UBP ’09 – It’s a Party!

by

Ultimate Blog Party 2009

Hello there everyone and welcome to the party! I can’t believe it’s time for the Ultimate Blog Party already! Thanks to 5 minutes for Mom for graciously hosting again!

If you’re new to these here parts just know that I am a Texan but don’t always talk like one. It just comes out on occasion.

As my blog name suggests, things can be pretty “miss elaine-ous” around here.

I mean you never know, I could post about why it’s good to do your kegels or it could be a post of my favorite photos I took the week before for Weekly Winners.

Or, I may post about a good cause or even how much I love my boys and my husband.

Whatever it may be, it’s usually about my family, friends or just life in general.

Here’s a picture of the current family of four from last weekend.


Oh and there’s “a bun in the oven” that is just 11 weeks along. We are very excited to add to the “miss-elainey” that is our lives! Oh and a sweet, darling baby too! : )

We aren’t partying TOO hardy around here lately just because I’ve been feeling a little “off” with this pregnancy but we will be getting in party mode very soon as we have 3 birthdays coming up in the next couple of months and I’m about to enter my second trimester!

Here are pics of my boys from their last birthday parties, to get you in the partying mood and of course so you can see how cute they are. : )

This is The B Man who loves all things Thomas and train related.

And this is Little G who loves all things food related, especially cake!

I also want to mention that I am hosting a monthly carnival the last Friday of every month called “Past Post Parade.” Here you can link up to one of your older posts from a year ago at this time (or if you have not been blogging that long then from your earliest days of blogging!). I will host the carnival again next Friday, March 27th. Join us, it’s a great way for other bloggers to read things you’ve written in the past and get to know you!

Well, I know there are LOTS of stops to make but I’d love to “see” you again so if you’d like to follow my “miss elaine-ous” life you can do so in my right sidebar. Enjoy the party and Happy UPB ’09!!

As for the prizes, here are my faves:

Ergo Baby Carrier provided by A Giveaway Addicted Mommy

$25 GC to eco Store USA by Rachel @ Little Bites of Heaven

$40 GC to Carraba’s Italian Grill by The Divine Miss Mommy

And these would be nice too…

  4. I love your blog name!! The picture of your family is awesome, we only try to do a family shot once a year. Here’s to a smooth pregnancy! Thanks for stopping by.

  5. Love the birthday cake pictures… aren’t you so glad you are almost to the honeymoon trimester? Only thing better is not being pregnant at all! Have a great weekend.

  6. Fun party, Elaine! I love that picture of Little G with the cake – such BIG eyes. Lol. So cute. Nice family shot, too. And of course the B man with his cupcake is adorable, too.

  13. Congratulations on number 3! I keep trying to hint at my husband that we need just one more to make 3 but I think it might be a little while. We’ve got our hands full with our two and one year old. Happy UBP! Hope to see you on my blog! By the way, LOVE your blog name!

  17. Hello! Nice to “meet” you! Your family is beautiful…and congratulations on your pregnancy! Good luck and have fun with the birthday parties! 🙂

    Party on!

  20. I’m a regular around here, but wanted to at least stop in for the party. I love this time of the year when I get to get out and party around the blogosphere. Hope you had a great week and enjoy your weekend.

  21. Happy Blog Partying! And your boys are super cute eating their cakes. Wow 3 parties in a row. I’m tired just thinking about that feat.

  23. Hi elaine, just another elaine checking in from the blog party.

    Blessings and peace to you as you get ready to birth a princess! I had three boys and then, finally a girl. She is cut from the very cloth of her momma. What fun!

  26. Hi there! I’ve been gone for almost a week, and I’m so far behind, but I’m glad I didn’t miss your UBP post. Hope you win something!

  30. Hi! Party hopping hippie grandma here in Colorado. I am participating too so stop in for a visit. Party on!

  31. Your little boys’ bday photos are just the cutest. Is there anything more heartwarming than seeing a one-year-old dive into cake?! Thanks for sharing the sweet photos.

  33. I love your blog name. It’s nice to meet you. I loved the kegel post and yes, I would have warned you about the t.p., I promise.

    I can’t believe some strange woman picked up your baby and kissed on him. I had strangers stick their fingers in their mouths (to see if they had teeth) and lean in and kiss them, but never actually pick them up without asking.

    Oh, and congratulations on your precious new addition!

  36. Hey! Just stopping by! I’m sure you don’t remember me, BUT, when I went to your profile after you left a comment on MY blog (after you got to my blog through McMommy…), I realized I TOTALLY used to lurk around your blog! LOL Small world!

  37. Hello! Poppin’ in from The Ultimate Blog Party…all the way from Queensland, Australia! G’Day! I hope you have time to visit my party soon.

    Ta!

    I want to invite you to the Mommie Daze Virtual Baby Shower that I am hosting May 15 to June 8. This is an international even and there are prizes! Stop by my blog for all the details.

  42. Hi Elaine! I just wanted to say hello from Announcements Galore 🙂 Congratulations on your pregnancy! And, a reminder to your readers, Announcements Galore is sponsoring one of the prizes for the party, so check us out!
