Juel's 3rd Birthday Party and "Cooking Bryan"!!

What a wonderful day today was! Little Juel's 3rd birthday party, my how fast the time does go by!! This year was the first year all four of us were able to go to the party! It was a beautiful Cinderella themed party with all the themed decorations you could think of. Rhonda and Laura worked hard putting it all together and it was definitely a success. Juel was a very gracious host and was as beautiful as ever!

Then, just when the party was starting to wind down, Uncle Mike comes up with an interesting idea, at 6:00pm. He says, "let's get a pig!" So from there you can image how it went. My girls thought that was just the coolest thing ever! (I don't know where they get that from!!) So off goes Mike, Travis, little Tyson and Gabriel, and Madi and Tori! Hysterical!! The big debate was whether or not to soak the pig in the bath tub or in the kiddie pool. Well, the kiddie pool draped in plastic won. So while the six of them left to get the pig, the rest of stayed and prepared the pool. At some point Rhonda asked Mike what he was gonna do to the pig to cook it, his reply was to brine it. Well with all the discussion and laughter Rhonda heard "Bryan". So from then on Mike was cooking Bryan for the pig!! O.M.G. what a time!!

When they got back, Tori recounted the whole experience of picking up the pig for us, very entertaining. I guess at some point Gabriel wanted to know if they needed a leash to get the pig home!!

Sweet Birthday Girl!


Gee cutting the cake!

Merry Christmas Everyone!!

Another wonderful Christmas with my wonderful family!

We are very lucky to have all that we do and the events of this past year have taught me if nothing else, that the only thing that truly matters in life is being with,  loving, and caring for our family and friends. Life is short, try not to take anything for granted!

 
I know, I'm a mean Mom for what I did to her hair!
