This Pool Party was originally hosted by Sara over at Life with a Leach.

The cake…oh my at turtle cake. How stinkin’ cute is that cake?!! That little turtle just puts a smile on my face. The table setting was bright and fun and I really like the netting that she hung above with all the little sea turtles on it.
Have a look, leave a comment, and then hop on over to Sara’s Blog to see what else she’s got going on!
Enjoy Sara’s party…..

We celebrated Landry’s first birthday today complete with a turtle-themed pool party at my uncle’s pool and pool house. The weather was perfect and although Landry skipped his morning nap, great fun was had by all. I think the kids had a nice time swimming and playing in the water table and on the inflatable water slide. The only notable mishap was that we forgot to unload the ice cream from the car and didn’t realize it until it was time to do cake. Oops! I had planned on making Landry a turtle cake with help from my friend Amanda, but with the funeral and everything else I threw in the towel and asked Amanda to take care of it for me. Once again I was amazed by her talent. Absolutely precious cakes as you can see! It’s late, but I wanted to share a few pics from today. I’ll try to post some more later.
obviously like your web site but you have to take a look at the spelling on quite a few of your posts. A number of them are rife with spelling problems and I in finding it very troublesome to tell the truth then again I¡¦ll definitely come again again.
Hiya, I am seriously glad I’ve identified this information. Now bloggers publish just about gossips and web and this is truly irritating. A very good internet site with intriguing content, that is what I have to have. Thank you for keeping this web-site, I will be visiting it. Do you do newsletters? Can not locate it.
Thanks , I have just been searching for information about this subject for ages and yours is the best I’ve discovered so far. But, what about the bottom line? Are you sure about the source?
Hey there, You’ve done an excellent job. I will certainly digg it and personally recommend to my friends. I’m sure they will be benefited from this website.
The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod’s. It works well, but isn’t as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that’s not an issue, but if you’re planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod’s larger screen and better browser may be important.
Between me and my husband we’ve owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I’ve settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.
Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass’ favor.
Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It’s very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.
The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it’ll do even better in those areas, but for now it’s a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod’s strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.
Sorry for the huge review, but I’m really loving the new Zune, and hope this, as well as the excellent reviews some other people have written, will help you decide if it’s the right choice for you.

This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like ‘Mixview’ that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you’re listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of “neighbors” will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune “Social” is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.
