HILLBILLY HEAVEN!!!

This post will be all about April's thirtieth birthday shared with her Aunt Kathy.

She wanted to do a hillbilly party so I did the only thing that made sense.  I made a call to Jocelyn!  Jo knows how to plan a party like no other.

Holy crap!!!  The stuff we did!!!  We made wiener calamari, white bread sushi, kd, tater tots, wings, a pinata made out of a beer box and more.  We planned games...like spam carving, rude toilet paper and plunger game, karaoke, and more.  Lots and lots of beer drinking!  

The next day we all converged on Craig and Jo's place again and did some hot tubbing

THESE PICS ARE TOTALLY OUT OF ORDER.  ALL HANDS ON DECK!

CHARCUTERIE BOARD MADE WITH..BOLOGNA WIENERS TOASTIES AND PLASTIC WRAPPED CHEESE SLICES/WIENER CALAMARI/ WHITE BREAD BOLOGNA CHEESE SLICE AND PICKLE SUSHI/BIRTHDAY CAKE MADE OUT OF TWINKIE ASSORTMENTS

SELF EXPLANATORY...THATS THE CALAMARI IN FRONT OF THE SIGN

GETTING READY FOR THE SPAM CARVING CONTEST

DRINKING INSTEAD OF PREPPING!  TAKE NOTE...IN THE BACKGROUND....EVEN THE LITTLE UNS' ARE DRINKING!

READY STEADY GO!!!!  THEY HAD TEN MINUTES (WHICH I FORGOT TO TIME)  THE HARDEST PART WAS GETTING THE DAM SPAM (HAHA I MADE A RHYME) OUT OF THE CAN

SUCH CONCENTRATION!

I CAN SEE SHAPES EMERGING!

THE WINNER!!!  KEVIN CARVED AN OUTHOUSE....COMPLETE WITH MOON

NOT EVEN A CLOSE RUNNER UP....MYLES TRIED TO SELL IT AS A SPAM MONSTER...BUT NO CIGAR

KATHY WAS THE RUNNER UP...SHE CARVED THE GREAT WALL OF CHINA...PRETTY GOOD I MUST SAY!

ARNIE'S WAS FOURTH RUNNER UP....SHE DID A FIREPLACE AND I THINK IT WAS PRETTY GOOD.  SHE USED TOOTHPICKS FOR THE KINDLING!

JO JO AND AINSLEY MADE A LOBSTER...APRIL PHOTO BOMBED THIS PIC WITH HER RABBIT

APRIL WAS THIRD RUNNER UP....FOR ONCE THE RESIDENT ARTIST DIDN'T WIN AND GET THIS...SHE FREAKING ATE THE CRITTER AFTER THE CONTEST WAS OVER....SO LIKE HER DAD

KERRY AND MYLES EXECUTING THE RUDE TURLETT PAPER GAME

STIRLING WATCHED AND WATCHED AND WATCHED US AND THEN WHEN WE WERE DONE HE PICKED UP A PLUNGER, APPROPRIATELY PLACED IT AND PUT A ROLL OF TOILET PAPER ON IT!!!

THEN IT WAS PINATA TIME!!!  I THINK THIS IS AN AMAZING SHOT OF ARNIE WHACKING THAT BEER BOX FULL OF GOODIES!!!!

PICKING UP THE LOOT

"MMMMMM...CAN I TASTE YOUR CANDY RING?"

AWWWWWWWW......SINGIN' TO EACH OTHER

MY BABIES....LITTLE STARS THEY ARE

AWWWWWW....THEIR SINGING ALWAYS BRINGS ME TO TEARS....IN A GOOD WAY.....MOSTLY

THEY WERE SO AWESOME...NO ONE CAN BEAT MYLES THOUGH...HE KNOWS EVERY SONG ON PLANET EARTH

YEAH.....NEED I SAY ANYTHING?

THE BIRTHDAY GIRL MAKING CALAMARI!!

and played board games and had pizza and yet more wings.  I finally retired home at ten at night.  Kevin arrived around 11 with the kids.  Unfortunately Aryn had to leave that morning so she missed the second day but April, Myles and Kevin were able to stay.

It honestly was one of the best parties I have ever attended.  On Monday before April and Myles left, (Kevin and kidlets left early that morning) we headed over to Kathy's and with dogs in tow, went for a walk in Peterson Creek.  It was so beautiful.  Then after a hamburger dinner here at home, they left for Vancouver :(

Today is Friday the 13th.  Its been a lovely week, Kathy and I walked in Peterson creek again.  I am trying to keep my steps up over five thousand.  Yesterday I turned down her invite walk but I managed to get over five thousand steps in anyway.  I was Walmarting, banking and errand running.  And, today I took Wrangler and headed out the door, parked up on top of Kathy's street and walked the Creek myself.  I can't wait to tell her!!!

So, instead of going on here I am going to post some pictures.  Under each pic will be more about the party.  It was such a hoot!!!!  TTYL  I will do a few more trip posts next, along with current events.  I have a fun weekend planned and then I am heading to Penticton for a week.
