lastnight

we had a party. a big party. a big surprise party. it was her twentyfirst birthday after all. we could not celebrate it like a twentieth birthday. this one called for us to go out. all out. and we did. oh we did. first we wrote on her car. then we decorated the front room. all while she was wide awake in her bedroom telling me to turn off lights. then we went about our day. normally. at least thats what we lead her to believe. when in reality we were taking trips to partyland in st.george. baking way too many things and sending out texts informing people of the party we were having that night. she came home. and we acted normal. i was doing homework and so was kylie. kassidy was over. but thats the usual. laykin was also here. now that is turning into a habit for her. a good one i might say. anyway..back on track. we were all home. trying to act normal. we did pretty good. until i said " kc wants to know what time the party is tonight." yes. i did say that. oh. i thought i had blown it. until kassidy and rachel both said. "what party?" and thats when i made up the biggest lie. ever. "oh..the one at andrea's." and of course. rachel had to ask more questions. "kc knows andrea?" again another lie. "yeah they hang out all the time. you didnt know that?" then thankfully kylie interrupted with a change of subject. props to you. highfive. after getting all dressed up with our makeup done and our hair did. we went out to dinner. just me kassidy and the birthday girl. kylie and laykin stayed behind to set up for this wonderful occasion. dinner was delightful. we talked we laughed and we tried not to hint to any surprise. it didnt help that my phone was being blown up by people asking when we were arriving home. when we arrived home kassidy and i both hesitated at the door. neither of us wanting to open it. it was a surprise for her after all. but of course she wouldnt open it. which left it up to me. they surprised the wrong person. at least she was behind me. the night was perfect. the best company and the best food. virgin margaritas and virgin jello shots. cotton candy cake brownies cookies and much much more. everyone was out by midnight. perfect timing. seeing after midnight it is no longer her birthday. so happy birthday rachel. you are twentyone.

cheers.

happy birthday benjamin.

my saturday night has been great. one of the best in a very long time. family brings the most joy. at least i think its true. and. i have the best family ever. so that is a plus. my mom chose the right kids to adopt. anyway. let me fill you in on why this night was so good. it started out with me. and my sister. being in a really good mood. and i thought to myself. might as well make good use of this. right? exactly.so i walked into my brothers room. and forced him to get off his butt and come hang out with us. finally after 15 minutes of nagging. he agreed. we got into his car and decided to go see transformers 3. after arriving at the movie theater. he came up with an amazing idea. nickel city. so we hoped back into the car. and drove right to nickel city. and this is where the fun and games began. literally. we can be a very good team when it is needed.

 

driving to nickel city       winning tickets          counting tickets

955. thats how many tickets we were able to conjure up. i felt like it was a pretty good amount. for being there for only about a half an hour. with 5 dollars each in nickels. we got our moneys worth. and there is no need to worry. we used our tickets wisely. very wisely actually.

 creep one                creep two              creep three

yes we got a good laugh out of this. actually lots of good laughs. after realizing that we were having so much fun together. rachel and i realized that it is bens birthday on monday. so. we did what any good sisters would do. we dedicated this night full of fun to my brother. since we work on monday and cant celebrate then. after playing with our staches. we all went out to get bens birthday dinner. costa vida. brought it home. sat on our back deck and ate while the dogs played. it was a good night. one that i will not be forgetting any time soon. so i would like to say. happy birthday brother bear. you really are such a great big brother. i love you. ya.
