My sweet daughter

My cute little sweetheart has a wonderful friend. Bus Driver Mike. He drives her home from school everyday, and he is wonderful. She always sings me the songs he sings to them, and tells me how fun he is. He even gives them suckers, which is huge to a 6 yr old! Bus Driver Mike went missing for a couple weeks, and it really bothered little Ais. So, she must have asked the sub bus driver where he was, and she found out his wife was sick in the hospital. (they are an older couple). So the sub bus driver told Aislee that he would be back the next day, and cute little Aislee asked me to go get flowers while she was at school and meet her at the bus stop so she could give them to bus driver Mike to give to his wife. She spent that whole morning working on a card for her too. It makes me cry it's so sweet. And when we gave them to bus driver Mike a little tear dropped from his eye too. She since has recieved a thank you note signed....Bus Driver Mike's wife Sherry.
I love you sweet Ais!

My new blog

Hey everyone....I am starting a new blog...if you are interested in checking it out...it is:
cleanandreal.blogspot.com. I'm really excited about it!
It's about FOOD!

The birthday party (Ais!)

So, let me preface with this. This was Aislee's first ever birthday party. Therefore, this was my first birthday party as a mother. I loved it. But--it was a lot of work. I get the whole every other year idea....but I think mine will be every 3 years....or ONCE in a LIFETIME!!! No, it really was fun, and when I asked Ais what she thought after it was over..she replied...Mom, I want to have another one!! How fun would a Halloween party for 6 year girls be??!!! Tiff....come on!






The invites:

The goody bags (soooo easy, just decorated lunch sacks!...oh and that little puff ball, is a bow)

They were filled with: Silly bands (of course)...homemade lipgloss (see below), ring, sticker earings, aislee's chocolate covered strawberries (because they are her favorite food) thank you card (see below),

The cupcakes: from the Sweet Tooth Fairy, now here in St. G

The beautiful guests:

Easton with his date: Halle. These two are the cutest best friends ever. In church the other day, (nursery), during lesson time, I was sitting behind them and they were sitting so close together it was like they were glued there! Then Halle would play with Eastons hair, and Easton would lay on her lap. It was so dang cute, I was taking pics with my phone, and if I could figure out how to get them on here, I will....so stinkin cute. So, in this pic, Easton decorated the table...notice the spiders and transformers....and even cuter...Halle LOVED it!!

the Martini glasses (from the 1$ store, dipped in Oj and Pink sugar) oh, and of course, the peace sign napkins.

Aislee's little thank you note:

the pink chocolate covered berries to go with her note!

we made homemade lips gloss!!

And not pictured:
We did sparkly toes. SOOOO EASY. all you need: polish, glitter, and a top coat. See here!

It was so much fun! I had to do this....just in case another girl doesn't come my way. And, I've had a serious guilty conscience about not having a decked out tea party with her friends/dolls/stuffed animals. This makes up for that right???!!!! I hope so, because she's 6...she's getting old...maybe I still need to have a tea party. any good ideas?????
