Geen Yight - She's Out of Sight: A Trip of Leaps and Bounds

[IluvXU]

So very happy you have Trent home. I am sure you are over the moon!

 

[micandminforever]

For Trent finding a job in Tn. that goes with his college degree.

I love the gawgie bone sandwiches and rice krispie treats. You have wonderful ideas for parties. Maybe when you retire from teaching you can become a party organizer for children's parties.

Once again love your new floor and stove.

Cont. prayers for Aunt Joan.

Where do I begin! What fantastic news that Trent is back. Is Tanya originally from Florida? I wish her well with the transition.

What a fantastic party for Bella. I love all of the little touches like ice cream in dog bowls and the food cut out in the shape of dog bones. It looks like Jill did another great job on the cake.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

***************************************

One other thing I forgot to mention:
About a month ago, Trent got a call about a job offer here in Nashville. He's been talking to the company off and on, and he decided to take the job. So, when he came home for Bella's party, he brought with him all of his belongings - and Tanya - and he's here to stay!

Or at least to try out this new adventure.
He really liked Florida, and he met so many new people. He hated leaving the clients he had come to know so well, but he missed home, too. He wasn't looking to leave. This offer just came out of nowhere and all fell into place, so it seemed like a good thing to at least try out.

I hope it works out very well for him. It seems like a good opportunity for him to use his degree and do something he loves.

Now we'll see if Tanya can get used to TN living.

He or she (or both) could end up back in the Sunshine State, but for now they're going to enjoy the hills of Tennessee.

One more thing you FORGOT to mention??!!???!!!
It is great that Trent is moving closer to home. I hope he and Tanya have an easy move and Tanya makes the transition easily. Good luck to Trent as he embarks on this new adventure.

How exciting to have Trent back in TN! You must be thrilled!!

As always, the MeMom clan really knows how to throw a party. Looks like a fantastic birthday full of all sorts of cute, creative Disney touches.

And your kitchen looks fabulous!!!

 

[disneyfan61]

You forgot to mention Trent is moving back home??? Woo Hoo!!! I am so happy for you, Jill & those beautiful girls. Hopefully everything will work out & Tanya will love living in TN. That is great news MeMom.

Love all the pics of the party. Bella looks so cute when everyone is singing to her.

Your new flooring looks just like mine so of course I love it. Love the new stove too. Makes me want to go out & get one now!! Instead I am heading to Walmart for some things.

 

[IndianaHoosier]

What a great party!!! You are so creative!!!!!
Happy Birthday Bella!!!!

 

[disneydreamingdebby]

Congrats on Trent being home!!!

Great new floor and stove!!! What a terrific party. I love the details. Huh, maybe that's why I am a Disney freak...the details...

Ice cream out of dog dishes, bone shaped foods, and a doggie obstacle course? You are so creative!

Glad the day went well after all of your tiring work to get ready!

 

[MagicShell]

What a great party! I love the bone shaped food, too cute. Bella looked adorable for her second birthday party.

Yay for Trent coming home. I hope it works out for him, I know you must be so happy. I can't believe you kept it a secret!

 

[nowellsl]

Looks like the puppies found a good home The party looks like it was tons of fun! Jill, you did a great job on the cake

I hope everything works out with Trent's new job! I'm sure he learned a lot while he was in FL and it will help him out in the future. I'm sure you are happy to have him close once again!

 

[Megablocks]

That is such great news about Trent! I'm so happy for you guys!

 

[Cat0727]

What a great party! I loved the gift bags and the TV, and all the other little "dog" touches.

Yay for Trent moving back home!!! Im so happy for you guys. I hope it works out for him and Tanya has an easy transition.

 

[sunny_stace]

What a fun party! Great theme! MeMom and Jill parties always look like such fun! That cake looked amazing!

And that's great news about Trent! I'm glad he's got such a great opportunity! I hope things work out very well for him! I know you'll be glad to have him home!

 

[Tink9721]

Hooray for Trent coming home! I'm so happy for all of you!

Looks like an awesome party!

 

[wigdoutdismom]

Just jumping in to say it was great seeing Trent and Tanya last weekend and the week before when we were in Orlando! They were quite excited about the upcoming move!!!

Well, Tanya was nervous about driving so far but I'm glad they made it safe and sound!

We will miss them on our Disney visits but look forward to seeing you all together next June when we pass through TN. and then at Disney in December!!!!

I really, really need to catch up on this report!!!!!

 

[Happy Elf]

Looks like an awesome party! You all have the best parties!!! Jill, if you have any fabulous ideas for a Tangled party let me know! I'm already working on a yarn version of Rapunzel's long hair for a door decoration, and the party's not until May, but I figure it might take me that long to get it finished!

Yay for Trent moving back to TN! I'm sure you are thrilled to have him closer to home!

 

[RinkyTinkyTinky]

Oh my goodness, Memom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't know where to begin!!!!! That is the most awesome news on Trent!!! There are not enough dancing bananas for me to convey the happiness I feel for you right now!!!! I know you are on !!! I am so, so happy for you. My heart just leaped out of my chest when I read that. AWESOME, AWESOME news!!!

The party is just too cute! I love the theme and the paw print balloons! All of it is precious! I would totally be a party crasher at one of your parties if I live in TN.

Your kitchen looks so good too! What an exciting weekend for you!! I love the floor and the stove. I got the smooth top stove when we moved five years ago and I will never go back! It is soooo easy to clean. LOVE IT! I'm so happy to hear that some good things are coming your way. We are all already so blessed, but it's always nice to get some bonus blessings isn't it? Speaking of bonus blessings... my DD got baptized this morning, so I am on myself! It was a beautiful thing to see, even though I can't help but see that she is growing up so fast.

I do hate to hear that about your aunt. I'm sure her recovery will take longer b/c of her age, but hopefully she will be fine in time. But you are right, things like that make you want to squeeze every ounce of life from each day. That's a good reminder for all of us.

 

[belleinpink]

Yay for having Trent back home!!!

 

[jeremysdisneymom]

I knew you were planning a party but had no idea it was Bella's birthday! How exciting. It looks like it was lots of fun.

Jill's cake was sooo adorable! She has a real talent.

Love the dog games! Too cute.

Love the new floor and new stove! I know you are excited.

I am sure you are happy to have Trent back home. I hope everything works out well for him and Tanya has an easy adjustment.

 

[MeMom]

Happy Birthday Bella! The party looked like it was a great time.

And I love your new flooring and the stove! Good choices Memom!

Thanks. I'm feeling like a rich person right now.

saw the pics on facebook too....it looked like a great party! Happy 2nd Birthday Bella! I got some ideas using cookie cutters for the food I think...only I will be using Mickey Head cookie cutters for our food! And I saw on disneyshopping that there is Mickey Mouse shaped macaroni that you can buy...so I might buy some of that and have my grandma take the noodles and make her hommade macoroni and cheese or just use it for pasta salad or something....I have about 6 months to decide....lol!

Mickey stuff is going to be easy to do. You'll probably end up with more ideas than you can even use! It is so fun to Disney shop on line. I went ahead and ordered that Cinderella Carousel pin from there the other day. It's fun to browse as long as you want without the crowds, too.

Memom that is FANTASTIC news!! I know you are so happy to have Trent home!!

We all are. He was holding Bella today on the couch and she was snuggling into him, and you could just see in his whole face how much he has missed her.

You guys throw the best parties. I love the doggie treats.
The new kitchen looks great.

We have fun with the parties. We've talked about how fun it would be to have a party place here at home and make it a business.

So very happy you have Trent home. I am sure you are over the moon!

I'm pretty happy. I do think going to Florida was a good learning experience for him, though, and if he leaves again, I think we'll all be more prepared for it.

For Trent finding a job in Tn. that goes with his college degree.

I love the gawgie bone sandwiches and rice krispie treats. You have wonderful ideas for parties. Maybe when you retire from teaching you can become a party organizer for children's parties.

Once again love your new floor and stove.

Cont. prayers for Aunt Joan.

Jill and I would love to be party planners, but our 'field of expertise' would be limited.

I think Trent is very happy to be getting in to the management and financial end of his job.


Thanks for the prayers. She has to feel really bad to not want to get up and see the beautiful weather like this weekend has given us. Normally, she would be out and about seeing the boys and going out to eat and busying herself with other things. Dawn said she just lays there and watches TV - she doesn't want to read or do anything. That is not like her at all.

Where do I begin! What fantastic news that Trent is back. Is Tanya originally from Florida? I wish her well with the transition.

What a fantastic party for Bella. I love all of the little touches like ice cream in dog bowls and the food cut out in the shape of dog bones. It looks like Jill did another great job on the cake.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Tanya has lived most of her life in Florida. I hope she enjoys it here, too. She already has her first job interview tomorrow.

Jill always does a great job on the cakes.

One more thing you FORGOT to mention??!!???!!!
It is great that Trent is moving closer to home. I hope he and Tanya have an easy move and Tanya makes the transition easily. Good luck to Trent as he embarks on this new adventure.

Well, I wanted to see him actually bring his stuff home before I really believed that he was staying.

How exciting to have Trent back in TN! You must be thrilled!!

As always, the MeMom clan really knows how to throw a party. Looks like a fantastic birthday full of all sorts of cute, creative Disney touches.

And your kitchen looks fabulous!!!

It's been an eventful week, for sure, with all of those things going on!

You forgot to mention Trent is moving back home??? Woo Hoo!!! I am so happy for you, Jill & those beautiful girls. Hopefully everything will work out & Tanya will love living in TN. That is great news MeMom.

Love all the pics of the party. Bella looks so cute when everyone is singing to her.

Your new flooring looks just like mine so of course I love it. Love the new stove too. Makes me want to go out & get one now!! Instead I am heading to Walmart for some things.

My buying new things has stopped until next income tax time! I just have a very little counter space in the kitchen, so I am hoping maybe next year at this time I can get a new countertop and sink. We'll see.

Bella just had that blank stare on her face, and then she would make no attempt to blow the candles out. I think she was pretty tired. She only had a nap in the car when we were going to see Joan, and that wasn't long enough.

What a great party!!! You are so creative!!!!!
Happy Birthday Bella!!!!

The birthday girl is on her way home now, and I feel sure she is fast asleep.
Glad you enjoyed the party.

Congrats on Trent being home!!!

Great new floor and stove!!! What a terrific party. I love the details. Huh, maybe that's why I am a Disney freak...the details...

Ice cream out of dog dishes, bone shaped foods, and a doggie obstacle course? You are so creative!

Glad the day went well after all of your tiring work to get ready!

We go a little overboard on the parties, but it's just so fun. Tanya probably thinks we're a bit crazy.

We have a stack of dog bowls here, if anyone else wants to have a gawgie pahty.

What a great party! I love the bone shaped food, too cute. Bella looked adorable for her second birthday party.

Yay for Trent coming home. I hope it works out for him, I know you must be so happy. I can't believe you kept it a secret!

It was a secret until I made sure it was real. Didn't want to say anything to you guys and then have it fall through.

Looks like the puppies found a good home The party looks like it was tons of fun! Jill, you did a great job on the cake

I hope everything works out with Trent's new job! I'm sure he learned a lot while he was in FL and it will help him out in the future. I'm sure you are happy to have him close once again!

The puppies did find a good home. They were so cute sitting all around. Thank you so much!

I think Trent did learn a lot - both on the job, as he got some great training, and in real life, about being independent and in realizing the responsibilities of being a real grown-up.

That is such great news about Trent! I'm so happy for you guys!

Thanks. it has been an exciting weekend. I checked in on FB last night, too, and saw Kristen's awesome news!

What a great party! I loved the gift bags and the TV, and all the other little "dog" touches.

Yay for Trent moving back home!!! Im so happy for you guys. I hope it works out for him and Tanya has an easy transition.

Those gift bags were so cute, as were the balloons.

I hope things work out wonderfully for Trent and Tanya, too, so that they will be happy here.

What a fun party! Great theme! MeMom and Jill parties always look like such fun! That cake looked amazing!

And that's great news about Trent! I'm glad he's got such a great opportunity! I hope things work out very well for him! I know you'll be glad to have him home!

A lady called him about an opportunity she heard about, because she thought he was a perfect fit for the job. She hooked him up with the guy who was in charge, and it all seemed to go smoothly from there. If the rest of it goes as well, that will be a real blessing.

Hooray for Trent coming home! I'm so happy for all of you!

Looks like an awesome party!

We knew about this when we were in Florida. I was hoping not to slip up and say anything, since he really wanted to wait until it was finalized.

Just jumping in to say it was great seeing Trent and Tanya last weekend and the week before when we were in Orlando! They were quite excited about the upcoming move!!!

Well, Tanya was nervous about driving so far but I'm glad they made it safe and sound!

We will miss them on our Disney visits but look forward to seeing you all together next June when we pass through TN. and then at Disney in December!!!!

I really, really need to catch up on this report!!!!!

They had a good time with you guys. They thought Harper was too cute, and they think Baylor is just great.

They'll miss those Disney visits, too. They always had a good time. We just need for you guys to drive to TN, leave your car here, and fly the rest of the way to Orlando. That way we all get to see you every time.

Looks like an awesome party! You all have the best parties!!! Jill, if you have any fabulous ideas for a Tangled party let me know! I'm already working on a yarn version of Rapunzel's long hair for a door decoration, and the party's not until May, but I figure it might take me that long to get it finished!

Yay for Trent moving back to TN! I'm sure you are thrilled to have him closer to home!

Brooklynn says she wants a Tangled party in August, so we'll have to do some brainstorming. We'll copy from you this time!

Oh my goodness, Memom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't know where to begin!!!!! That is the most awesome news on Trent!!! There are not enough dancing bananas for me to convey the happiness I feel for you right now!!!! I know you are on !!! I am so, so happy for you. My heart just leaped out of my chest when I read that. AWESOME, AWESOME news!!!

I read what you had posted earlier about your daughter, but since I've been doing such quick repsonses, I don't know if I acknowledged that. You have every right to be proud of your sweet girl. I know she will do much good for God in her life.

Yeah, I was really taken aback, as they say, when I saw Joan. It hurts to see her like that.

You're always welcome to the parties. Come on down!

Yay for having Trent back home!!!

We are a happy bunch. It was sure a lot easier for Jill to say goodbye to him when they left a little while ago. Two hours away is so much better than ten!

I knew you were planning a party but had no idea it was Bella's birthday! How exciting. It looks like it was lots of fun.

Jill's cake was sooo adorable! She has a real talent.

Love the dog games! Too cute.

Love the new floor and new stove! I know you are excited.

I am sure you are happy to have Trent back home. I hope everything works out well for him and Tanya has an easy adjustment.

Yes ma'am - the little sweetie will be two (or as she says it 'tyew') on Tuesday.

Trent and Tanya just left to go meet with Trent's new boss and I think check out where her job interview is. They seem excited about the new things, but I'm sure they will have some stresses, as Trent's job will be very time consuming. For now, they don't have to worry about food or lodging. Trent's room is pretty much the same, and we have the empty back room. They're more than welcome here, and we'll see how things play out from here.
