a mustache party...

 **April 22,2013 - Links have been updated!!  ENJOY**

Warning: Picture overload for today's post.
Last Sunday we finally celebrated Mike's birthday (it was 2/11), our family is WAY too busy these days!  I am happy we all had a Sunday available to party it up!!  I decided on a mustache theme, since I have been seeing lots of stache items on Pinterest. I also wanted to find some games for us to play, and I was happily surprised to find some online.

First we started with lunch, which consisted of pulled pork sandwiches, coleslaw and iced tea (some of Mike's fav's).

Then we played a couple of games...

First up, was pin the mustache on Burt Reynolds.  You can get the download HERE.  I was pleasantly surprised that everyone was excited to participate (we are a pretty competitive bunch).  

 
We had to trace the mustaches and remove them because some people were  "feelers".

 

Josh ended up being the winner!!

Next we moved on to Name that Stache, download the cropped stache photos HERE/Full photo HERE/Cards HERE/Answers HERE.  Enjoy!!

Nate won this one!

Then we had some Birthday pie (since Mike is a "pie guy" recipe HERE, and yes I bought a pre-made graham cracker crust~don't judge!!!), and then opened presents.
*and if you notice I have no curtains hanging up in my family room, it is because Mike is using them as a prop for his current series at church. I get them back next week, LOL!!

 
Some ammo from Josh so they can go target shooting~silly boys!!

Of course I set up a picture station for us to model our "staches"  and I had to laugh at some of the outtakes!!  Mustaches printouts HERE (I just taped them to skewers).

We started off with a normal pose.

Then we thought we could use the mustaches for eyebrows (apparently Jess and I didn't get the memo).

Then we said lets put the mustaches all on Mike, since it is his birthday (Ashley and Nate didn't get the memo).

Ashley still didn't get it!!

Success!!!

 And when you do some sort of belly dance from a seated position, you know I am going to blog it!!
 

 It was funny stuff!!

Good times!!

Enjoy Today!!

Happy Sunday Friends!!

Here is my week in iPhone pic's...

From left to right:

1.  My favorite products to get my head of hair into shape every day.

2.  Ashley and I found these while grocery shopping a few weeks ago~super yummy~good portion size~3 WW+ points (my favorite flavor so far is cheddar).

3. Planning my hubby's birthday party~mustache theme~fun!! Check the blog later this week for the all the deets and pic's of the stache party!!

4.  I mentioned last week, I am back on the WW wagon!!  Getting back on track with my tracking!!

5.  A little snack from McDonald's (4 WW points+).  Yes I love food can't you tell, LOL!! refer to number 4 *wink*

6.  Saturday date with Mike at the usual place.

7.  My sunglasses broke last week, Ashley helped me pick out these~I sported this style back in the 80's!!  I think they scream Ferris Bueller!!!

8.  Kodi sporting a new bandana.  

(Edit:  I wanted to add to my last 'Kodi picture' post, about his eye (but forgot to add it).  When Josh found him 2 years ago as a puppy, one of his eyes was really cloudy, we took him to the vet, and found out he had Valley Fever. We do not know how long he had it for, but it had unfortunately gotten into his eye.  They told us that he probably could not see (only shadows) in that eye, and would eventually be completely blind in that eye as time went on.  He does have some clouding in his other eye; but has been taking and anti fungal for a year to fight off the valley fever (he will be tested in another month to see if it is completely out of his system~he is on round 2 of meds).  We hope that he will keep his vision (which we are not sure how good it is), in his left eye.  His ears are extra sensitive though, because he can be outside with the door closed and hear someone open the fridge, LOL!!!). 

9.  This is waiting on the counter defrosting a bit, as I type up my post, I am going to turn it into YONANAS  for Mike and I!

Enjoy Today!!

Have a Fabulous weekend!!!

Happy Thursday!!

How is your week going?  I cannot believe it is already Thursday!!  It is amazing how fast the week goes by when Monday is a holiday!! LOL!!

I was inspired (and pretty much cased) THIS card by Kristina.  I really LOVE all the banner cards and scrapbook pages I am finding Pinterest. Here is my version made with some retired SU! Designer paper and some PTI stamps. 

And here is a little trick to make your banners (which I also found on Pinterest, original link HERE)!! 

   

 Enjoy Today!!

coffee birthday...

Happy Tuesday!!
Just popping in quick today!!  This weekend was CRAZY!!  We were supposed to celebrate my hubby's birthday, which was actually February 11th, but new computer installation at the office occupied most of my weekend (why can't things ever go smoothly with that kind of stuff???).  Luckily the last (I hope the last anyway) minor glitch was fixed this morning at 7 am (nothing like going down to the wire, LOL!)..


Here is the card I made for him, since he is definitely a coffee snob!!  I postponed his party to this coming weekend, and I have some fun ideas up my sleeve!!  Will post more about that later!!






Enjoy Today!
