Happy 57th birthday, Mommy!








Mommy turns 57 today, yesterday we had a lovely dinner at Heatho & Kurt's house & Kelly & AJ brought the Wii...we rocked it like it was our job. A magnificent time was had by all & Mommy got her birthday wish...all her girls & their boys together for a perfect night!

My weekend was surreal...it began with Brandon being chosen as Student of the Week for this week...pics of him & Memily (the stuffed giraffe) will follow...Moosh & I cleaned Friday nite like mad women in anticipation of the INCREDIBLE Saturday we had playing hostess to a few of our favorite girls from WHS...& Deptford.

Amy, Kelsie & Charlotte were in from Florida- which was a great excuse for us to have a small gathering at Club Thompson.

At the Club to welcome them & catch up on all of the gossip were Vicki (Moore), Tia (Harrell) & her son Drew...the little sweetie pie!!! Kara (Klinger) and her little lady Cameron who didn't let Katie be the boss of her...which I adored!!! Margie of course & me & my babies!

Vicki took the kids outside to play like any rocking adult would have...& unlike me...I look for any excuse to avoid the elements! We got to watch Drew practice his passes...I can't wait until they're in high school & Katie is cheering for him on the sidelines...he's gonna be an excellent football player.

Amy's girls got to test their Guitar Hero skills & I think next time they're up, they might just kick Margie's ass!!! Kara & I realized that we're practically neighbors...just a few minutes away from each other so I hope the girls get together again really soon for some girl time.

I'm looking forward to Ladies Night at the Swedes on Saturday because I just adore my time with Tia...who came bearing Christmas gift for me & the kids...that girl is just too together! I don't know how she finds the time...but I'm looking forward to lessons! Also joining us on Saturday will be Red, hopefully DAWN...hopefully Vicki, definitely Algina & Kristen...so another group of my lovely girls...I can hardly wait!!!!!

It was great to see all of these girls who I've known since I was just a girl & Brandon is just continually amazed that the friends you make as a child...can still be great friends as an adult. It's a beautiful lesson he's learning from these women that brighten my day by just telling stories of our lives!

Tonight, when I'm done work, I'm picking up Dawnie & taking her home to my house...she saw Barry & Brandon last (aside from pics) on our wedding day & hasn't had the pleasure yet of meeting my Katelyn...the thought of sharing them with yet another woman who has blessed my life by her mere existence makes me cry...I can't wait...& of course...Moosh will be there too!!

Here is to a perfect night tonite...to memories of a perfect Saturday (I hope Amy can forward me some pics...I was a loser & didn't take ANY???) To another perfect 57 years for my Mommy, to a beautiful week & a great Ladies Night...thanks for being my girls!!!!!!

Hoping the lovely & talented Dawn Crowding will squeeze in a tiny bit of time on Saturday...Tia & Margie miss you ALMOST as much as I do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This was the best weekend... I had such an amazing time catching up with old friends. It was so great to see Amy and Kara after all these years. I always love hanging out with Tia and Vicki. It is amazing that no matter how much time goes by, once we are all together again our friendship and memories stay the same. So here is to great friends that make the memories last a lifetime!!!

And of course Happy Birthday Mom! Thanks to Heatho and Kurt for having us all over for a wonderful dinner. Thanks to Smell and AJ for the entertainment. I will have to get some practice time in on the bowling... Pie kicked my butt!!!

Love you all!

THANK YOU GIRLS!! We had such a great time. I really miss hanging out with everyone and wish we could have stayed longer. (Sent a few photos over. Didnt get as many good ones as I would have liked) Hope we can make it up again soon. When it's much warmer next time!
