a fun weekend...

This last Saturday we threw Riley her 3rd birthday bash...it came out of nowhere in early summer that she said for her birthday party this year she wanted a pink party but not just pink, it also had to be a princess party. Well, princess is what she got. She had so much fun I think we are both trying to catch up on some much needed z's. This year was great because she thoroughtly enjoyed her princess castle moonwalk, cake & cupcakes. Every one got the message too somehow because almost all of her presents were Disney princess. I have no idea how that happened, I didn't even mention it was a princess party. It seems she must have had some words with the Man upstairs and it was like everyone knew. Totally ironic. And totally satisfying to her. Last year Ike made other plans and blew threw and destroyed everything the day before her party was supposed to be. So my poor Roo Bug didn't have a 2nd birthday party. But I think they all made up for it. She jumped, and jumped, and still jumped all through the afternoon.

All I know is momma is thankful the rain held off, this little girl had a great party, and most of all my dad got to come home for the weekend to be a part of it. What a great blessing that was. The happiness on his face....( He's been in the hospital for the last 3 weeks and was diagnosed with cholangiocarcinoma in August).

More to come later...this little girl also went on her first hunting trip with her daddy Sunday afternoon!
