Party Weekend + Quotables

Well, it was a fun-filled weekend... Friday night was Tiffany's birthday party -- Dinner at El Guapo then red velvet cheesecake at my house then seeing A Dog's Purpose at Carmike! Yay for celebrating Tiffany!! =)

Saturday morning from 10 to 12 was Jace's 5th Birthday party at Peter Piper Pizza (first time I'd been there - cute and fun).  Mom had me stop to pick up a helium tank on my way in, and we scrunched several balloons into my car for birthday fun!

Here's a quick Flipagram with some of the party pics. We took 480 pictures in those 2 hours, and saved 240 of them - it's kind of like writing - you end up cutting half of it out, so doing more than you think you need is the best plan. Kids are just so alive and active and great for candid pictures because they could care less about the camera being there - they just play their games or eat their cake or put on their masks and light sabers without paying you much attention. Oh, and it makes me smile that Jace has made two friends in their regular Chick-Fil-A trips: Bethel, who has come to babysit for them a few times, and Zoe, who came to his bday party and brought some stuffed Chick-Fil-A cows as gifts! lol  ...Anyway, I'll do a Memory Monday on the party later with more pics and stories. =)

Sunday was LifeChurch (always better in MWC), family lunch at Cheddar's (yum!), then an afternoon baby shower for Wesson and Nash (so excited to meet the twins soon)!!!

Sunday night was "dinner and movie night," although there was very little actual movie watching this time. All 14 people that I invited were able to come, so it was a bigger crowd than usual, but all super fun people! :)  The girlfranz were a big hit with their precious Boo haircuts... that pic of the guys with them on the couch is my new favorite!! lol

Jessica was a big fan of the flufflepuffs!

BabyBells being adorable. lol

A few more pics: The Fultons, Laura and the "vat" of "nuclear onion" salsa, JEM putting things on his head again :), posed candid of Chettles reminiscing through old scrapbooks, the girls table (we fit all 9 girls there with the leaf pulled out - I'm impressed that it worked), Kelly and Tiffany, JEM enjoying Mom's veggie bars, Chet Lee and Sarah, Kelly and Evan helping Jeff off the floor after his mini-nap! lol

Happy  Quotes:

"Do you drink a lot of sweet tea, Kyle?" ~Kevin, upon hearing TK's resolution to have no sweet tea in 2017
"Oh, maybe one a week." ~Kyle
"WHOA, slow down!!" ~Kevin :)

"I think I'd still have to hold on to the wall if I go out skating!" ~Rach, discussing T&C's upcoming skating bday party
"Doesn't your mom have a walker you could use to roll in front of you?" ~Babah, already laughing at that image
"Well, I'm tryin' not to look like an idiot!" ~Rach
"Oh, that ship has already sailed!!" ~Babah, with all the sarcasm lol

"Man, Satan was real in Walmart last night! There were giant Reese's hearts and then the little Debbie snack cakes. It was rough."
~Tiffany on eating healthy lol

"It's always dangerous to go shopping when you're hungry!" ~Me, responding to Jon's story
"I'll be honest - I don't even need to be hungry to want it all!" ~Jon :)

(This reminded me of the time in 2008 when Chet and I went shopping for the express purpose of stocking up on healthy foods, then there were little girls selling candy bars right outside the store, and we only paused for a tiny second before we both bought one and laughed at ourselves! lol)

"I'm so ready for Friday to get here so we can stop seeing previews for Split!" ~Me
"Yes!! M. Night Shyamalan is a SICK MAN!" -Tiffany, super serious lol

Jaceman:  "Guess who hugged me today!? CLA-IRE!!  ...Kyndal, who hugged you?"
Kyndal Faith: "Nobody.... *shrugs shoulders* That's not nice!"
PRESHFACE! lol

Jace:  "Boys don't like girls sometimes, so I don't like them anymore!" 
(He goes back and forth on that a bit.)

Kyndal Faith, looking at the mousepad pic:  "Mama, up (making Rach move her hand with the mouse in it) ...That's you... and that's Lindsey."
Rach:  "Yeah!!" :)
K, laughing:  "And you're naked!" 
Rach: "Noooo, I have a shirt on right here, see." lol 

(This is the pic. Their innocent confusion on that subject is cracking me up every time!)

"May I say something about your baking? That... looks... really gross!" ~T-man, seeing the veggie bars lol

Jace (he's weirdly sensitive to certain smells and scooted away from me when they broght our food out at Cheddars): "Ugh, I don't wanna smell your nachos!!" lol

Jace:  "If there's ever a real monster, I'll go get my light laser and tell 'em to get the hell outta here!!"
"Well, maybe say heck, not hell." ~Rach, (after recovering from laughing)
"But they're MONSTERS!" ~J
"Yeah, but 'heck' is still good." ~R
"Okaaaay, but I'm still gonna use my light laser!!" ~J, meaning the light saber he got at his party

JEM: "Hey, your Blue Atlas Cedar is growing and looking good!
(Me looking around assuming he was talking to Chet)
Chet: "Your tree!"
Me: "Oh... hey, thanks!"
JEM: "That's a quote!" lol
