Kassie's 7th Birthday

Skateland U.S.A.


As it goes with kids, Kai quickly gave up on the Ice Skating and moved on over to roller skating. So, she picked Skateland for the location of her 7th birthday party. For a theme, she LOVED Lizzie McGuire. And I do mean LOVED. I can honestly say that I can recite the words to "The Lizzie McGuire Movie". She watched it 24/7. We saw it at theaters too many times to remember. We even kept seeing it when it hit the dollar theater. Above are the invitations that I made for the party. The information was printed on white vellum and tied together with a tulle bow. We made the felt candy bags of Lizzie's face. I had a Lizzie cake made at Fry's, and other than that, Skateland took care of all the rest. The kids had a great time skating and playing video games. Notice the hulk plates on the tables. Kassie made me buy those because she said that the boys in her class were not going to want Lizzie plates. So we had both. She let Nachito pick them out, and since he loved Hulk at the time, that is what he picked.

Ok, now I have to tell this story because well.....it really is a funny story. So you see this little three year old with that Hulk that is his size? Maybe a bit bigger when the skates come off. That little three year old is Nachito. He skated for a while, and then Buddy won him that Hulk. He was thrilled!!
And as it so happens at birthday parties. You get busy serving cake, opening presents etc. etc. Buddy should have been watching this said three year old, but somehow, he managed to escape onto to roller rink, in tennis, and with Hulk. All of a sudden, the place is howling in laughter, and bodies are falling like bowling pins on the rink. We look around, and all you see is this small green Hulk running into people. (He was body slamming these people with Hulk) Some people see him with time and avoid him, some are not so fortunate. Obviously the people laughing were part of the audience, not the skaters. Buddy and I look at each other in horror. "You go get him". "No, you go get him". Neither one of us wanted to claim "Hulk". Finally my niece ran after him, and caught "The Hulk" and he was done with his destruction, but not after a few casualties. And now, after so many years, it is a funny story.
Next weeks theme: Diva Rock Star Party

Here are pictures of the invitations for Kassie's 13th Birthday party. I had so much fun making them. Hum...maybe because I used my three favorite colors, maybe because I like to make invitations, or maybe it's just because I LOVE to plan parties. Either way, here is a sneak peak. Sorry the pictures are so bad, my camera is dead and I used my phone.

Good things come to those who wait...

I was having one of those bad Mondays. One of those Mondays when everything seems to be going wrong. 1. Our phones at the office are not working. 2. Statements went out over the weekend and angry patients are calling to complain. 3. My coffee got cold and I had to throw it away, and now I have a caffeine headache. 4. My cell phone has been tied up all day because I'm having our calls forwarded to it. (good thing for rollover minutes). 5. My boss has just added two more things to my darker pink "TODO" notebook. And just as I was about to roll up in a ball and hide under my desk, I got this e-mail. Dear Kindle Customer, Today, we introduced Kindle 2, the next generation of our wireless reading device.

Where do I begin???

After a long absence from my blog, I am finally sitting down to post. So much has happened in the past month that I honestly don't know where to begin. December 23, 2009 turned my world upside down. My mom suffered a minor heart attack, and was taken by ambulance to Chandler Regional Hospital. When I arrived, she was in good shape, and she was talking. They ordered a CT Scan of her chest. When she got back to the ER from her test, every thing that could have gone wrong, did. She suffered another heart attack, this one was much worse. She was in-tubated and things were not looking very good for her. The next few days were spent waiting for tests to be run, consulting with Dr.s and praying. A lot of praying. We were finally told that she would need to undergo a quadruple bypass. There was a problem with that, because she was in critical condition. Her kidneys were failing, her blood pressure was to high, as was her blood sugar. And, she was to weak. The surgeon said that we would
