Martini Themed Party

Here are some photos from my friend’s 21st Birthday that her family and I threw for her.








Olive Cake Pops!  Used Red Hots for the ends

Birthday Girl!

Neglectful….

Yes that would describe me these past, oh what, 6-7 months!  I believe my last post was in April.  I have tons to catch up on, as well as a few parties and events that I didn’t have time to post about.  The summer was really hectic and busy and before I knew it, the school year had begun.  1st and foremost the most exciting news that I have is that at the end of May, Jesse was hired as the weekend meteorologist in Baton Rouge.  In August they promoted him and he is now the morning meteorologist!  He got an actual contract as well as a clothing allowance.  Totally awesome!

Here is a picture of him in May, I actually took a pic of a tv at the station while he posed hehe


Here I will go through the highlights of each month that I missed.
In April I did a 21st party for my friend Brandi!  It was all martini themed and super cute!  I will do a separate post to show a few pictures from this party.  It was a surprise too!  Here is her walking in, she had no idea! 


Let’s see, May.  May’s highlight was Cari (sister in law) came in town for mother’s day.  Here is a picture of Cari’s mother in law, myself (holding little Dominick), my mom, Cari, and my mother in law!  We all look very springy in our shirts!
 
and here is one of me making Dommie laugh/smile
 

In June,Cari and I threw Jes and Cari’s step-sister, Ashlie a baby shower.  As with Brandi’s party, I’ll do a separate post for these pics.  But for now here is one of Cari and I with our momma to be!
 
Also had Father’s day in June, here is my brother and I with our dad! 


July, we welcomed early, Ashlie’s little baby boy Sebastian.  He wasn’t supposed to be born until August, but he arrived on July 11, 2011 weighing in at 4 lbs 7 oz and 17 1/2 inches long.  He spent a few weeks in the NICU.  Here is a picture of him right after being born. 
 
After being all hooked up, poor little guy.
  
And now he is 3 months old!
 

In August we had my mom’s birthday.  We went out for lunch for Hibachi. Here she is with birthday ice-cream at the restaurant. 


I turned 25th on October 10th and wanted to do something special for my birthday this year.  Cari planned on coming in town towards the end of September.  That was enough for me to make the last Saturday in September the date for my 25th birthday!  I decided to go with a Wicked the Musical Theme.  It was so perfect, and I couldn’t have asked for anything more!  Here is one photo of my dessert table all lit up with green lights, (candles wouldn’t stay light as it was a tad bit windy) it looked so awesome!  I will post about my party in a separate post!
 

For my actual birthday 10.10, Jesse, our friend Steven and myself went out to dinner.  Here is a picture of Jes and I
 

Well that about sums it all up for the past few months.  I will go ahead and post about the parties and also the baby shower.  I can’t believe we are about to head towards the holidays.  Such a great time of year, I gotta say, I am looking forward to it.
