Birthdays

We celebrated our birthdays over the past two weeks. Tristen is now a quarter century!!! One OLD HOT MOMMA!!! We had the big yard birthday cake inflatable out in our front yard and some random high school girls stopped by and gave the birthday girl some guppies. It was pretty funny... awkward... but funny. For my birthday we had my side of the family over for a BBQ. You can see the girls and I out on the hammock. I was teaching them how to get the seed out of the cherries from our tree... and Abby, thinking she had the seed, pulled out a worm. I tried to teach them not to eat the ones with the worm holes in them, but that apparently was ineffective. Nothing like some extra protein. Then I had to tell her since she swallowed the seed she may get a cherry tree growing out her ears... she bawled... of course. Mean uncle Mitch. We had fun birthdays and are thankful for the gifts we received... especially the cookie dough from my mother-in-law. The minute I think I am ready to cut back on the calories and lose some poundage my sweet mother-in-law decides I need a couple rolls of cookie dough to fatten me up so they can push on my stomach like I'm the dough boy. If only I had some self-control with sweets. Also, we can't help but appreciate the inappropriate cards from Troy. Last year it was the old man who needed to fart... this year it was the tan man in his fluorescent green speedo sun bathing. Thanks Troy... you scar us for life one card at a time!!!
In preparation for Tristen's baby shower, we took some pictures of her and her prego profile... sounds like some spaghetti sauce or something!!! Kayc we posted that picture just for you... and if you haven't noticed I have now learned how to post pictures in the post so you can click on them and they are as big as you want them. NOW... you better be happy and I better not here you complain anymore!!! You've got both your wishes.
