100th Post-50th Birthday!

My Mama Lisa turned 50 last Saturday! About a month or so ago my dad and I started planning a surprise party for her. We'd actually talked about doing it last year then thought let's wait til the big 5-0! She couldn't have been more surprised. She had about 30 friends and family show up for her big birthday bash and you couldn't wipe the smile off her face. Her brother and his wife came down from Shreveport, my Dad's sister (also mom's best friend) and her husband and daughter also came from Shreveport AND mom's old friend from Elementary school, along with many of her sweet friends and their husbands. It couldn't have gone any better had we tried.

A friend of mine, Kandace made the cake. She did an amazing job! And it was yummy.

Zapata's is a GREAT place for a lively party! Not to mention the margaritas and fajitas are to die for. No, I didn't have a margarita.. but of course I have before! Scott made sure he took care of the drinking for the two of us. :)

As mentioned above.. we need a "grandma" name for my Mom! We've said Mama Lisa, but that's a mouth full for a little one. And I thought Gram but she wasn't so sure about that. She said Mimi but I think we've ruled that one out too. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

This baby girl may not be here as soon as I've envisioned.. which is okay! I went to the doctor this morning and I'm still dilated to a one. They did a sonogram and she's positioned where she should be which is great news but she still has some growing to do. She's measuring at 5 lbs 13 oz and the doctor said she'll probably be 6 1/2-7 lbs when born. So a little baby but a healthy baby. :) I got to see her sweet face again too! Love it.

  2. My mom wanted to be a MiMi.....it came out of my nephew's mouth as NiNi. WE LOVE NiNi. :) So no matter what it is, no telling what baby girl will come up with (WHICH IS BETTER RIGHT?!) I do like Nana too! In my family we have a Omi, Nonnie, Marme (like from Little Women) and a Neena. I want to be a Ya Ya....many many many years from now.
