Connor's Birthday..

Friday March 27th, was Connor's Birthday so we decided to have a good old fashion pig roast with a keg and lots of good friends. No snow storm was going to stop us.
In the morning Stella, Connor and I set out in the snow to pick up out 70 pound pig and a HUGE grill. We had to drive up to Lafayette to Arapahoe Pig Roast to pick it up. On the way home we made a stop at Costco and at the cake shop.
It was a HUGE hit and we totally pulled it off. Buying a 70 pound whole pig takes a long time to roast... 8 hours to be exact so we rushed home after picking the pig up so we could throw it on the grill asap to be ready in time for everyone to show up at 7. We had Stella all day until I dropped her off at her dads for the weekend at 5pm. She was so enthralled by the pig she didn't want to go but on the other hand she was really excited to go see her dad, step mom and Arlin.

Here she is. We named her Miss Piggy, not too original but funny non-the-less.


Here is Miss Piggy grilled up and almost ready to eat and here is a picture of the cake I bought for Connor and Adam (Connor's Brother) his birthday was on Wednesday March 25.

Ryan and I having a little fun with the pig...and Connor and I working on pulling all the meat off Miss Piggy. Good Fun!!
The cake was a little extra heavy due to the full bottle of Scotch built into it...Connor and I sneaking in a little picture. :) Love this guy!

Ryan, Susie and I ...and the other picture is up Susie and I finally kicking our feet up at about 1am just in time for a fun little drinking game.
We ended the night at about 3am. I think that's the latest I've stayed up in YEARS. Boy did I feel old this morning, not hung over because I hardly drank but man I'm not built for staying up that late anymore. Ha
Today Connor and I hung out at the house for a very mellow day and did a bunch of cleaning and napping. It was so nice to have such a layed back day. Tonight we met up with Ryan and Susie for a little sushi dinner and a movie. We went and saw I Love You Man. You should all go out and see it. It's a great date movie full of lots of really awkward moments and some really funny moments. Hoping everyone if having a wonderful weekend. I feel like today should be Sunday considering Thursday and Friday were off, but tomorrow is Sunday Fun Day...Woo-Hoo!

Meaning To....

I've been meaning to post pictures of the finished wall at the office for a while now but it seems like every time I remember I'm either not near a computer or something else gets in the way. Well ...here it is, we decided not to do different patio layouts on top, those are going in a different spot but we did put some large slabs on top so we could display our furniture. Now, on to the next 1,000 different projects I have in mind for around here... only that's going to have to wait till tomorrow, the lil one is not feeling well so my mama went and picked her up from school and I'm heading to the doc with her in a few hours to get her checked out. Don't think it's anything major just chest congestion , runny nose but no fever. Nothing a little rest and TLC wont fix! I love the fact that everything is finally starting to turn green. Green makes every thing look better! :)

Ski Team!

A few weeks ago Stella started training with the Eldora Ski Team every Saturday. Now Saturday's can't come soon enough. I get up at 6 and get Stella up at 6:30 and we are out the door by 7. Usually we get up to Eldora around 8:30 after making a stop to get mama coffee and Stella and donut or two! :) By 9am Stella is ripping up the slopes with her coach (Dave) and 5 other little girls her age. She is having such a blast it's hard to believe we didn't do this sooner. I never noticed these signs before and thought it was pretty cool the ski area was showing some love to the local ski programs. Stella proceed to then inform me that they've been there for quite some time. Oops! :) Stella and two of her little ski buddies! Stella ripping up the GS course! At the end of the day which is usually at 3 all the kids have to help tear down the course. Stella is doing such an awesome job that it makes me one proud mama. Much Love!!!

on fire tonight.....
