Birthday Wishes!!!

Yesterday was my niece, Brooklynn's NINTH birthday party!!! NINE people! I have a nine year old neice....what's even more unbelievable is that I have a nephew that turned SEVENTEEN on the fifth of this month as well. So, basically, I've been an aunt since I was twelve years old and I wouldn't change a thing. Brooklynn is totally in the "High School Musical" phase, so that was the theme of her party. Besides getting new Browning coat, she got a cool new Hannah Montana bicycle. Wish I was still excited when my birthday rolled around. But, why in the world would I want to celebrate the fact that on my next birthday I will be 29? Nope. No reason!

This is our friend, Carole's, little girl...Annsley....she's so quiet and reserved....I swear I never heard the child talk....SOOO much different than Brooklynn.

Here's my sister, Manda Panda, as Daddy calls her.

This is a recent picture of my mother and I. Can you see the resemblance?

And here are me and my good friend, Valerie, right after church this morning. Still good friends after all these years!!

Another after church picture of my mother and Brookie.

So....I just couldn't resist going to visit little Ann Marie and Sarah again. This time, becky, Meagan and I all went to give Sarah some company and human contact. This little girl got sooo much attention from all of us and was a sweet, little angel while we were visiting. I'm glad we all could entertain Sarah, even for just a little while.

Here's "Aunt" Becky" and Ann Marie....she was wide-eyed and bushy tailed when we got there!!

Then, it was "Aunt" Meagan's turn. I think Megs was a little nervous, but Ann Marie didn't mind getting passed around at all.

Since, this weekend was the opening weekend of deer season, all of us girls became "deer widows". I was so anxious just to have the bed for myself for two nights it was ridiculous. Of course, I missed Jared. But, I got some heavenly sleep while he wasn't here. So, it was really low-key weekend for me and it was WONDERFUL!!! Sure hate that Monday is already almost here....but, I'm looking forward to this upcoming weekend where Jared, myself and a few friends will be headed to Starkville to see the Arkansas/Mississippi State game. Should be lots of fun and the perfect opportunity to take more gratuitous pictures!!

Later my little pretties,

Cute and Adorable Overload!!!

After work today, I had the pleasure of going to visit one of the cutest, sweetest newborns here in Lake Village!!! May I introduce to you Miss Ann Marie Sabbatini. She was born around 5 pm on October 29th to my friends Sarah and Dino Sabbatini. Of course I had to take some gratuitous photos to mark the occaison!! She is soooo cute....without the pacifier, you would be able to see her perfect, ruby red Angelina Jolie lips (thanks to the full pout her mother sports). She has her father's small, precise little ears and her mother's other small features.

Of course, she fit perfectly in my arms. I think I'll ask Jared for one of these for Christmas!!! Hee hee...maybe not Christmas...but soon!!! On to the cuteness overload.....




Can I get a collective "awwwww"? Sarah, I'll babysit anytime....I have references, I swear...just ask my nieces and nephew!!!

Baby lovin' Angela!

Halloween Party Extravaganza!!!!

O.k.....I know I haven't posted in awhile...I've been holding out to post about our first annual Halloween party!!! It was a complete success to say the least. Everyone had a great time and just about the entire crowd came in costume. We worked really hard to decorate, provide plenty of food and some rockin' music! I think the overall number was somewhere between 140-150 people that came through the front door. That's not counting those who hung out in the parking lot and "socialized"...tight wads....anyway, we are already planning the second annual party for next year.

So, without further adieu....here are a few of the pictures I took...and by few, I mean a small selection of the 177 pictures I took throughout the night....If you want the entire collection, go check out my Myspace album under my profile.

Enjoy!!!!

Can't wait until next year! It will be even bigger!!!

Glad it's over,

Angela
