Israel's 1st Birthday part 2

Here are some picts from Israel's 1st Birthday...grant it they are out of order b.c. I am tired of dealing with the blog today....none the less here they are :)

This was towards the end...good old fashioned shoot out...water gun shoot out that is :)

Most of the party was held in a loft of the barn. There were fun games and for food, brisket sandwhiches, hot dogs, and chips
Party favors: cowboy hats, sheriff badges, squirt guns, and a fruit snack

cake of course! Check out that smile :)

Since all the pictures are out of sinc...might as well put an explanation at the bottom :)

Israel loves animals and he is full of spunk, so we went with a western/cowboy theme for his party. We did it at Express Clysdales. For all my friends stationed in OK, it's in Yukon and you should check it out :) Thank you to all of our family and friends who came out to celebrate with us! Love you all.

Happy Birthday to Israel Part 1

How on earth is it possible that my sweet Israel is one all ready!? Our tiny bundle of joy that we brought home from the hospital has only brought us more joy with each day. Here's a little bit of what we did on his special day...

Hot dogs and cheetos for lunch?! Yes, please!

Trust me he did not stop with just tasting the icing....
...Told ya:) He had his first cup of milk too and he loved it!

Rellers,

You are such a joy. We are so blessed to have you in our lives. Each day your personality gets bigger and better! You are such a blessing. Love you so much baby boy!

Love,

Mommy

Karen:Ma'am, do you have this dress in the next size up?

Sales lady: Sorry, we only carry sizes 1, 3, & 5. You could try Sears.

LOVE the movie Mean Girls! It makes me laugh so hard. It is one of those "go to" chick flicks. My sisters and I quote it all the time. One of my favorite scenes was when Regina can't fit into a dress at a dress boutique. Notice I used the word "was". Today I went to a dress boutique to try on some dresses for the upcoming Air Force ball. I found a beautiful dress. I was so happy when it zipped up. Then the stupid clasp wouldn't hook. OK, that's an understatement. There was a pretty good size gap. I asked the sales woman if they had a size up. My thinking was it would fit in the chest and I could get the rest of the dress taken in. Her response, " I'm sorry we only carry sizes 4,6, & 8 in that dress." I was torn, should I hang my head in shame or bust out laughing. Of course the sales lady asked to come in the room so she could help me snap it. She made me feel better though when she said that she really had no idea why they even had that dress on the sales floor and she had a very small bust and she couldn't get the dress to snap on her. She said and I quote, " They make the dress to for a woman and the chest size for an 11 year old girl". Ahhhh big sigh of relief on my end ha ha. Totally doing Insanity again though before this dressy shing dig....I want to lose 3 lbs ;)
