Wren's birthday party

Man, this was a LOT of work!! I LOVE how it turned out though! I guess I would call the theme vintage campy picnic. We have a bowery across the street from my house with this little woodsy area that I used. The decorations were fairly inexpensive. I just used things from my house and borrowed the paper lanterns from my niece that she used for her wedding. The hardest part was trying to plan it all while keeping it a surprise!





This watermelon punch was soooo good! I hollowed out a watermelon and put it in the freezer. Then I blended the pulp and added cherry 7 up to it.


Whimsy Cupcakes made these adorable smore, pink lemonade and choc. coconut cupcakes for me!




I know, I'm a dork! These sloppy joe stickers will only make sense to you if you have ever seen the lunch lady land skit on SNL with Chris Farly and Adam Sandler.

Wren absolutely adored her party, which made it totally worth it!

Sorry I haven't been keeping up on Favorites Friday, it has been a crazy busy summer!
My favorite place to waterski and camp is in Mantua! It is the cutest little town about 4 miles up Sardine Canyon. I totally want to live there! The campground is right next to the lake and has tons of trees, showers and the cutest little country store. They sell these cute little mood rings that I bought for me and my girls. We call them our Mantua rings. We love the lake because we can usually find smooth water. The lake has kelp in it which doesn't bother me because it keeps the big outboard motor boats off of it.

For some reason some of the town folk don't like us too much, especially Robocop! If you have ever got a ticket in Sardine Canyon then you know who Robocop is! I won't even go there right now because it is still waterski season and I don't want anymore trouble from him he he!

This was Wren's 4th time on a waterski!!!!!
