Happy 5th Birthday Sarah!

It was a big one! With a both a friends party with all her classmates (13 kids total!) and a family party, she was pretty spoiled! Oh, and she went through the childhood ritual of getting her ears pierced, too!! 

Rich, Theresa and Sarah

By the way, congratulations to Rich and Theresa, as they are getting married next weekend! Thanks for helping out with the balloons!! 

and more balloons...

 

more balloons,

 

Sarah's first reaction to the balloons

Dad, Uncle Matt, Uncle Rich and Aunt Theresa all blew up 100 balloons with helium and put them in our living room! Sarah had a blast!

Happy Birthday Sarah!

Sarah and I had a great time making these Hello Kitty cupcakes. Sarah wanted to make sure that there were both boy and girl cupcakes, so you notice that some have bows and some have hair, and she made the hair!

I have now changed the settings for posting comments, so anyone should be able to do so without signing up with their own blog. So, please, comment away :)

If you want to print any of these pictures....

I have had a couple people ask me about prints of the pictures in this blog (by the way, thanks for that complement!) ...you can just right click on the picture, save it to your computer, then upload it to any of the multiple companies that will print it for you, or you can print it on your own printer. I just recently discovered that snapfish.com will make prints for 19 cents a copy and you can pick it up at your local Walgreens within the hour. And they turned out really well, too!! Technology these days is amazing, isn't it?

Clifford!

Clifford came to visit at the book fair at Sarah's school. She was very excited to see him, but wondered where his doghouse was and if he really had one! 

Soccer

OK, so I am a soccer mom, at least for 8 weeks :) Sarah's in the middle wearing a pink top with her foot on the ball.
