parties

wow it has been a great month! we've had so many birthdays and parties going on. mawmaw miller's was aug 16 and we all shared it with her over 5 cheese stuffed pasta shells, chocolate eclair dessert & orange coconut cake. we surprised her with a waffle iron that she had been talking about for a few weeks. boy the look on her face was so adorable! she really had a great birthday and we all enjoyed our time together.

yesterday we celebrated jaxon's 2nd & my dad's 52nd birthday. we had lots of people here and tons of food! 10 lbs of wings, veggie tray, cocktail weenies, chips & dip, nacho dip, cheese balls, "make your own sub" bar, 5 gallons of sunset punch & cupcakes. i took the easy way out this time and just made box cupcakes and boy did that take a lot of stress off of me and freed up so much more of my time and we had just enough left over for us to eat later instead of wasting so much cake. we had 16 people here, my house was full and the yard was loaded with cars. we had a GREAT time! the boys played so hard they were ready to pass out as soon as the party was over. it was such a wonderful day, i felt very little stress, there was no drama and everything turned out perfect. i was able to enjoy this party so much more than the others and i know everyone else did as well :) now the countdown is on for branson's birthday... t minus 92 days and he's not letting us forget it either!!
