Happy St. Patrick's Day/Happy Birthday Scott!! (a day late)

"May the road rise to meet you,

may the wind be always at your back;

may the sun shine warm upon your face ,

and the rain fall soft upon your fields.

And untill we meet again may God hold you in the hollow of his hand"

~Irish Blessing~

March 17th is also Scott's Birthday. Yes, I have my very own "ST. Patrick" born on St. Patrick's day!! First, I must give you the story. Scott's birth name is Scott Thomas. His confirmation name is Patrick. So if you take the "S" from Scott and the "T" from Thomas, you have ST Patrick O'Laughlin!! Born on ST. Patrick's day!! Yes, I know cheesy, but his family is VERY proud of it...as any Irish family would be!!

I must also add these pictures....

"Their Pimp Outfits"

Scott's parent's got these suits for the boys for Christmas. However, I promised Linda that I would make sure everyone knew that she had nothing to do with picking these out!! It was all Tom!!

May those who love us, love us

And those who don't love us,

May God turn their hearts

And if He will not turn their hearts,

May He turn their ankles

So we will know them by their limping!

St. Patrick's Party

On Saturday we had our annual St. Patrick's Day Party. My mom and sister offered to watch the kids, so of course, we took them up on it. My mom had Jess and Delaney and my sister had Sean and Owen.

Unfortantly, I did not get many pictures. Scott and I were enjoying ourselves so much we both forgot!! I know we suck...Here is a video, however, that I did manage to get. My best friend of 17 years , Tracy, is a dancer. We try every year to get her to "Riverdance" for us, but she won't do it with many people around. Not really sure why since she has done it in competition more times than I can count. Anyway, here she is...on a cooler...


Ah crap!! sorry about it being sideways...hope you can view ok!! And it is very dark...I will try better next time to get a better shot of her!!lol

It was nasty and rainy out, so the backyard party turned into an indoor and garage party. There were over 100 jello shots consumed, several cases of beer, and tons of food. Again, I got NOT A SINGLE picture of the shots, beer, or food!! We had anywhere from 25-30 friends and neighbors over. I am not even going to try to name everyone in fear that I will leave someone out and hurt their feelings!!

I must admit, however, come Monday morning, I was a bit imbarassed to but our recycle bin out at the street!! Afterall, the bus stop is right in front of our house!!


Thanks to everyone who came and celebrated with us!! We had a great time!!
