Mother's Day May 2010

This weekend we celebrated Mother's Day!! Brent and I had everyone on my side of the family over for Mother's Day on Saturday and I loved every minute of it. Brent grilled up some good chicken and beef fajitas and I prepared all the sides as well as make a yummy white chocolate key lime moose pie. In the end it was worth hand squeezing 10 tiny key limes. After dinner we opened presents and Brent got to dig into my home brew kit that got delivered the other day. When Brent was opening all the boxes he discovered a box full of Cole Haans shoes. The delivering guy made a pretty big mistake cause there was probably $1000 dollars worth of shoes in there. Don't worry Brent and I are going to return them although Brent saw a pair he loved and thinks the store should give them to him for being nice and returning all the other shoes, we'll see I guess.
Sunday, we spent Mother's Day at Brent's moms house and she and Dave fixed a tasty pork loin, Mexican mac and cheese, deviled eggs and fruity salad. I love her home cooking, its sooo good. After dinner we Vicki opened her gifts then we went out back for a few rounds of ping pong, which I totally stink at by the way. It too was a great day, I wish all weekends could be this good.
Happy Mother's Day!!

Jerod's 9th Birthday

I can't believe my little nephew is 9 years old. He is growing up so fast but he is growing into a smart, charming and loving little man. Michelle did an awesome job as usual on throwing a totally themed out Luau Party for Jerod and all his friends. His invitation was the cutest...Michelle dressed him all up Hawaiian style and took his picture in the sand box outside their place and it looked like he was on the beach in Hawaii. I think this was the 3rd year in a row where we had his party in mom and dad's backyard. Rain threatened to spoil our fun but luckily it held out and actually made for a very nice day. The kids got to slide down the shark slip-in-slid, munch on hamburgers and hot dogs, have a silly-string and water balloon fight as well as top their favorite ice cream with all the topping imaginable. They ended the day with a good game of limbo and presents. Jerod had a blast and I can't wait to see what we do for his 10th Birthday!!
