WOW!

I saw this on YouTube yesterday. It's a group of kids from a local church who had a "flash mob" at Hanes Mall, where I work. I was actually working at Old navy when this happened, but I had no idea it took place, since the food court is on the opposite end of the mall of Old Navy. I LOVE that they chose the song, "The Earth is Yours" by Gungor. I LOVE Gungor. What an awesome testament of faith. Apparently, it was a huge hit. P.S. I am exceptionally proud of these teens even though I don't know them. To speak (or sing) so freely of your faith is NOT easy. These must be some pretty cool kids. :-)

If you could take 2 seconds and give this a click, it would mean so much to me! Thank you!!

Toy Story Themed Sweet 16?

Today my mom sent me an invitation to my youngest sister's sweet 16 party. She is having a fish fry with our family and a few of her friends. It's a no frills ordeal, to say the least. Mommy then Facebook messaged me (you wish your mom was that cool) asking if I was planning on making Hannah the umbrella skirt she so desperately wants and has begged asked me nicely for for the past month. Mommy then told me about how she's making Hannah a Jessie cake. It took me a minute to wrap my mind around that. Jessie, is the rootin tootin' cowgirl in Toy Story 2 that befriends Woody and learns that she, too, can be loved unconditionally by a child even though her first kid threw her away. Anyway, so my 16 year old sister...16, not 6, wants a Jessie cake for her birthday. Alright then. So...I thought to myself....what can we do to jazz it up a bit? How can we make a Jessie Sweet 16 Party?



Well...first of all...we're going to make some of these...

And I'm going to make her one of these...

And add some fried fish, mom's cake, some side dishes provided by various family members and you get a Sweet 16 Jessie Party! Stay tuned for pics of the actual party (which is March 19).
