I almost forgot to post about our eventful weekend! 
Saturday my mom got us free tickets to the Duke Football game, she is a Duke Health Raleigh Hospital (previously known as Raleigh Community) Employee. I am not a Duke Football fan normally, I am a Tennessee Vols football fan by marriage.
GO VOLS
The Duke pictures above are just for decoration since the real pictures are stuck on my broken cell phone! The festivities started at 4:00pm with a buffet dinner, face painting, moon bounces and a parade all before the 7:00pm kick-off. It was really hot and we were all sticky as we headed down to the stadium. Jody, myself and Lizzy stood in line for snacks while my parents sat in the stands with Emma & Anna, we realized as it started to rain that we had the rain ponchos with us...we were all drenched but welcomed the cooling rain! I was trying so hard to keep the popcorn dry that I slipped and fell straight on my "booty" (tailbone) going down the stairs to my seat and dumped all but 7 kernels of popcorn. I was a mess as I handed my mom her popcorn, laughing, crying, all the while rain pouring down! The lightning started and we decided it wasn't such a good idea to sit on the metal bleachers...just as the announcer stated we were under a weather delay. My dad had decided when I had the "popcorn incident" to go with Lizzy to get more popcorn so now we were on a mission amongst the large crowd to find my dad & Lizzy. Jody decided to look up the doppler radar on his phone to see what kind of weather we were looking at...there was a severe thunderstorm warning as well as a flash flood warning! We decided that was the end of our Duke football experience and boy were we glad we left because there was an hour and a half weather delay and the game didn't get over until close to midnight! I took pictures during the day but of course they are on my cell phone which is broken because I had it in my hand during the rain storm...we'll see if the people at Verizon can get them back?!
Sunday morning I got up and finished Lizzy's birthday cake (I had baked all the pieces the day before it just needed to be assembled). Lizzy absolutely loves airplanes lately so of course I couldn't really find anything that was a girly airplane theme. I also couldn't find an airplane cake pan so I decided to make an airplane cookie with a large cloud behind it with Happy Birthday Lizzy in the cloud and a house for effect. As we were walking out the door to church I realized there was something seriously wrong with her cake, the picture to the right is what I saw,
notice Lizzy's name....Both Emma & Lizzy were standing right next to me when I realized the missing piece, the search was on for Anna. Jody found her under her covers yelling "I didn't eat the Y"!!! She proceeded to show Jody it wasn't in her mouth, but the green mouth & tongue were dead giveaways coupled with green sprinkles all around her lips! I snapped a picture of her post discipline and crying, you can't really see the evidence from the picture, she always manages to pose for a picture?! Right after church we had a family birthday party at Blue Jay Point...(we wanted to celebrate very simply this year) where we ate pizza, chips and pop (soda as you southerners call it) the girls played with bubbles, with cousins and on the playground. Lizzy opened her presents and it began to thunder....party over, we left the park with about 1 minute to spare and it started pouring! All in all it was an eventful weekend of Football, Falling and Phone drama but FUN!!!
