sunday was the PERFECT day for karlie, alec and randy's party – sunny and warm with a slight breeze. 

we hung some of their jerseys and sports tshirts on a clothes line.

we think randy was the first to eat.

karlie and aunt nani (these pictures are courtesy of my sister – i knew i wouldn't be able to do that along with everything else – THANKS DEANNA!!)

the cooking area –

there were so many people.  karlie was afraid it would be boring but having the 3 families combined made for lots of people to talk and mingle with.

lots of bags being played. 

mitchell loved the tractor.

hitting some shag balls into the field – the graduate getting ready to show the boys how it's done.

jordyn and eric

thanks to all my friends for coming.  it meant a lot to me and karlie to have you there.  sorry i couldn't spend more time sitting down and visiting with you.  you all are great and I LOVE YA!

at the end of the night (12:30pm when we shut it down – some of her close friends still hanging around playing bags), i asked kar if she thought it was a boring party – she smiled said no way. 

so, it's all cleaned up and i am starting my few days of rest – i think i am heading to the cabin.

have a great week!!

what a wonderful day.  no tears on my part.  just so proud of her and her friends.  hoping they are all being safe and smart tonight.  and looking forward to a fun party for these 3 tomorrow. 

buddy got a haircut yesterday and he is so proud.  when he got out of the truck he just strutted around the other 2 dogs like – "ha, look at me"

we tried to get him to sit still for a photo session, but that didn't work too well.

he had enough of that, then went and to lie down in the dirt under the bushes, ugh!

getting ready for a party here –

alec rolled the yard, i mowed and the tent came in the afternoon.

keep your fingers crossed for us – sundays forcast is sunny and 80.  man i hope that doesn't change. 

have a great day.
