You're Gonna Miss This

Every single time I get in the car recently, I hear "You're Gonna Miss This" but Trace Adkins. I guess it's a "hint"...repeatedly. I tear up every time I hear the last verse.

You're Gonna Miss This
She was staring out the window of that SUV
Complaning, saying "I can't wait to turn 18"
She said "I'll make my own money,
and I'll make my own rules"
Mamma put the car in park out there in front of the school
Then she kissed her head and said
"I was just like you"
You're gonna miss this
You're gonna want this back
You're gonna wish these days hadn't gone by so fast
These are some good times
So take a good look around
You may not know it now
But you're gonna miss this
Before she knows it she's a brand new bride
In a one-bedroom apartment, and her daddy stops by
He tells her "It's a nice place"
She says "It'll do for now"
Starts talking about babies and buying a house
Daddy shakes his head and says
"Baby, just slow down"
Cause you're gonna miss this
You're gonna want this back
You're gonna wish these days hadn't gone by so fast
These are some good times
So take a good look around
You may not know it now
But you're gonna miss this
Five years later there's a plumber workin' on the water heater
Dog's barkin', phone's ringin'
One kid's cryin', one kid's screamin'
She keeps apologizin'
He says "They don't bother me.I've got 2 babies of my own.One's 36, one's 23.Huh, it's hard to believe, but ...
You're gonna miss this
You're gonna want this back
You're gonna wish these days hadn't gone by so fast
These are some good times
So take a good look around
You may not know it now
But you're gonna miss this"

Cupcake Party

Kellen loves the computer. He can get on it and play computer games and even print kid recipes from his favorite sites (playhousedisney.com, nickjr.com, pbskids.org). He also looks at the party ideas they have and is CONSTANTLY asking for parties.

So, I finally gave in, and converted his "muffin party" idea into a cupcake party for his Phelps cousins.

So Kellen made invitations on the art program on one of the sites, and 7 little cousins were invited over for lunch and decorating cupcakes.

I made 48 cupcakes and 6 cousins made it (only one girl). Luckily the weather was nice on Wednesday, so the kids played and ate outside.


Then they came in to decorate cupcakes. Each kid got enough cupcakes for his/her family. They got to take them home and share them. They all had a lot of fun and played together nicely.



Bridger's creation - can you even SEE the cupcake?


My own creation! This is my kind of party! I loved being able to get out all of my sprinkles!

And Kellen was asking for another party before the day was over...
