new thing with him in the kitchen nowadays is to let him help us in the kitchen. His therapist at the school mentioned it in passing to help with his 'relationship' with food. He LOVES to cook eggs. If you open the fridge with him anywhere near he will immediately start repeating the word 'eggs'. This is only because he enjoyed cooking them. Not necessarily eating them. He has had eggs before. I won't lie. As usual only if I fed him. But how can you go wrong with eggs? I love hash brown and over-medium eggs. I was in the mood for some for lunch. Of course I let Cameron help me. For you concerned folks out there Cameron is so good in the kitchen. Very patient and so far if he feels any kind of heat he stays away. All chefs will experience burns or even cuts. If he was to aggressive I wouldn't let him help. But he is good. So I let him help me cut up my eggs and hash browns and as I went along to get my drink he proceeded to chow down! You go for it Cameron!! Once again I was so excited I didn't dare move him. This kid is going to be so confused one day I am sure but for now I take what I can get and if he wants to eat in the middle of a bubble bath I would let him!!!

Little bugger ate most of my lunch!!!

Beaner's Baby!!! Thanks to me not paying attention I called my friend Wanda who is having a brunch NEXT weekend and asked her if I could bring a friend. Since I had already had it in my head we were getting together that Saturday morning she mentioned meeting at Beaner's. A coffee shop in Summerville. We threw the idea out there to our friends and we all met there at 9:30-ish!! Oh yeah you cannot forget the -ish part of the time ;) Look at us couldn't we be in a flippin' ad? Or the next episode of 'Friends'!! :)

Wanda so reminds me of the fun of taking pictures everywhere!! We have quite a few of us outside being downright silly but I love this one of Shay and I! Doesn't she look so serious and straight out of a modeling book? She is so gorgeous!!! There is one before this where she is dying laughing but I have a half closed eye look about myself. And if I don't look stunning then of course I am not going to share!! Shay you crack me up you beautiful thing!! And Wanda thank you so much for putting the effort into getting us together again. It is awesome! I am looking through my cookbooks to pick out what muffins to bring to your fabulous Brunch. Stay tuned for pictures of course!

Jason being hot, sweaty and in a usual state of manliness. I like to capture it on digital 'film' when he is actually exerting himself. He likes to have the proof anyway to remind me when I tell him he never does anything :)

OK so the fence is up. I told Jason do NOT let Zoe out til I was ready with the camera. The few times we let her loose in the neighbors yard she ran around like crazy!! I just knew she was going to be thrilled.

There was no real rush in getting the camera set up that is for sure. It took forever to coax Zoe outside. She thought for sure she was being set up. And of course her lead is still laying there on the ground!! :) You can't hear my friend Danielle but she is in the kitchen laughing. Zoe was having none of this. Why oh why would we deliberately set her up to fail!?!

And then she got outside!! I knew we were going to have one very very happy dog!!! I can't count the amount of out of focus pictures we took of this blur we call Zoe. She sniffed every aspect of this fence to make sure it was not a mirage :) And she loves it when Jason and girls go out and run with her. It has to be limited of course cause she has problems with her hips but to know that she doesn't have the restraint of a lead has to be refreshing!

OK this is a pretty huge update!! Some of you probably had ot stop for a snack. But I owed Troy ;) After my fabulous birthday card he deserved a huge blog!!!
