Okay, so it's been a while, but I needed to post this...In March we had a "Chili Jubilee" event at church and that is where I made my debut! Well, sort of. I sang "All Consuming Fire" by Jennifer Knapp and as you can see accompanied myself on the guitar. That was nerve-wrecking. Let's just say I usually only play guitar for myself. All in all though, it was a decent performance. I'll post this on you-tube at some point.
So this weekend, Lizi and I hosted a Twilight Party for our birthdays. It was the best idea ever!!! We had all kinds of Twilight-inspired food and music and watched Twilight in our new downstairs family room. Some of the items on the menu included Venison (very impressive), Bella's Mushroom Ravioli, Fish Fry, Sangria, Edible Art veggie tray and Vampire cupcakes. We moved our awesome flat screen downstairs for the occasion and Keith even set up our theater, surround-sound speaker system. Everyone who came was a major fan! You could hear a needle drop watching the movie when Edward Cullen entered the scene. It was a blast!
Last Sunday, Alex said his first real word, agua! Yes, my son's first language is Spanish I'm proud to say. It's so funny when he says or does something new and it seems to come out of nowhere. He gets so excited too!!! When he figured out he could say it, he would walk around saying "agua, agua, agua, agua..." It's the best.
Here's Alex, me, Lizi and Lucas. On February 8th, we celebrated Alex's first birthday with tamales and empanadas. The party was a blast and I wasn't the only one who thought so. The company was wonderful and the food was delicious. Alex had his first tamale and first empanada. The theme was Thomas & Friends. There were about 35 guests so we had a packed house. We had a pinata and Barb even did balloon animals for the kids. Alex had a so much fun! My baby is all grown up...
