Nellie Girl is ONE!

Nellie's birthday was over a month ago, but it's been a busy month, so here are some pictures from her PINK birthday party.

This is the centerpiece of the table. Pink everything! I was loving it!This was Nellie's cupcake. It had the extra dots because she chose to pull a cupcake down on Sunday morning when I was decorating. I snatched it back and made sure not to confuse it with everyone elses!

These are her "pup cups." We filled them with either puppy chow or your drink of choice. Elizabeth and I spent a couple hours making them! I think they turned out splendidly, though!

Nellie's birthday banner. Which I spent about 4 hours on by myself, and Elizabeth helped with for about 1 or so one day! It was beautiful though. (It's actually still up! hehe) Zach wants to know when I am going to take it down. Also, ignore our ceiling, we took down the ceiling tiles and have yet to refinish it!

Our sweet girl in her birthday outfit!

All of her gifties!

Nellie with her Aunt Suzanne. Who refers to herself as "Favorite Person" when Nellie is around. (The name is self explanatory!)

Holding Nellie as she dug into her "pupcake!" She loved it, even though I'm pretty sure her vet would frown upon us giving it to her! Shhh, don't tell!

Really getting in to it now! How sweet is her birthday hat! I made it as well. She wasn't a big fan as I made two seperate bands, one for each ear. It was hilarious to watch her shake it off though!

Sweet girl with her chicken. (RIP chicken, he hardly lasted a day. She chewed the heck out of him!)

Opening presents, at which she did a fabulous job! I couldn't believe how she would dig into the presents. I think she definitely knew they were all for her.
This shirt was from her Nana and Poppy! (Zach's parents) It says in glitter studded letters "Pick of the Litter." She certainly was! Although Zach loves to tell her that she was the only one left, so she wasn't! Haha. She doesn't care what he says, she loves him anyway!
Opening pork chomps from Aunt Elizabeth!
Birthday girl with her Mama! So stinkin' cuuuuuuute!
Nellie told me to thank Mama Ruth, Granddaddy Mike (I am making up these names as they refuse to be called dog grandparents), Mama Joyce, Aunt Suzanne, Aunt Elizabeth, Nana, and Poppy for coming to her party. She had such a fun time and after everyone left she kept running around looking for where all her guests went!


Her party also got some of my overflowing party ideas out, but lets hope I'm still as crazy with our human kids! ; ) (Otherwise they may be a little jealous when they find out the dog had a better 1st birthday party than them!)

Valentine's Day and the Quickest Weekend Ever

Valentine's morning I treated myself to a heart-shaped chicken biscuit from Chick-fil-a.  They were BOGO free AND I got a survey for a free chicken sandwich.  That in and of itself made my day! : )                                                       Friday evening Zach and I tried to go out for Valentine's Day.  We thought we were early enough to beat the rush, but it turned out we weren't.   We ended up going back home with a quick stop through Donut Bank to get dessert and then we had a DiGiorno pizza and watched the Olympics.  Can you feel the romance? Haha.                                                                                                     Yummy Whoopie Pie!                                                                                          My Valentine! Saturday morning began gloriously at 9:20 a.m. It seems like it's been forever since I slept that late, but it was wonderful!  I met my friend, Jennifer, and he

Christmas Eve

Our Christmas festivities started with Zach's family on Christmas Eve!  We opened presents and ate!  I'll let the pictures do most of the talking!  As you can see, Christmas is so more magical when there are little ones to spoil! : ) Mrs. Claus house shoes from Nana and Poppy!  Mmmmm, paper!  We got Zach's dad a long magnet on wheels.  We hope he liked it!! Haha, it was one of those gifts that was more of a necessity I think!  She was excited!  We are glad she liked it!  We got Zach's mom a record player that is a 5-in-1 system!  Isaiah's sweater we got him!  Its pockets are in the shape of monkey hands too, so I couldn't resist how cute it was!  He is a cute little monkey too!  Book set from us!  Love If You Give A Mouse.... series!  He is saying. "Ohhh, paper!  I love that!"  Make-up set from us!  He looooved the paper!  Isaiah opening his Leap Frog laptop from us!  He lik

Turns out...

Third grade is not bad at all! The kids are still pretty sweet and are so excited for me to be there and I am excited too! I think it will be fun to see all that they can do and have fun with them. Yesterday I received 5 notes on my desk about how excited that I was there and about how much fun we were going to have. I think they are right! Hopefully I get the hang of them quickly, because I start teaching Science (Mon and Wed), Social Studies(Tues and Thur), and PE (Fri) next week!
