A reason to have a party

Last night we had some friends over for my 30th birthday party...Just another reason to get people together and have a party, really... We ordered pizza, had cake and ice cream, played Apples to Apples and Boxers or Briefs (they are alot alike actually), and we hit a pinata.

Kate's Texas Sheet cake -- my favorite cake -- and 30 candles

Greta and Doug

Tana and Hanah

Sammy and I in our party hats (mine has a "birthday girl" ribbon that Bradley made me wear)

Hanah and Tony's daughter Jenny


Mike playing Boxers or Briefs...pondering which of these are true about him:

I have holes in my underwear

I have a great body

I have a loose screw

I have skills

I have to study for a blood test

I have toilet paper on my shoe

Of course, he answered I have skills, but Jes thought it should be the one about his underwear!

Next round he pondered these...

I am the king

I am out of my freakin' mind

I am lord of the puppies

I am the Wicked Witch of the West

I am going to sing my favorite song right now

I am more than you can handle

he decided he was lord of the puppies, given his 2 furry kids at home

Me and my pinata

Dawn took the first try...Kate took the 2nd try


I took the 3rd try and broke it open (accidentally..I thought we'd get 2 rounds at least)

Roger's try -- it became "let's see if we can break the whole thing open to get all the candy" and "smash his face in"

Doug

Jenny trying to get the rest of the candy


Candy out of the mulch, for the 2nd time this year

So what is the pinata? It's a referee..Brad got it in honor of my favorite NFL ref Ed Hochuli...I like watching him ref games as much as I like watching the Cowboys. Does it look like him?

Ed even has several websites about him and some great "What Would Ed Hochuli Do" gear...check this out.. I love it.
