and happy happy birthday...

first off to Carl. Then to Britton, Liz and Shelby.Your cards are in the mail! I apologize for them being late! We had a VERY VERY successful party. We had close to 40 people. It was so fun! The kids were the ones in the pool. We got in later with my cousin Cassi and the other cousins after most people had left. We were so impressed with those who showed up. We know so many of you came from all over and made it fabulous! We had plenty of EXCELLENT food. I did my pulled pork over night and it was great! Carls ribs were awsome! It was so nice to see everyone! Can you believe I didn't take ANY pictures!! Oh my gosh I'm shocked at myself! ha ha! I also couldn't believe the clean up! LOL! We were so exhausted last night and today but it was SOOO worth it! We will do it again in a heart beat, in fact we're thinking of doing it for the 4th of July!
Carl had an amazing birthday bash! I am so thankful and we feel VERY blessed that we have such good friends and family. He was very spoiled this year! I hope we can be the type of people our friends are!

I did get my hair chopped - it's soooo nice for the summer! It's not too short. It goes to my ears and it is so much lighter! I have a full head of red hair. It's gets HOT! It should be a quiet week this week. There will be some changes this week for Carls work. I've mentioned it before. Keep your fingers crossed!!
