Shine's 14th Birthday!!!

Happy Birthday to our Shine!!!
I know it was yesterday but I was dealing with some things that one day I will be able to share here, but for now, I just want to say that I have the best daughter in the world. She's great!!!


This is her at school...I took Taco Bell to her for her and her friends to celebrate..of course, when she walked thru the gate with her food, everyone said,
"Happy Birthday Sam!!!"..I wonder if the food had anything to do with it?

We decided to give her a party in a few weeks for good reason..I shall share more on that a little later, but we wanted to do something special on the night of her birthday,
so we decided to go to dinner.
This is the kids in the car on the way to dinner....


Alisha, Shine and Bethany waiting for our appetizers...fried cheese sticks..yummo!!!


Kameron, Shine and Brooklin...I sure am blessed!!!

The boys....looks like Kam is trying to help me out there...

What is she drinking anyway??
I just love this girl...as she is growing, she is becoming my friend.


Brooklin and the bird...no it's not the Egle bird, but the "Red Robin"..she should have made him do her famous pinkie promise!!!

"Mom, please don't make me do this."

This is quite scary!!!Where did our dates go?

This girl was quite hungry...she prayed and ate before we all even realized it...she was giving the kitchen help a hand...she loved her mac n cheese.

Shine and her bday sundae...they sing to her on the video below.

Shine and Kameron...he got her the movie Bride Wars. Such a cute movie and Shine loves her movies.

Shine with her presents Aunt Sheri and Unle Rick sent to her..she made Kameron carry those boxes in the resturant. Then she laughed at him.

Cute sweatshirt from Aunt Sheri and Unle Rick...she decorated herself with the wrapping...Cute!

What's in this bag? It's from mom & dad...it's an ipod,iphone, cd,radio, alarm clock...no excuses for not waking up now. Waking up is not the problem, however, getting up is...yes she's 14. It's normal.

The three of us..

Shine,Bernie and Kevin..so glad they could join us. We thought Bernie needed a break from the wedding plans. Just for a bit Bernie..

Shine and Mema...she took Shine shopping Thursday night for her birthday. She bought her the outfit and flip flops she was wearing in the first picture. She wanted something to wear to school the next day for her birthday.
Thanks Mema!!!

Of course the birthday song!!!!



Ok, so when you go anywhere with our family, there's always a funny story...
well, this night was no exception...here it is:
(if you don't want to hear, plug your ears, better yet just plug your nose)....

Brooklin went to play on the games and Shine came to tell me she thought Brooklin had an accident in her pants (well, actually she said, "Mom, I think Brooklin crapped her pants").
So I went to check her and sure enough she had pooped but this one was a little different than the norm.
It appeared to have been present at one time in her pants but now it was missing.
Could it be?? No way!!
This is too much even for the Egle's,
ok so this time I may agree with Unle Rick, the Gump's!!
We searched everywhere and could not find the missing item, we did smell it though..we looked under the table, chairs, games, followed her tracks and nothing.
Even Kevin, Berndette and Bethany helped with the search.
Everyone was looking at us like you do when you watch everyone search for something in a public place, mostly wondering, "what did they lose?"
I was just really hoping no one would ask, and they didn't, thank goodnesss.
Well, we never found it..even had we found it, what would we have done with it? Well, it's obvious that we would have picked it up like dog poop but really in a resturant, and as you are walking away it is at table level and smell level for everyone. No WAY!!!
As we decide that it's best to just stop looking and leave, Bernadette says, "Lets blow this joint"...my only response is, "Well, I think Brooklin already did."
So if you are reading this and work at Red Robin or any resturant, I am completely sorry and would have taken the evidence away had I found it.
We did leave an excellent tip, but I'm sorry, it still would not have been enough to deal with that.
So there you are...you never know what will come up (or out) when you are with the Egle's. It's a fact that I do now agree with.

Well, that was Shine's birthday night. As I said earlier, we are giving her a party in a few weeks. Will be a blast...she knows of the party but not the details of it. I refuse to share with her.
She will love it. That's all I'm saying for now.

Anyway, we love you so much Shine!!!
We hope you had a great birthDAY!!!
There's more to come.

Til next Time with T!!!

For those of you who don't know what today is, well.....
Happy National Scrapbook Day!!!
What a happy day...all the stores online and local are having great sales, make-n-takes, special visitors, and usually either everything in the store is on sale or you get a discount at the register on everything you purchase.
How much fun is that?
So be sure to visit your local scrap store today, so you don't miss out!!!
In other business today,
Shine has Cheer tryouts today for high school.
She has practiced and is ready to go.
Mom is a little nervous because this is the "Big" school. Have you seen the boys? They look like overgrown men.
What am I going to do?
Is it ok for mom to go to school everyday with her?
Yea right!! Ok so now I understand why mom's and Gma's have bruised knees from being on your knees praying.
Anywho...Shine we wish you all the prayers and luck!! We believe in you!! You are a great Cheerleader!!!
So here's a little video of her practicing, however, she has a partner.
Take a look.....

That little girl looks up to Shine so much. I love it!! It's just like I do to my Big Sis..(I know...sounds mushy, but it's true) I just think it's cool that Brooklin looks up to her at such a young age and Shine is a great big sis. It makes my heart all big and smooshy!!!

Anyway, a big day for us around here...

I'll keep you posted on the cheer tryouts...she is supposed to know later today...cause Monday is a parent meeting(to tell us how much it all costs..oh Lord!) and Wed is uniform fittings. Didn't we just finish all that????

Don't forget to visit your local Scrap Store!!! I will be!!!
