WAH WAH WAH WIPEOUT!!!

This weekend, we celebrated Rylee Roses SEVENTH birthday!! Holy cow, time flies! It seems like yesterday when I met this little munchkin. Justin picked me up for Rylee's 3rd birthday party. I remember being so nervous to meet her. I jumped in the truck and Justin introduced us and she didn't say anything. She just sat there in her little pink car seat staring at me. hahaha It makes me laugh every time I think about it. She was looking at me from the corner of her eye thinking that I couldn't see her staring. Finally, she spoke (and hasn't stopped, I should add). She was using a compass that she got in her happy meal to tell her daddy directions. Her voice was high pitched and, of course, adorable. I knew I loved her right then.

Now, 4 years later, she asks for a Wipeout party!! It came complete with a waterslide, slip'in slide, a inflatable pool, and lot and LOTS of sugar!! As always, she loved seeing her cousins and friends and had a blast playing in the water. She couldn't wait for the party to start. Every ten minutes "when does my party start," "how much longer," "can I go down the slide yet." She's hilarious!

All hail the birthday Queen!!

Rylee LOVES candy, so whats better than a sweets bar!! :) We had a few of her favorites: Rock-candy, Starburst, sour patch kids, sixlets, gumballs, cotton candy cupcakes, sugar and chocolate chip cookies. There would have been a lot more chocolate, however..... we live in Texas. Too hottt!!

This is my attempt at a cake :) I love to bake cakes, and I like to think I'm getting better at decorating them.... We all have to star somewhere!

I loved the idea of a photo booth!! Had to have it!

WIPEOUT OBSATCLE COURSE!!

Run run run to the slip'n slide and knock down all of the pins!!

Next, dive into the pool and swim through the noodles and big balls!!

After that, rush over to the waters lide!!

Don't get stuck [like Rylee did]!

Finally, slide down the slide and take a bow!!!

TA-DA!!!

Rylee had so much fun at her party!! We are so blessed to have such an amazing family and such great friends!

Truth Bomb

1. I think part of a best friend’s job should be to immediately clear your computer history if you die.

2. Nothing sucks more than that moments during an argument when you realize you're wrong!

3. I totally take back all those times I didn't want to nap when I was younger.

4. There is a great need for a sarcasm font.

5. How the hell are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet?

6. Was learning cursive really necessary?

7. Map Quest really needs to start their directions on #5. I'm pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood.

8. Obituaries would be a lot more interesting if they told you how the person died.

9. I can't remember the last time I wasn't at least kind of tired.

10. Bad decisions make good stories.

11. You never know when it will strike, but there comes a moment at when you know that you just aren't going to do anything productive for the rest of the day.

12. Can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes after Blue Ray? I don’t want to have to restart my collection... again.

13. I'm already slightly terrified when I exit out of Word and it asks me if I want to save any changes to my ten-page technical report that I swear I did not make any changes to.

14. "Do not machine wash or tumble dry" means I will never wash this - ever.

15. I hate when I just miss a call by the last ring (Hello? Hello? Screw it!), but when I immediately call back, it rings nine times and goes to voice mail. What did you do after I didn't answer? Drop the phone and run?

16. I hate leaving me house confident and looking good and then not seeing anyone of importance the entire day. What a waste.

17. I keep some people's phone numbers in my phone just so I know not to answer when they call.

18. I think the freezer deserves a light as well.

19. I disagree with Kay Jewelers. I would bet on any given Friday or Saturday night more kisses begin with Miller Lite than Kay.

20. I wish Google Maps had an "Avoid Ghetto" routing option.

21. Sometimes, I'll watch a movie that I watched when I was younger and suddenly realize I had no idea what the heck was going on when I first saw it.

22. I would rather try to carry 10 over-loaded plastic bags in each hand than make 2 trips to bring my groceries in.

23. The only time I look forward to a red light is when I'm trying to finish a text.

24. I have a hard time deciphering the fine line between boredom and hunger.

25. How many times is it appropriate to say "What?" before you just nod and smile because you still didn't hear or understand a word they said?

26. I love the sense of camaraderie when an entire line of cars team up to prevent a jerk from cutting in at the front. Stay strong, brothers and sisters!

27. Shirts get dirty. Underwear gets dirty. Pants? Pants never get dirty, and you can wear them forever.

28. Is it just me or do high school kids get dumber and dumber every year?

29. There's no worse feeling that that millisecond you're sure you are going to die after leaning your chair back a little too far.

30. As a driver I hate pedestrians, and as a pedestrian I hate drivers, but no matter what mode of transportation, I always hate bicyclists.

31. Sometimes I'll look down at my watch 3 consecutive times and still not know what time it is.

32. Even under ideal conditions people have trouble locating their car keys in a pocket, finding their cell phone, and pinning the Tail on the Donkey - but I'd bet my ass everyone can find and push the snooze button from three feet away, in about 1.7 seconds, eyes closed, first time, every time!
