Birthday Fun and Treehouse Building!

This weekend was my birthday. Now, I am not big on celebrating my own birthday like I do for the kids' (see past MoMo Birthday post), but we needed help building the Mother of all Treehouses in our backyard. Sooooooo, we had everyone come to our place to build the Taj Mahal while they could also "celebrate" my big day as well.

I got to have donuts for breakfast, Larosa's Pizza for lunch (my favorite) and a DQ ice cream cake to top it all off......so it was a good day. Here is what the rest of my family was focused on while I added ten pounds to my rear end.

Here you can see my happy musketeers with their tired (but happy) Grandad!

Beach Baby Line is here!!!

The newest line on MoMo's Bows is here! Beach Baby has an assortment of bows to choose from that will make your sweetie shine this Summer!

There are items for the primary colors and some for the bright and funky...a little something for everyone!!!

Givin' Some Love to Maylee's Garden....Finally

Back in June....I know that was a while back, but it is crazy around here!.......I worked out a lovely trade with one of my Etsy buddies. Libby from Maylee's Garden is the head honcho for our Bluegrass Etsy Street Team. She takes care of us all, makes sure that we know what is up with the team and Etsy, and she keeps our blog and ning site looking very spiffy! She does all of this in her "spare time". She is a wife and mommy while making the most INCREDIBLE soaps! We traded her soap for my matching Mommy/daughter flip-flops for her and Maylee. Well, needless to say.....I think (in this deal) I came out smelling like a rose, a cucumber/melon, bubble gum, some strawberries, and a little blackberry.

Her soaps are so affordable that I got a heap of them in the trade. They are not like other handmade soaps that I have purchased in the past. They last forever!!!! The kids love the way that they smell, and I even caught a whiff of melon as Mike was getting ready this week (he likes it too).
Visit her on etsy at http://www.mayleesgarden.etsy.com/ or on artfire at http://www.mayleesgarden.artfire.com/. So, head on over to Libby's shop to get yourself some great soaps for gifts or just for yourself!

All Fancy Nancied Out!

Well, we survived the party of the three year old! Lunch was eaten, presents were opened, and the candles were blown out! The house was covered in balloons, and even though I know that the decorations are more for me than for her, I do it anyway..... We were very "Fancy Nancy" that day. I got the greatest plates, napkins, and party blow outs from Celebrate Express. If you are planning a Fancy Nancy Birthday, they have a whole assortment of items to match the theme!

She has a host of new toys, dress up shoes, doll babies, and clothes...the kid did well! This year will fly by fast and I don't want to miss a thing! It will seem like just a few days until she is doing this for her fourth birthday......

4th of July Festivities!

Rain nor cold could keep us from our good time! The kiddos bundled in blankets watched as Grandad, Uncle Chad, and Daddy ran up and down the hill with umbrellas to light the fireworks for us.

It was quite comical! Finally the rain stopped and they were able to get creative, even make the first ever Sparkler Cooler! We all "Ooooo and Ahhhhed" over the display. The kids were priceless to watch.That face says it all!!! Here are some more pictures of the kids all wrapped in there blankets for the show!

It was a great weekend and we all had so much fun!
