Bridesmaid Dress Birthday Party!!!

So for my birthday I decided it was a great excuse to finally throw a bridesmaid dress party, I have been wanting to do this for awhile now!!! We all have at least one in our closet that we spent way too much money on and will never wear again so why not come up with a reason to break it out again. So I gathered all the ladies here in Houston and told them to wear an old bridesmaid dress and to make it extra festive I made a wedding centerpiece and bridesmaid bouquets for everyone. Aly helped finish it off with a cupcake wedding/birthday cake and we even had a bouquet toss for all the single ladies :) So now onto the pictures!!!

And last but not least the surprise of the night.

So Tim and I dressed up for Halloween last year as Dog the Bounty Hunter and his wife Beth. I needed some enhancement and it was a major hit at the Halloweeen party.....well the ladies wanted to break out my new boobs and we all did a little modeling with them.

Here is the picture of the real Dog and Beth and if you don't know who they are along with our Halloween getups.

Here is a quick preview of my party tomorrow

Many more images to come :)

I can't post without including our little trouble maker. He gave me a little scare this week but after many expensive tests and a day at the vet he is recovering well with some antibiotics and new food that should be easier on his stomach. I guess one of the million things he got into his mouth gave him an intestinal bug. His energy levels are back up plus some!!

Here is one of him after I picked him up at the groomers today. Soon after this he tried to chew the bandana off so it was removed.

Pirate Ben

I just wanted to take a minute to let you all know about this amazing family. Pirate Ben is a 6 year old little boy who is fighting for his life. I can't even to begin to understand what this family has been going through for the past 15 months but what I do know is how strong and resilient each one of them is. I have know Ben's mom, aunt, and grandparents since before I was born and I have always known they are a special group but they have been through a lot of challenges this past year and their strength and courage has amazed me. When you hear stories like this it makes you step back and realize how unfair life can be sometimes. I think it is good for all of us to take a minute and let ourselves try to feel just a fraction of what they must be feeling. My heart goes out to Lil' Ben and the entire Sarrat and O'brien family. We love you all and are amazed by your story. Read the whole story at pirateben.blogspot.com.
