This is her husband Stu.
Stu is in law school right now, and Brent likes talking to someone who understands what he's talking about. And Stu had horses growing up, so he's okay in my book.
Ryan and Jen came over too, and brought their little dog, Rizzo.
Jen is really fun and cute too. But, she is a little different than I am in that she's VERY organized. Funny story- these two came to help us move into our house last year, and to put it mildly, we weren't quite ready. She was great and started throwing stuff into boxes and grouping things together, but if it was her moving, she would have had everything packed, and probably color coded. : ) Anyway, Jen is pregnant with their first baby, and she refuses to tell me the name they've picked out. I still have three months to get it out of her. I would say something nice about Ryan, but won't since he will not add me as a friend on facebook.
And this is our neighbor Kathy. She lives next door, but I dont think I've ever had a conversation with her. Until last night. Even though she didn't know us well, she grabbed her Milwaukee's Best Light and joined the party.
I wasn't sure how to write this post because so many wierd things happened last night. So, i'm just going to list things. And there is a good chance that these things will only be funny to the 6 of us here last night... but I'm still laughing....
- Our dog Bella took a running start out to the deck.... and ran into the screen door.
- A random beagle from the park behind our house ran up the stairs to our deck.... and peed on my foot. I was wearing flip flops. It was gross.
- Brent asked Kathy if she had any old newspapers we could use to help our bonfire along because the wood was a little wet. She said, "heck yes" and brought out about 20 used/non-winning scratch off tickets, a milwaukees best box, and a dictionary. Yes, a dictionary. She said it was old, she couldn't find the words to her crossword puzzle in them, and that she had bought a newer version at a garage sale for 2.00 the weekend before.
- As we were sitting around the fire, we noticed men with flashlights in the park behind our house. After a little while we relized they were cops. And then saw a cop car driving on the path without lights. There was no one at the park, and they didn't seem to find anything... but it was pretty creepy!
- We heard the loudest party ever. It sounded like the cops were busting it or something and that's why we had seen the cops. (I realize my neighborhood sounds a little unsafe, it's really not!) This party was SO loud and sounded like it was just across the park. So us girls went to go find it and see what the commotion was about. NO PARTY. We didn't see people anywhere and couldn't hear a thing. But when we got back to the house, we could hear it again, even louder. Bizzare.
- Kathy asked Brent if he wanted to ride her son's "wheeler" Brent wasn't sure what that was, but said sure! In the shed in the backyard (we live in town!!) there was a brand new 4 wheeler. So all the boys drove it.
All in all it was a really fun night, with many more funny quotes. Good friends and summer nights : )
Life is always better when you have fun people to share it with!
One last picture of Kathy's fire contributions and a few more Kathy quotes:
(Kathy brings over some cardboard to burn)
Brent: What's that from?
Kathy: My new weed whip.
Brent: the one you ordered off the tv?
Kathy: yeah, and let me tell you. It don't do no two football fields. I called about it but they wouldn't talk. I got halfway around the house and had a curb I didn't even know about. Does NOT do no two football fields.
"Take him deep sea fishing!"
And when heading in, she looked at Sadie, went in for a hug, and said, "It was nice to meet you. You'll be pregnant within three months."
