Yvonne's Birthday Soiree

Today, this sassy girl is 30 years old!

Last night an intimate group of family and friends got together at Yvonne & Doug's new home that they've recently refurbished. It's AMAZING and I want to live there! After a yummy dinner of HUGE burritos from Chipotle, we all hung out on the floor and transformed ourselves into artists. Yvonne and Doug are both very artistic peeps, and she wanted nothing more than her family and friends to get down in the paint with her. It was relaxing and one of the best times ever! Domi titled his painting of war...something about love :) Andrea created a beautiful sunset, and my creativity yielded some green and blue swirls.

Happy Birthday sweet Yvonne!

We bowl!

Last month, the O'Mamas and their tots met up at the bowling lanes for a little fun. Bumpers and ramps were awesome for the kids...everyone took turns, bowled some balls and hit many pins!...even the mamas got into the action!

What girls do during the Superbowl

Superbowl Sunday at Courtney & Harry's, the guys watched the game, the mamas ate a LOT of the food and because of one super fab mama (Court) the girls had a BLAST being 'flower girls'. I have no idea how it started, but was so glad I'd brought along my P&S!

Practice, practice

Forty & Fabulous!

I KNOW!!!! HOW can this LOVELY lady be 40?!?!?! We had a fantastic time celebrating Stephanie this past weekend at a super fun Japanese steak house. The friends and food were perfect....just like Stephanie. Now, the lighting had MUCH to be desired ;)

Happy Birthday Sweet Friend!
