We couldn't just let Cinco de Mayo pass by without a celebration! I mean who wouldn't want delicious tacos, chips and guacamole on Cindo de Mayo???

We had a beautiful night out on in our backyard with all my favorite people. Nora wore her little Mexican dress and it was a great night! Of course, I had to do Cinco de Mayo trivia and Holli brought Jarritos and Horchata for drinks! Another great party for the books.

The delicious spread! Carnitas tacos courtesy of me!

Just two little buds chilling. Oscar and Trey. 

Nora's Birthday Party

We had another great birthday party for Nora's second birthday! I found this cute cowgirl skirt and it inspired me to have a cowgirl birthday for her! She also had the cute boots and it was just meant to be!

We invited all her little friends for Texas sheet cake and ice cream in the backyard and it was a lovely night. We were so blessed with amazing friends in Texas and a great entertaining (read: BIG) backyard!

Cowgirl decor! 

Greeting her little friend Finn! 

With her most favorite Auntie Jen!

Is that the cutest smile or what?

Jaymie's Baby Shower!

I'm just a party throwing machine this past January! It was so fun to throw a shower for Jaymie's first baby! Jen and Cami helped me host and we had an awesome turnout of like 30 ladies-Jaymie is one loved lady!

We had a lot of fun playing "The Price is Right" that Jen hosted and it was so fun! Then she read Matt's answers to an interview she did with him about baby stuff and Jaymie and Matt had mainly the same answers. She got tons of cute baby clothes and necessities and we all had a great night!

Yay for baby Kai and Jaymie! 

Jen made this yummy avalanche bark

"Price is Right" game

So many presents!

All the ladies! And a few even late before this photo! 

Her volleyball friends! 

Jaymie and her hostesses! 

Selfie stick fun! 

Love you ladies!!

New Year's Party

I've always wanted to host a New Year's Party and decided this was the year! I invited lots of friends and their kids and embraced the chaos! I asked people to dress up and bring appetizers and something bubbly and we ate good food, then played minute to win it games, did a ball drop (around 8:30) with drinks and then dance partied until each family's kiddos were ready to go home. And did I mention the jello shots? Virgin of course! A roaring success if I do say so even when it was crazy and my house was packed. I love having friends who always indulge my constant need to party!

Had to use the selfie stick for the party! Amber is always a willing participant! 

My lovely Landen!  

 Secret Amber selfies on my phone!! Pretty lady!
