Happy Birthday Jessica!

It's really hard for me to believe that I have a daughter that is 19! Where in the world did the time go? I remember when I was 19 and it doesn't seem like it was too long ago! I'm always nervous when a birthday approaches since we have been in Parkes cause lets face it, this town is BORING!! But, with a positive attitude and some imagination, we made it a pretty fun day!

 I know you have to ask yourself, "how is that girl so creative to think of placing the cupcakes in the shape of a 19?" What can I say, I'm pretty dang creative! I hope you can all hear the sarcasm in my writing, cause I'm the least creative person on the planet, and I could only laugh at this!
 But, I can brag about one thing I'm good at and that is baking! I love baking, it's my one weakness cause I love to bake very bad stuff! Case in point, the picture about, Snickers cupcakes! And man oh man were they Delicious!!



We have all been on a great routine of exercising every day and watching what we eat, except this day! We all gave in to the cupcakes except Savannah! She has got some will power cause she actually did eat that carrot instead of the cupcake!!

Earlier that day while the boys were at school (the girls stayed home to play with Jess and I), I took the girls to the Elvis museum. This small town doesn't have a movie theater but they do have an Elvis museum.  Now like a said before, with a good attitude you can actually have fun and fun is what we had!

 The king of rock himself! He has turned a little yellow over the years though!

 Now included in your $10 a person ticket you also get to see three other museums.  The old car museum, a scary old doll museum and this old school. It's actually they first one built in Parkes!

 Brittany was being very naughty so teacher Savannah had to get the ruler out to punish her!


We wondered if this was the way they gave out their birthday spankings back then??

Happy Birthday Jessica! I love you and am so proud of you! I can't believe next year you want be a teenager anymore!

Happy Birthday to Jess! I can't believe she is 19! It was like yesterday I was at school so excited you were in labor. It was the longest day ever. We just made those cupcakes and I had to give them away so that we wouldn't be tempter to eat them.
