I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long perfectly manicured fingernails. I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp. I want to be there with grass stains on my shoes from mowing Sister Schenck's lawn. I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbor's children. I want to be there with a little dirl under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden. I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived."

Ashlynn's Birthday! {Feb. 13th}

Ashlynn's 7th birthday was so much fun!  We borrowed Aunt Joy's decorations and had a blast!  I can't believe she is 7 now, and next year she will be getting baptised.  I love you Ash!

This is her cake!  Actually it was a bunch of cupcakes.  It turned out so cute.  The party favors included earrings, rings, little drawing pads,  diva dog tag necklaces, and a CD that I made, full of all the diva rock music that Ashlynn loves right now.

The table turned out absolutely awesome!  Thanks Joy for letting me use all your stuff!


We also had a makeup table where we did the girls hair and makeup.  They got to sit in the makeup chair and be pampered. What a girls dream!

Then the girls got to have a fashion show!  It was a blast.  They had fun rockin' to the music and struttin' their stuff!

Another pic of the table before the girls sat down to eat.

All of the girls that were able to make it to Ashlynn's birthday party.

Eating like a queen!

Boy was I tired when that party was over!  Phew!
