Let's Luau!

No, not my kid. I don't have kids. But I have friends with kids, and they are nice enough to let me borrow them, dress them up, spoil them rotten, and send them home nice and late. I took this one and her brother to a luau on Saturday night to celebrate the engagement of 2 of my friends.

Yup, that's the happy couple. I met them at my friend Heather's wedding (Heather and her husband pictured below.) The groom-to-be was a groomsman, and his girlfriend at the time also came out with us to the bachelorette party, and of course the wedding.

I just adore couples that match! Soooo cute!!! I am convinced that Hawaiian outfits are made to be worn as a set between couples in love. Or married. Or whatever.



And the cute kiddos with me at the party. My grandma let me borrow the muumuu I had given her for Christmas a few years back. Way cute, eh? It's good to be me with some great friends. Congrats to the newly engaged couple!

Happy 30th Birthday

So, what do you get an old, married with kids 30-year-old for her birthday? You get her dad to help you put down new "tile" (translated vinyl tiles) in the kitchen! These are the before and afters of the suprisingly cheap remodel.
It's something she will use, that she wanted, and won't get broken or lost by the kids!
I think it looked great!
It's good to be able to help "those less fortunate" with a gift that will (hopefully) be quite appreciated. We will find out how she likes it after she and her husband get back from being out of town meeting his dad for the first time.
