Surprise, Surprise!

I threw my bro a surprise birthday party on Saturday!  

His reaction? "I was looking forward to a quiet evening at home with tacos...."

Oh, that child.  But after the shock of having 15-20 friends there, the extrovert in him came out and he thoroughly enjoyed himself, I think!  After all, he did ask me about 4 times to throw a surprise party for him.  And he practically even handed me the guest list.  So the kid got what he wanted!

Happy Birthday to my little bro!

This is my brother, Mark.

And today, he's 19!  

I can't believe it.  One more year and he'll be 20....how did that happen so fast?

This week is a rather celebratory one in our family!

sooooo......

Happy Birthday punky!

You're the best brother a girl could ask for!

Have an awesome day!

Happy Birthday to a special lady!

Today is my mom's birthday!  

She's a pretty awesome woman...the way she balances work and taking care of the house and supporting my brother and me in all we do/have done has always astounded me.  

So happy birthday mama!  

I love you!!

P.S.  If you want to leave my mom happy birthday comments (which, let's be honest, you know you do), I'll make sure she gets them! :)

i'm back! (and a Valentine's post a week late)

Hi!

Remember me?

I'm Betsy.  

I'm back!

It's been a little while.

A week ago, a little thing called Valentine's Day happened.  I fully meant to post these photos in a timely fashion, but I just didn't.  Forgive me.

A few friends and I got a little messy making our own Valentines.  All three that I made are still sitting on my dresser.  I just never got around to giving them out!

But here they are:

So consider those my Valentines to you! ;)
