Chelsea's "Minute to Win it" Party

Sweet Chelsea had her 26th birthday last week and hinted at her desire to have a party like this. I had never seen Minute to Win it, but I went and checked out the videos on their website and I couldn't wait for the party! Check out our version of the game show:

First, the teams:

(Bob, your eyes are closed...)


(aka Hot Wives Club)





Sugar Turds

Now, onto the Games! Each game is to be done in 60 seconds or less.

 First up, the Breakfast Scramble:

Assemble the front of a cereal box that has been cut into 16 even pieces.






Next, Penny Hose:

Begin with panty hose on your wrists, retrieve penny for the end of pantyhose without hands or forearms coming into contact with any other body part. If penny touches the ground, the game is over. 



Bite Me:

Pick up 5 paper bags of varying heights using only the mouth and placing them on table. No part of body, except feet may touch the ground.




Bucket Head:

Catch 3 tennis balls in bucket on top of head. One partner bounces it from the ground to the wall, and the other catches the balls in the bucket. Sound easy? Not so much. Our ball kept bouncing OUT of the bucket!


Egg Dance:

Balance 2 raw eggs on 2 separate serving trays (held upside down) and transport them to a final destination without dropping. Any dropped eggs result in game over.


Face the Cookie:

Using only the face, move cookies from forehead to mouth. If cookie gets to the mouth, you must eat it in order to receive another cookie. Receive one point for each cookie.








Ready Spaghetti:

Using a shared spaghetti noodle and no hands, pick up soda cans and move to another table. One point per can moved.




We also did Junk in the Trunk:

Wiggle a box that is attached to your waist filled with ping pong balls until the box is empty. No hands allowed. 

But alas, I needed a video camera to capture this. All the pictures came out blurry. It truly was a sight to behold. 

And the winners were: THE ULTIMATES!!! They proved their "ultimate" status, with the Sugar Turds barely trailing. Good job everyone!

What a Wonderful Weekend...

We spent some time in Dallas this weekend to participate in the events surrounding Cathy (Allen's sister) and Ryan's wedding. We had such a lovely time with our families and celebrating this wonderful couple as they said "I do." Allen officiated the wedding and it was a beautiful ceremony and reception. Since Cathy and Ryan are both graphic designers and super-creative, it was really fun, trendy and every aspect well thought out. I didn't get too many pictures from the actual wedding, but many from the rehearsal and dinner. A special thanks to Nanny, Papa and B for taking care of the kids while we were celebrating!

Feed Your Brain


This wonderful program starts tomorrow. The kids participated in this program from Half Price Books last year and it was such a blessing! We read to our kids (as per usual) and we got free books just for doing what we normally do!

Taylor Joy thought it was great fun to be able to pick out a new book every week and now Beckett will be able to as well.

I highly recommend doing this with your kids this summer.

You can download the reading chart from the website and print it off and then just bring it in weekly to redeem your $3 towards a book (MANY are $3 and under).

Have fun investing in your kids as you read together! It is such a privilege and honor to teach these children and finding great books is half the fun.

Picture Update

Here are lots of pictures from the past few weeks that I have been meaning to post, including: a circus outing, hanging with Uncle Ryan and Aunt Cate when they came into town, Easter festivities, among others like bath time.

Taylor Joy has become quite the photographer these days and she LOVES doing it. She took all the pictures in the Ryan/Cate segment. It's actually nice that she can take them for us! Anyway, enjoy! I'm working on a preggo update as well.

Fire Station Field Trip

This was our second field trip to the Fire Station and may I say, MUCH more successful than the last one?

While last time Taylor Joy actually DESPISED being there, this time she did NOT want to leave! Crazy how a little time changes things!

We went with my MOPS group last week and the kids had so much fun!

Check out the pictures:


Taylor Joy and Beckett on the ambulance (she LOVES her little brother...perhaps a bit much at times! But I'm so thankful it's this and not the other way around!)


On the back of the fire truck...


Crazy Taylor Joy!


Taylor Joy and a friendly fireman...


Precious Beckett with his hat and badge...cutest fireman ever!
