baggo & spanish karaoke

what a great weekend at the wood hood! we celebrated j's freedom from school all weekend long. we needed a weekend to recover from the weekend! i have to toot his little horn - among working 50+ hours a week this summer - he pulled out an excellent GPA! B in Calculus and A in Literature! Yipeeeeee!

friday night - we had big fun at our house. a great group of friends gathered for some yummy food, convo, and baggo/cornhole!

we got our very own personalized Baggo set this weekend! i ordered it from here. they're actually located in AR! check them out. haven't ever heard of baggo? have you been living under a rock? you can also read all about the game on their site. check it out - it's great fun!

pretty neat, huh? MPants & Woody are our nicknames, in case you didn't know.

I love you, J!

along with celebrating the weekend & school being out for a few weeks, we also had a little early birthday party for J. his birthday is this actually coming up this weekend but he'll be fishing in arkansas with his grandfather - a tradition he has done since he was little :)

happy early birthday, J! and, we're starting at new tradition at our house. no more regular birthday candles. we're forever 21!

somehow, we ended up at a mexican restaurant (my favorite) later in the evening for some authentic spanish karaoke and spanish dancing. i think we were the only people who spoke english as a first language. we had a blast. and no, this hat was not given to us at the restaurant - it was in patty's garage. yes!

OLE!

that was just friday night!!

saturday - we woke up entirely too early and headed out for a fun day on the lake and wrapped the day up going to The Pond to hear my cousin's new band - The Last DJ, A Tribute Band to Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers. it was so much fun & they did a great job! check them out on myspace. http://www.myspace.com/thelastdjband

needless to say, sunday was a day of rest at the wood hood. we literally spent all day laying around and resting. it was a great weekend!! thanks to all who came to play with us on friday - we had a ball!

j & i love you, doss. we're here for you and are praying for peace and strength for you and your family.
