4th of July F-U-N!!!!!

The fun started up at the lake Thursday night ~ July 3rd! We had a blast! It was me, Mr. "S", my brother John, Danielle, Mr. "S's" brother Shane, Pop's, my brother brought a friend from work "A-Boy" and Shane brought one of his old time buddies Sney! We all just sat around on the back porch until Shane decided it would be a GREAT idea if we went to the local bar and grill that we always hang out at! He wanted to show Sney how country folks hang out and party!
Shane and I hanging out at the Wet Deck

Mr. "S", Shane and Pop's with his boys ~ partying at the Wet Deck!

Before we left the I had to take this pic for Leigh because of this post!

He is sooooooooo sweet!

The next few pictures are just FUNNY! I bought CUTE 4th of July hats & Lei's and I made everyone take a picture in the hat!!! I just wanted everyone to get in the spirit!!!

My brother sporting the 4th of July hat and lei!

Mr. "S" sporting the 4th of July look!

Mr. "S's" brother Shane
He is kicking it like Minnie Pearl with the tag hanging off his hat!!!

Shane's old time friend Sney! He was such a super trooper to put up with us!

Me and Danielle sporting our hats and Miller Lites!

Danielle's Lil brother Gerald
I don't think he liked the fact I made him sport the cool hat!

My brothers friend from work "A-Boy"
He was such a trip! All weekend long we called him every name that starts with "A"!
It all started when Pop's couldn't remember if his name was Allan or Alex! It just went on from there! He liked "Anaconda" the best! He didn't care to much for Abby!

Pop's all smiles in his 4th of July hat!

Yep, it's me the party planner!

Danielle wanted to dance all night long so Pop's took one for the team!!!

We also managed to get most of the golf cart decorated for the 4th of July parade the next afternoon!


Friday morning we woke up with a list of to-do's!
10am - 4th of July Boat Parade
12pm - Grilling Out
4pm - Golf Cart Parade
9pm - Fire works display on the lake


10am - Boat Parade Pictures


I'm in the boat with Danielle, her dad and brother!
They were so prepared! They had water guns with ice chest of COLD water and water balloons!

Ready...Aim...Fire!

Just a few of the boats that were gathering around for the water balloon fight!

"A-Boy" gathering up floating ammo! The water balloons that didn't bust floated! So "A-Boy" was netting them up!



12 Noon - Grilling Out

Pop's grilling it up for us!

Yummy Food
Hot Dogs, Sausage, Hamburgers, Chips, Dips and all the fixings!

Look at the "FLAG CAKE" Danielle made us!
It was soooooooooooooooooooo good!





3pm - Getting ready for the 4th of July Parade


Danielle and Shane put some finishing touches on the back tires!
Me - AKA "Statue of Liberty"

Loading and ice chest on the cart so we'll have water and Danielle and Leeanne will have a place to sit!

We are all dressed up, the golf cart is decorated and we are ready to go!

Here we go....wish us luck! I'm thinking we are going to win!

Waiting on the parade to start!

Lining up the golf carts and getting ready for the parade and judging!

Here we are in the parade line up!

Driving by Pop's house in the parade.
We had so much fun!
The parade had over 30 golf cart entries and it lasted for about an hour!



Okay are you ready to hear who won? Let's just say we didn't even place!
1st Place

For real...this won 1st place! I have a few problems with this!
It's NOT a golf cart and it looks like total crap! How did they win over us?
For real? Look at the junky PVC pipe holding up what looks to be a table cloth! I'm sorry I missed the memo that said "REDNECK 4th of July Parade"! Yeah, I'm a sore loser! I don't think this should have won. Big deal that they had a kid sitting down on a bench playing the fiddle.

2nd Place

This was a cute entry!

3rd Place

I don't have a picture of this! It was a jeep with some camo stuff over it and some kids had camo face pant on. Once again! It's a golf cart parade but a jeep won 3rd! Yep, I'm still bitter!

I hope everyone had a fun 4th of July weekend! I know we did! It was amazing!

Wedding Contest......

Okay my GIRLIE-GIRLS it's time for a wedding contest! Thanks to my one and only virtual maid of honor Miss Giants Fan herself! Click here to head on over to her blog for contest rules and info!

The contest is to make "MY" bridal bouquet! Wait she put a spin on it...just because she can! You can't use flowers or plants! So get those gears-a-turning and make me something I will be proud to carry!

If you have any questions for me to implement into the bouquet please let me know! You can email me or leave a comment!

I will give you a few hints:

My favorite flower is a Stargazer Lily

I like bling-bling

We haven't picked our wedding colors (you might be picking them for us)

I would like something tropical since it is a beach wedding

Here are a few bridal bouquets that I've had my eye on:

I think that is it for now!

You have till Tuesday the 15th morning at 8am - NY Giants Time!

Good Luck!

4th Day - Picture Post

06/17/2008 - Tuesday

I took Lil Miss "H" to a kids day spa for some girlie-girl fun! Mr. "S", his brother-n-law "N" and nephew "C" went golfing!

Here are the pics from the Day Spa:

Lil Miss "H" with her pink robe!

She picked HOT pink for nail polish color!

She wanted to match my toes!

Waiting to get her nails done!

Sipping her pink girlie girl juice - AKA pink lemonade!

She loved every minute of the pampering!

It's hair washing time!

Miss Rosa was doing some shampoo styling!

See that smile! She was a happy little girl!

This is where she will sit to get her hair cut! This place was so cute!

She was all smiles!

She even sat still while she got all the tangles out!

It's styling time!

Look at all those curls! She is such a sweetie pie!

After that I took her to a photography studio to have her pictures made for Mr. "S" as a fathers day gift! I will scan them in later! They turned out GREAT! Mr. "S" was in total shock. He had no idea of the surprise!

TWISTER TIME

Afternoon game time! =)

He didn't just spin - he played too!

Look at her go!

Wore out from Twister!

Lil Miss "H" told Mr. "S" and I that we are her FUN family from TEXAS and her OHIO family is boring! We just laughed! We are glad she thinks of us that way!
