Happy Birthday Phyllis!

Saturday we drove to Jackson and helped Andy throw a bash for Phyllis' 50th birthday. Don was in charge of crawfish and they turned out quite yummy. There was tons of food and beer. I think everyone had a great time and got plenty to eat.

Now we are getting ready for our trip to Texas to see Ed and Anne get married. We plan on leaving Tuesday night and just seeing how far we get. We should be in Austin sometime Wednesday. We'll be staying in a lake house with Heather and Jamie and family. We are so looking forward to it!

We Love You, Jesse!

We made the decision yesterday to have Jesse put to sleep. He lost weight every week the past month, and the cancer just continued to grow. He was in pain and was not going to get any better. Surgery was not really an option for him. The tumor was too large and the cancer too aggressive. It was such a hard decision to make, but there was no reason to have him suffer any longer.

Goodbye Jesse. You brought us so many smiles and laughs over the years. You will be missed!

Happy 4th of July!

The 4th turned out to be a great day. Lots of friends came over and we swam, ate and enjoyed the pyromaniacs at work.

Don brought the massive MAE grill home and it handled the task quite well. Of course, with these two as head grill gurus, how can you go wrong?

Once again, Matthew was completely outnumbered by the girls. Sean was either sleeping or invoking a fight with the ladies as to who was going to hold him next. From the looks of it though, Matthew didn't seem to mind being outnumbered. Such a ladies' man!!!
