The Young, the Stressed, and the Restless!

So this past week we very busy with work and with preparations of Damon and Tara's wedding reception! It was fun, yet quite stressful. I was in charge of decor of tables, walls and favors. I thought it was very FUN!! Brad and I made 200 cocoa favors, but it could not have been completed without Nick and Sarah (thank you ladies sooooo much)!!! They were cute little bags of cocoa, topped with mallows and cocconut, per the bride's request. I was so happy to see how they turned out and that they loved them all. The reception was beautiful and quite romantic amongst all the stress. Here are a few pics of those who can handle it all....




Thanks so much to all that help!!! Love you all!

Sizzling in the South!!!

This last weekend was filled with calming relaxation, which is not too typical if you throw all of Sharee's family into one spot...after all, there is like 100 of them! But, Damon, one of Sharee's younger brothers got married to such an adorable girl named Tara in Texas! We had the best hospitality...truly a taste of Southern food, friends, and fun!

Because it was in Texas, only Sharee's immediate siblings flew down, it was the first and only time all of their family has slept in one roof! They spent night after night staying up until the wee hours in the morning laughing and talking. It was great to see Sharee and everyone in her family mingle without so many distractions...aka 40 grandkids! Brad was the only spouse who went, but he was never an outsider. He enjoyed shuffle board, 4-wheeling, and being the entertainer as the designating videographer. The commentary is hillarious and the interviews are entaining and uncomfortable. If anyone knows Brad...they will know he can get any info out of anyone! He is a conversational wizard!!

Everyone but Brad and Sharee left on Sunday. We got to stay and enjoy the sunny weather, shopping, and food! We spent 1 day shopping at the San Marcos outlets. It is the ranked as the 3rd best shopping in the WORLD! Imagine miles and miles of stores, in every brand, at low prices. It was so much fun chasing around Sharee and helping her pick out or try on clothes.

The next day we spent seeing sights such as the Alamo, the Riverwalk, some missions, and elaborate southern homes. We also got to go to a Wakeboard park called the Texas Ski Ranch. It is wakeboarding while being pulled by a cable system around in circles and you can jump on and off ramps, kickers, a-frames, etc. It was AWESOME!

We wish we could show you pictures of all these adventures...but our camera got stolen =(! I hope you all have had a great week! ....Thanks so much to our family, it was so much fun! We love you!!!

Happy Halloween!!!

The Hosts....a lioness and her handsome tamer!

The 4th Annual Moss' Halloween Bash was another success! The night started out with guests trickling in! We had.....


Minne Mouse aka Dave Crump (He won the Scarriest!!!)
The Burley Mountain Man..

The Swine Flu Duo!!! (They won most Original!)

The Roller Derbie Combo...

The Hospital Hoodlems..(a nun, the travelocity knom, sponge bob, 70-disco Dottie, Richard Simons, and a pin-up pilot..she won the sexiest!!!)

The Rockin Muppets!


And...OCTO-MOM!!!

We had goodies with chocolate, carmel, chips, salsa, punch all with a bloody twist to make stomachs turn. After mingling...a sudden mysterious murder occurred! Someone had killed Sharee! We then handed out envelopes with each guests name on them to describe the murder, the suspects, possible motives, and weapons. The guests then needed to mingle to find the out-right culprit! There was a knife, golf-club, or poison as the possible weapons, and embolished motives ranging from jealous, dislike, or adultery. Ultimately...it came down to Nick Nickish aka 70s Disco Dottie who was the murderer! It was because she was a jealous mom, who child loves Sharee best and so she decided to poison her drink at the welcoming toast! She played a great improptu character and we hope all had fun!!! We missed those who couldn't make it this year! Please be sure to put it on the calender the next year...the 5th year should be FANTASTIC!
