A Tonka Truck Birthday Party

By Pamela
Little Tucker turns 1 year old tomorrow and we celebrated today. His momma wanted to have a Tonka Truck party and it was the cutest! Tucker is destined to be the life of any party; he enjoyed eating, singing and most of all dancing at his party.

Here are some photos from his cute party!

Meg's made a cute pennant banner that said Tonka Truck. She also cut out various big trucks and used them too. I love how one letter is a circle and the next is a square!

How cute are these sugar cookies! Almost too cute to eat...Almost!

The big people's birthday cake. 

Both cakes, Tucker's individual cake pan  is in the foreground and the bigger cake in the background. 

Dumpcake served in a dump truck.

At the last minute, the party was moved to the garage. Uncle Gary Lee opened the garage door and how cool did the pennant banner look hanging like that!

The birthday boy himself! He is sporting a handmade shirt by his Momma. Made out of the same material as the banner.

Lots of gifts! He was amazing at opening presents!

Another gift! I hate to say this but a musical birthday card might have received the biggest reaction from him. He was dancing and groovin' all over the place!

CAKE CAKE CAKE. Tucker gets to eat cake! We could not even get a posed photo of him and the cake because as soon as he saw the cake, his fingers were in it!

I am not sure if he enjoyed eating as much as  he enjoyed playing with it!

yummy yummy! He finally picks up a piece of CAKE and not just FROSTING!

    This is very useful information on your birthday party. Last month, I arranged my nephew’s birthday party at one of beautiful LA event venues. Invited all my family and friends for this party and we all had great time together.

My Weekend Project: A PVC Camping Lamp Post and Flag Holder

By Pamela
I have seen a few of these around campsites and I knew I would like to have one. The only problem that I had is The Husband. He already thinks we drag too much stuff with us when we go camping and if I had told him my desire to have a PVC Camping Light Pole he would have shut it down quickly! So, that leaves a girl with only one choice: Figure out how to do it by herself. I did some internet searching and found a few road maps on RV forums. They seemed easy enough! I visited the local hardware store for the supplies: An exterior post lantern light 2 inch PVC pipe (I used 5 feet but had to purchase a 10 foot piece) A 3 inch toilet flange A 3 inch to 2 inch Reducer PVC Glue A 12 foot electric cord kit 2 - 3/4 inch PVC Caps I also used a few supplies we already had on hand: White Spray Paint 3 1/2 foot - 3/4 inch PVC Pipe Drill Bits (1 inch and 1/2 inch) Tent Stakes The first step was preparing the lantern light. I could only find black i

Liver Cheese: A Family Tradition

By Pamela
Today is an anniversary date. One of those dates you wish you did not have to remember but there is no way you can forget.  Fifteen years ago today,two days after his birthday, my father died of lung cancer. He was a lifelong smoker and his cancer was aggressive. His battle was short. He fought for six short months after his diagnosis. He knew the chemo was not working and that his time was limited. When he came to this realization he became the best dad in the world.                                                In the days before my father's passing, my family shared some memorable moments. One of those moments centers around the deli meat: Liver Cheese.I would not be surprised if you have never heard of it, or even never tasted it. But I was raised on it as it was one of my Dad's favorite things.  What is it? Well, it is a German food that is actually called Leberkase. It is bacon, corned beef, pork, and onion that is ground together and baked. It comes with a

Tonsillectomy (Warning Photos!)

By Pamela
The Short Chic came down with a pretty nasty case of strep throat back in April. So, when The Boy started complaining about his throat hurting about 12 days later, I was pretty confident that he had inherited his sister's strep. Instead, The Boy was diagnosed with a peritonsillar abscess growing on his right tonsil.  We had to immediately see an ENT  Physician who took a needle and drained the abscess. He removed about 5.5 cc of puss from The Boys throat.and then told us that once you have a peritonsillar abscess you were high risk to keep getting them. The Boy's tonsils were now compromised and needed to be removed.  We were told to plan for a two week recovery so we worked a surgery into our summer plans. Between family vacations, summer sports, and the beginning of school The Boy had his second surgery. A tonsillectomy.  Pre-surgery prepping went well. It must be nice to be young and have healthy veins for an IV! The Boy had lots of pre-surgery visitors. My
