Birthday Bar-B-Q

Well, we did it. It's 10 o'clock at night and we're still awake after a day full of fun, family and friends. I was so excited about all of the pictures, I had to stay awake to get them posted to this blog. A huge thanks to all those who came and to those who were there in spirit.

Thanks to the Cantrell's meat slicer, we had awesome tri-tip sandwiches, complete with grilled onions and mushrooms. Thanks to our friend, Tina, for making the beautiful Shrek birthday cake. Not only did it taste great, the kids loved the waffles on top. (You have to watch Shrek 4 to get that one.)

Although the temp was supposed to be over 100 today, it topped out around 97; and with the nice breeze that came along, felt like a cool 90. Honestly, it wasn't too bad. Makenna and Maddee were blessed with many gifts; we're very fortunate to have so many thoughtful friends and family. Our only regret is that Godfather Matt left his swimsuit at home. Even Daddy got into the summer spirit and wore shorts - he's the one with the really tan legs - hee-hee, not really. Maybe next year we can get all the cowboys to wear their shorts!

Well, I'm finally starting to fade. I hope you take a minute to browse the pictures below. I think you will see that fun was had by all!

Look Who's One!

Time flies when you're having fun, and this past year has been all that and more. Maddee celebrated her first birthday with her very own chocolate cupcake, a chocolate cupcake made with love from her big sister.

In a couple of Saturdays we will be having a birthday bar-b-q to celebrate both Makenna and Maddee's birthdays; will post pictures of that, too. Stay tuned.
