Fun.
Gotta love fun. Good old fashioned getting together with friends.
Fun friends. Fun food. Fun music (over and over again). Fun drinks. Fun house.
Went to Portland for a birthday party Saturday night honoring two of our friends: Kyle and Jonathan - as seen above in the ultra-fun party hats. The beautiful lady on the bottom left is Jonathan's wife Heather. She is a good-fun party planner. Especially cause she had ice-cream cakes.
And then there were the pinatas. Seriously fun. Hurt your stomach laughing fun. Kyle chose the Sponge Bob - we brought the scary clown (so glad to see that one go).
The young man with the bottle above is Kyle again. Love him. Chris has been friends with him since high school. He gets a little silly on his birthday. Silly Kyle is crazy-fun Kyle.
The beautiful girl on the top right is Robin. Love her too. She is married to Michael, a friend of ours from college. A very fun friend indeed. The kind you always want to have around.
And the man on the bottom right is mine.
He was creating his signature lemon drops. And man, those are very fun.
A great father. An authentic man. Love him...through everything...fun and not so fun.
SO glad you had fun times after your heavy weeks end last week.

Looks like you had a blast! I bet that was a nice break after a long week. I mean, who could resist a Sponge Bob pinata? So funny!

The scary clown is scary, but the sponge bob is even more scary- there is something wrong with that sponge bob- his mouth or something is freaky- maybe it is the nose....LOL.
Looks like a lot of fun!

What fun! And CHEERS to Heather! Organizing a good party is not my strong point and I truely admire somebody who can throw a memorable fun for all.
We used to live in a beach house and our artsy fun neighbors came up with this really fun idea... a BOIL! Everybody brought soemthing you could boil and eat. In the morning we went clam digging, and then started a big beach fire with a big pot of sea water. through out the day we boiled up things like, crab, clams, corn, rice in boiling bags, potatoes. It was a fun sandy toed, belly filling good time with lots of inspiring creative funny intelligent friends. It was a great day. :)

Love seeing your photos as I'm aspiring to better my own technique. :o) We went to a surprise b-day party for one of my hubby's friends Saturday night too--also very fun, especially since the b-day boy had NO idea that his wife was planning his party. :)
Glad you had a terrific time! Looks like it was a wonderful party!

Hi Ali,
This blog of yours is so much fun to look at and it's so good to see you have fun.
I just want to drop by and comment on the layout you did on this month's issue of Creating Keepsakes.
(If you're not sure what I'm talking about, it's the layout you make with green color card stock, and there's information on how to scrapbook, etc).
I love the layout and the colors you choose.
Take care, Ali
Yvonne

Love what you said at the end there about an authentic man and loving your husband through the fun and not so fun stuff. That totally sums up my feelings about my husband and soulmate. We have been through a lot together - my diagnosis and battle with a serious illness, the stillbirth of our son, and many other things - but we still love and laugh together as well as supporting each other through those bad times. THAT is what love with the right person is all about and you summed it up in so few words!
Glad you had a good time at the party - it looks like a real laugh fest!
