It has now become a family joke that I have been cursed when it comes to cakes. Remember my son's? Well, this time I was having it made. No worries, just pick it up---right? Wrong. It was supposed to be ready at 3:00. My husband went at 3:30, and they had no cake. They thought it was for the next weekend. WHA? Soooo...I got kind of a lame cake that I had to put Cheetah Girls cardboard on. The birthday girl didn't notice, so I guess that's all that matters.
I decided to make this more of a Cheetah-licious party and have a stage made out of tablecloths. The kids had a little curtain to go behind, so they could come out and "perform". Needless to say, it was a hit.
Yeah, well now he's this guy. FYI: He's a microphone hog.
There was singing, there was dancing, and there was a lot of laughter! Perfect combination for a stressful weekend, don't ya think?
I think I have 4 pictures of me (three more than last year, mind you), and this is one of them. How flattering.
Still no make up on, and my hair went up while it was still wet, but I guess it's a little better.
The little diva and her best friend. Happy Birthday, sweetheart!!

You are the queen of kid birthday parties! Can I hire you?
Love the pink boa on hubby. You know he must feel all at one with his manliness, winning in 27 seconds and all. When are you not partying?
you really know how to go all out on a birthday party. My kids would be so jealous if they saw this!
Oh how adorable!! I'm doing my little one's first birthday with hot pink leopard print and purple. Soo cute!
How fun! That looks like a great birthday party!
Love how you set up the pic of your husband in the boa. :-) Looks like a fun day was had by all!

Sorry about your cake troubles!
We have been so busy with school starting and blah, blah, blah that I have just caught up on your hubby's whole fight thing. I am sooo glad it went well. I can't even imagine how hard that is for you. My hubby and son love to watch that stuff, as I just shake my head in disbelief.
Your daughter's birthday was just too cute. I'm glad her day went well. Happy Birthday!!
I bow to your birthday parties...my poor kid lost the crap shoot and does not have a mom who can throw a par-tay. Glad your weekend went well!
You throw the best birthday parties!! I am literally LAUGHING out loud over the picture of your husband with the boa. He's a mic hog, huh? So is my husband! I have a sneaking suspicion if they were to fight over the mic, YOUR husband would win. ha ha

Oh. My. Word - how ADORABLE! What a fantastical mommy you are! :) That is so much fun! I am happy I found your blog - I just love it! I'm going to add you to my list because I think I'll enjoy reading you.
What a great bd party. What a dad will do for his little girl. : )
I'm so behind in my google reader - I have over 200 posts to read and I am just now reading up on all the excitment in your life last weekend - wow - I never ceased to be amazed by you - I would be a nervous wreck too if my husband was involved in anything like that!! Amazing party you put on too - you deserve the mom and wife of the year award!!!! Hope your husband realizes what a jewel you are!! (Make him read all these posts LOL!) And I agree with an earlier commenter, you have a natural beauty and charm that shines out even through your website!!
Now that looks like fun! I love the cagefighter up there with the boa!
You are such a fun mom. Why can't you live next door to me? Great job on the party!!
just found your blog through buzzings of a queen bee. Love the cheetah party idea!
Wow, I love your blog! I found my way here from Karnas Hus in Norway, and thought I'd leave a note to say I stopped by your lovely blog :) I am Susanne, by the way and I'm in Sweden.
Have a great rest of the week!

What an amazing party! I especially loved that photo of your macho hubby all dolled up in that pink boa!! That's a major blackmail photo...and gave me such a good laugh!
Linda
LOVE that party and the pink boa on hubby....the manly man with his boa....lol Looks like everyone had a blast!
I told my hubby about yours and mine had to watch the video you posted...told ya he was into watching those fights.
I just discovered your blog and went back and read it from the beginning! I Love it! Unfortunately I am a lurker/stalker and I have no blog of my own. I am much more a reader than a writer! My husband and I both teach high school so I can totally relate to your posts about the last day of school! Unfortunately we have been back in school for 2 weeks now and I am already longing (as are my kids)for Labor Day weekend and the 3 day weekend! Have fun!!!
What a cute party, I love all the cute ideas you have for them!
Okay, yippee! I just found your blog through Bridget at My Silly Blog (bigeeesblog.blogspot.com). She featured you today for Blog Day 2008, and I think she made a great choice! I've only read a couple of posts to far, but they were great. Your daughter is gorgeous as are you and hubby! Ooh la la! What a good lookin' family!
This party looks like it was a blast and I love the pic of your hubby with the boa on. Did you notice that your daughter was mid-jump in the pic and her pony tail is sticking straight up? It's great!
Okay, come by and see me at my blog and say hello!
Justine :o )
These pic's are too cute! And you still look great - even without makeup! :)
Love your blog!
