ATL continued...

Ok, so as promised... here are more pics from last weekend... My sister Kathryn's the type of girl who's so spontaneous... she'd do anything that she pleases whenever she wants... but she's also very responsible at the same time... (Except for this one time... but I thought it was hilarious!) She was my maid of honor at our wedding and we had 6 hours of Open Bar, so she got really really WASTED!!! She ended up leaving the reception way before it was over... so that's my funny wedding story everytime somebody asks me "What's the craziest thing that happened at your wedding?" And I reply... "well, my maid of honor got soooo intoxicated, so she missed half of the reception!!!"... haha... Anyways, like I said she's always trying new things and what not... so, here you can see... she's brave enough to stick her hand in the petting pool and she actually petted a sting ray and a shark!!! I mean, ok, they're baby sharks, but still... have you seen those teeth??? Alright, then! But that's what makes hanging out with my sister so much fun... she's just random like that... even if we're different as night and day, we still find time to hang out every now and then!

Haha... I thought this picture was pretty darn FUNNY... Imagine being the guy in the fish costume as "Deepo"--that's the mascot of the GA Aquarium--and being smothered by a football player??? I bet the guy was all like "Get off me... dang-it... I can't breathe!!!"... LOL...

Anyways... moving on to Bella's party... she had a pink-themed first birthday party. No, there really weren't any kids there, but it's more of an adult party... does that make sense?

Here are some pics we took...

Oops... ok, there was one kid... I forgot Marc's baby Caroline was there... but she's only 3 months old... so... yeah!

Here's when we were singing Bella a Happy Birthday... Darn, I wasn't in any of the pictures cuz I was taking them... Argh!



Here's Bella's Birthday cake... I love how it looks so cute and yummy at the same time...
My cousin Kim--Bella's aunt, god-mother, second-mother--planned this party for her and she ordered this cake from a lady who makes wedding cakes! It turned out quite well :-)



Bella got tons of presents... I got her 2 pink summer dresses and 1 FSU seminole dress... Ha! I love giving FSU stuff to kids as presents--regardless of whether his or her parents actually went to school at FSU... hey, I gotta somehow instill in the kid the "yearning" to someday decide to attend our prestigious Alma Mater!

Oh, and here are some goofy ones... Ron--Kim's boyfriend--is pretty popular... Check these out!!! haha...





Here's Ron with my brother Kevin





Here's Ron with my sister Kathryn






And here's Ron with my husband Rob






And more goofying around...





Haha... what the heck?








And finally... Bella goin' at it with her birthday cake in her birthday suit :-)
So, that concludes our ATL trip...

Well, it's Friday and we have no sales tax in Florida this week, so it's probably another shopping weekend... It feels good not to be on the road this weekend... Have a great one!
