happy birthday....

"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, I'm so DEPRESSED that David Archuleta didn't win, happy birthday to you."

boo hoo, sniffle, sniffle :(

Yip, that was pretty much what we were singing last night at Raegan and Haylie's birthday/American Idol finale party last night. I'm still in denial. When Ryan Secrest said that the winner is "David.......COOK", I couldn't figure out what was happening. I thought, "David WHO? Who is Cook? Where did this 'Cook' name come from?!" I just couldn't wrap my brain around what he had just said. I cried. (Okay, I cried only on the inside - there were way, WAY too many people in the room for me to make a fool of myself by crying out loud. Come on! I'm a forty-year-old woman for goodness sake. Get a grip lady!)

The Davids, moments before the......(sigh)....announcement.


This was as Ryan Secrest was saying "David......." Look at the faces on these kids. The suspense was truly intense. They were all about to pass out, if I didn't pass out first.
Waiting. Waiting. Waiting...


The winner is announced. Pure and utter devastation!


Okay FINE! The night was not a total loss. We still had the birthday party portion to look forward to. It's a good thing we had the birthday to get our minds off of the previous "Archu-let-down".

Raegan and Haylie are so lucky! They share the same birthday, May 21st (actually lucky for mom - ONE cake, ONE party - yee haw!).

Haylie cutting the luscious homemade lemon-buttermilk cake!


Raegan and her new Anthropologie top. I think when Raegan blew out her birthday candles she wished for a million dollars so that she could go on a shopping spree at Anthroplogie - she's a bit obsessed with that place! (There's nothing wrong with dreaming, honey!)

HAPPY 17TH BIRTHDAY RAEGAN!!

HAPPY 13TH BIRTHDAY HAYLIE!!

(It just hit me - I have 3, THREE, teenagers now! Help?)

First of all, you'll only have three teenagers for... eight more months. Then you'll have a 20-year-old. That's more freaky, in my personal opinion... (I'm getting OLD!!!!)

Second of all, I'd just like to say how happy I am for David Archuletta. He has proven to the world what amazing talent he is blessed with, and I believe he has a successful future in the music world ahead of him. Sad he didn't win, but hey, he made it to the top TWO! Way to go, and congrats, Archie! :)

Oh, and third of all, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY TWO FAVORITEST SISTERS IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD!

Wow, I can't believe Brooke is going to be 20. (Happy Birthday Raegan and Haylie!!) I am SO old!

You poor OLD thing...I don't even have any teenagers left! So sorry about David A...we watched the last 15 minutes (hey, I had a Trails meeting) and I had already heard it on KSL...so my heart was ready for the heavy grief. sigh
Actually, I have only seen a glimpse of AI when I come home and MIKE is watching it!

Happy birthday to your adorable daughters! Yikes! Three teenagers? How do you do it?

That was a clever birthday party theme. I am so sorry to hear your house full of fans were so bummed. I do like DA, but here in Austin, we were all cheering loudly when David Cook won! We loved him all season, but were happy to see David A do well too.
