birthday boy

a Happy birthday weekend to Ryan at the art's fest... listening to great local music and spectating the crowds... his 2 favorite past times.  It was a good time. 

happy cumpleanos, mi amor.

summer poker

We FINALLY got everyone together again for our poker night.  It happened to be Ryan's birthday weekend, so we had a dual purpose to congretate.  Cards first and foremost, birthday boy second...  (that is coming from his most loyal friends)

shawn, shane, angie

for everyone to enjoy, but not ryan.  he hates cake.

bennie, sharon, brock, danny

me and greggors... my favorite crush

and AW ang... took the cake.   way to go!!

Ryan took 2nd... which isn't too bad for a 46 yr old.



we're still here...

at an outdoor festival a few weeks ago, called pride

with our ob friends we ran into

tara and i found the dance floor and we had fun... great dj

we finally got ryan to "smile" instead of making a goofy face

and also:

 a couple weekends ago we had a backyard party

i was so very happy that carolyn and chris came!

the dentons

jace doin' what jace does best ;)

jared and melissa were in town for a visit

tara, derrik, melis, jared

michael, cory, stacy, paula, stacia

we rented a bouncy house, in which i highly recommend for every backyard party... the more adults inside, the better.  tara has all the good photos of this activity, but i was pretty excited to snap this one of ryan in motion.

boko, who belongs to stacy and cory, showed up.

he was the bouncy house dominator,

and

a pro-wrestler... taking on the bailey's both at the same time.

my only comment: he has really sharp fingernails that are weapons, and i still have 2 large bruises on my leg

i L-O-V-E summertime!!
