Our Birthday girl turned 6

Lilly had a blast at her Hannah Montana sleep over party. We started the evening at 7pm with her security gard-bouncer Jacob standing at the door welcoming her guests. We made home made pizza, popcorn, got make overs with hair and make up, played dress up and the most fun was the dancing.

Landen was our DJ he the music was so loud that the house was just about shaking. The girls loved it though and man can they dance to the frog song and they learned how to do the cha cha.

The girls all slept in the living room watching the Hannah Montana movie. It was so much fun just playing around with our sweet princess. All of Lilly*s friends left the party asking their Mommy's if they could have sleepover parties too. My suggestion to that would be take some asprin first!

Saturday evening Lilly was invited over to her friend Joslyn's for a sleepover and they celebrated Lilly's birthday with cupcakes. Then Sunday my friend Sara, her little boy Jacob, Lilly and I went to build a bear so they could build their animals (his gift to Lilly for her birthday) then we went to Mc Donalds for happy meals.

Happy Birthday Princess!

"Friendship"

You're...My Friend,

my companion,through good times and bad

my friend, my buddy,through happy and sad,

beside me you stand,beside me you walk,

you're there to listen,you're there to talk,

with happiness, with smiles,with pain and tears,

I know you'll be there, throughout the years!

I want to honor my dear friend Sara who is also my sweet neighbor. She lives across the road from me and has a cute little son Jacob of whom I have writtten about previously on here. But, today I would like to honor Sara for her openess and loyalty as a friend.

Our friendship started out really slowly. She was the lady who lived across the street who was quiet and a house body. I was the inquiring neighbor who knocked on her door and introduced myself. Through the months we have spoken more and waved from across the street. I have found that Sara is not really quiet after all =)

Three weeks ago right before my surgery when I was really scared she shared with me that she too had been through the same thing. What a comfort she was. Then the day after my surgery I was stuck in the recliner (literally) and I called her on the phone for help she was over in less than a minute to help me up. She continued to come over daily to help me up, to make my meals, talk with me, she even brought me a bunch of chick flicks to watch. What a blessing she was.

During this week of recovery I realized what a true friend she was. We have since spent every day together talking, cleaning, grocery shopping, counseling each other, and scolding each other lovingly.

Sara, Thank you for being such a wonderful friend.

A sneak peek of our beautiful home

Here is a quick sneak peek of our beautiful home. I will be posting pics periodically for you to share in this experience with us. I can not wait to sit on my front porch and share a cup of ice water with my dear friends. Thank you Lindsay and Jeremy for your advice yesterday!
