Twinkle Town Birthday Fun




The birthday weekend in Twinkle Town was most fun. We had lots of cake, laughs and plenty of smiles. David & Daniel had their little friend stay the night on Friday (their birthday) and we went and had Mexican and lots of cake back at the house. This year the boys wanted their own cakes. Daniel wanted a strawberry "8" and orange is his favorite color. David wanted a cookie cake with soccer balls. They deserved it... I mean no one else but a twin/multiple has to share a birthday cake. It really is sort of rude. It was double work, but worth seeing their little smiles.
Anna had her manicure/pedicure birthday party on Saturday and it was very girlie and fun. Julie made her tutu and my friend made her shirt. I painted the birthday girls nails myself. Her cake was fun. I made it up as I went along. Fun Times.
Thank you to my sister for having me for the weekend. She says I was "grouchy" but after 3 cakes, a long week at work and a long drive to see her, I was a bit of a grouch, I admit. The kids love the grouchy Aunt Abby though. They think it is funny. I am a source of joy and do my part to provide laughter. I am glad I succeeded this past weekend.
Samuel was M.I.A in all these pictures because he hiked 13.2 miles and camped out with his Scout Troop. He was so proud of himself Saturday night and we were most proud of him too....and his Daddy. He did the hike also.

A Blind Date & Leaving Comments

8 years ago today I met this sweet man in the picture above. We met on a blind date in the Bluff City (aka- Memfrica). He and I were simply going out to shut up his stepmother and my sister, who had decided that we were meant to be together from one simple fridge photo and a dog named Abby. Little did we know they would be able to pat themselves on the back for the rest of their lives . I am so glad we both agreed to go out for that one date on New Years Eve 2001 because I have had him in my life everyday since that crazy night at my cousin Hollye's back door when he arrived to pick me up to find a baby on my hip that he thought was mine. I remember those beautiful blue eyes and how they about popped out of his head as he stood at the door wondering why no one had mentioned my child. That baby on my hip was Claire. She was 1 then and had just gone number 2 in her diaper right before he rang the bell. She had Styrofoam all over her and me from playing in Christmas boxes. Needless t

All Aboard The Birthday Polar Express

  Can you believe Henry Patton will be 4 years old tomorrow?! Neither can we. We celebrated his birthday last weekend with his first all boy party, polar express style. I had so much fun preparing for it, as you can probably tell! My mother who is never at a loss for words said it looked like Polar Express threw up in my house. She was SO right and we loved it! We had a breakfast pajama party with 7 three and four year old boys. It was such a fun time.   I had his pajamas monogrammed with a train and his name. He loved them and I liked how they sort of looked like the ones on the movie. Henry loved all the bells I had everywhere. There is no doubt we believe at this house. We had the jingle loud and proud!   I had his invitation made from a shop on Etsy and I was very pleased with them. One of his little friends came to the door ready for me to punch his ticket. It was so cute. I ran to get a hole punch and punched it for him. Every good party has to have go
