Dad's Birthday

On Friday we celebrated my Dad's birthday at my sister, Stacey's house. It was an Australian themed party. We have started doing theme's for the birthdays, it's just way more fun that way! The way we dress, the decorations, food, music and alcohol all goes with the theme. On my way to Stacey's, Britt and I stopped by Albertson's to get a large black marker. The plan was to make neat signs on cardboard for part of our decorations, but we found a wooden pallet and it wouldn't fit in my car so we had to bring it home like this:















We made cute wooden signs that would see in Australia.












































































































We also made a few Australian signs:

Baby Update for Stace

I am so happy for my sister, Stacey, and her husband, Jason! On Friday my sister had surgery to remove her eggs...they were told that 15 eggs were removed which is so exciting since they thought she only had 12. She is now starting a daily progesterone shot in the hip (ouchy!) They received a call from the Dr and he told them that out of the 15 eggs they took, 13 were mature. Mature means they are able to be fertilized. Then out of the 13, 10 of them fertilized and are now considered embryos!Yay! So they have 10 little babies in an incubator, staying warm, growing by the second. They will hear from the Dr again on Monday with the quality of each embryo and how many are still alive. I'm so happy for them and can't wait to hear what the news is...keep your fingers crossed and thanks for all the prayers!

This is a picture of her eggs

Canton

On Sunday my mom, my sister Stacey, her husband Jason and myself went to first Monday in Canton. We had such a blast shopping for old stuff that has been fixed up, and crafts! I bought 3 pairs of sunglasses, 2 crosses for my cross wall, a black sparkly "Happy Halloween" that sits on my kitchen counter (I'll take a few pictures of our Halloween decorations and post later....and yes we have already put them up).

My horse racing hat I need to buy if I ever plan to go to the Kentucky derby!




















Stacey's hat, it looks like a gardener's hat!

Baby Marley

EXTRA EXTRA...READ ALL ABOUT IT!

We have added a new baby bull to our gang! He is only a couple days old and is the cutest thing ever. His name is MARLEY.

An Average size newborn baby calf is 70-100 lbs, so he is somewhere between that.
