The party was great!  There was just so much food… not to mention a lechon, a roast beef, and desserts galore.  My parents went all out.  Not to mention my sister getting this huge Mickey Mouse cake! (and a smaller cake for Jaeden to go ape shit with)  The entertainment was definitely worth the money.  My sister hired face painting, balloon animals and Mickey Mouse to do some dancing and sing Happy Birthday to Jaeden.  The company was great and everything went smoothly.  Kids are so cute!  Anyway, here are some of my favorite pics.  I took video of Mickey Mouse and the kids but its on my sister’s camera.  Hopefully I can take all the clips and combine them into a video using iMovie.  Since I’ve recently gotten into learning more about video, this is a great starting point.

(And if you don’t have one, why?) I don’t really have a favorite poem, but I have a favorite quote.

“Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could; some blunders and absurdities have crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; you shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson

I love this quote because it makes sense. I know there are days when I deal with dumb stuff but at the end of the day, I did what I could and should be glad to wake up to another day with the things I do have.

It’s crazy to think that 2010 is upon us in a matter of weeks! My little cousin was actually born in 2000 and it’s crazy that when I was in my senior year of high school, she was just a baby. Fast forward 9 years, she’s a big girl, almost turning 10, and I’m getting married next year!

I think you’ll find this video pretty interesting too.
