Big J's 4th Birthday Party

First let me begin by saying, "I cannot believe my 1st born is 4 years old today!"

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BIG J - Mommy loves you more then words can describe.

So this year we decided to host her party at Bounce U. Let me tell you it was so worth the money! I did not have to worry about anything, including the cake. We had two party hosts that help the kids climb, set up the room, serve food and drinks, help with the presents (even keeping track of who gave what) and clean up. Which means all I had to do was enjoy the party and take pictures. Although I did choose to make my own goody bags.

Partying like you are 4 is hard work and yet very rewarding. I am not sure who had more fun the kids or the parents. ( I think it was pretty equal.) It was also the best work out ever!!



Also take a moment to check out some great giveaways, Including my Balloontiks one which ends tonight (July 12th) at midnight!

Five Question Friday

With Five Crooked Halos

1. What is one food you could eat everyday?
Cereal, anytime anywhere, hands down the best food. So easy and so yummy!!!

2. Are you working in the career you thought you would be when you were 18?
No, although I had no idea what I wanted to be at 18. I did have dreams of owning a business but I do not think I was specific on what kind I wanted.

3. What is something that you wish you would have done when you were younger and you didn't?
Party more, yes really. I was too good and never rebelled and went to parties, etc. I am not saying doing drugs and wild drinking (ok maybe a little wild drinking) just normal teenage partying.
4. What color are your kitchen walls?
Lovely, standard apartment white.

5. Do you remember what your very first favorite song was?
Hmmm.. I used to belt out Heart songs, then of course there was Tiffany, New Kids on the Block, Debbie Gibson, Janet Jackson. Oh those were the days.



So excited for this weekend!!!! Bonus daughter comes tomorrow and Big J is so excited to see her, we are too! It has been way TOOO LONG! (Thanks a lot PB) My Dad and Stepmom are coming and so is my FIL. Then Sunday we get to BOUNCE!!!

Almost time for a loud Happy Birthday to Big J!

In honor of my new FB Page

Join us at Buzzing the Day Away

Now on Facebook

I decided it was time to jump on the bandwagon and create a Facebook page for The Trials of Big J & Little J, so please take a minute to "like" us!

I received this book in the mail the other day: The updated and revised version of The I Hate to Cook Book.  This says everything about me because yes I hate to cook! Thankfully my husband loves to and does it all for us, however I have been feeling bad that I do not help, especially since he just started working after a year. My goal for this week, while on break from school, is to read this "cookbook" and choose three recipes to cook sometime this week or next week. My goal in the next 6 months is to start cooking two times a week to help my husband out, and I am talking real cooking not boxed food or breakfast items. Nothing against breakfast items, I believe breakfast for dinner is fantastic and should happen at least once a week, but I can already do that!

So lovely readers I am asking you to hold me accountable and check in to see if I am reading the book and what cooking I have done. Although I do promise that I will post the recipes here and let you know the outcome. Time permitting there will be pictures too!

Don't forget to enter my giveaway for the Balloonatiks DVD a cartoon for kids featuring balloon heros, it is very funny! Giveaway ends midnight on July 12th in honor of Big J's 4th birthday! Sunday is Bounce University day for the big party! We are all so excited here, thankfully there is not much to do since they take care of most of it. Although that is my favorite part of her parties is the planning, decorating and creating. Oh well next year. I do get to make the favors/goody bags on Saturday so that will be fun.

So stay tuned for more fun to come!

I have let my readers down

So my life has been so crazy hectic lately that I just realized it has been 1 whole week since I posted last! I am so very sorry everyone and I promise that it will NEVER happen again!!!

Well now I have a whole week before classes start again so I plan on posting everyday, including another one later tonight. (I am on lunch break at the moment) Have a review planned, as well as a couple review/giveaways! Also Sunday is Big J's 4th birthday party!!

For now we are linking up for Wobble Over Wednesday with My life with rats and more
