PJ's B-day part four:can you believe there is going to be a part 5?

PJ Had his cake:


and then it was back to the garage for the Journey sing-a-long:

"Just a small town girl"


"livin' in a lonely world"


"She took the midnight train goin anywhere"


"Just a city boy, born and raised in south Detroit"


"He took the midnight train goin anywhere"

"A singer in a smokey room
A smell of wine and cheap perfume
For a smile they can share the night
It goes on and on and on and on"



"Strangers waiting, up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searching in the night"


"Streetlight people, living just to find emotion
Hiding, somewhere in the niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight!"


*Dale busts in with his famous broom guitar solo:




"Working hard to get my fill"




"Everybody want's a thrill
Payin anything to roll the dice,
Just one more time
Some will win, some will lose
Some were born to sing the blues
Oh, the movie never ends
It goes on and on and on and on"


"Dont stop believin
Hold on to the feelin
Streetlight people ohhhhhhhh!"

PJ's B-day part 3: Babies

I ended up taking a bunch of pictures of baby Michael. I only have one of Grace...I think:

At least it's a cute one.

Baby Michael crawled up to my camera and began to pose. Look!





I gave him a maraca and home boy took off!



He works well with props.

Baby Grace and I will have to schedule a little photo shoot to make up for the missed pictures.

PJ's B-day part two: Flip Cup

Have ya'll ever played flip cup? It's basically the drinking game equivalent of a relay race.
I'm not sure if it is in the official rule book, but I think you have to bust a few dance moves while listening to The Notorious B.I.G before you begin.

At least that's what our "party-goers" did.

Two teams stand on opposite sides of a table, facing one another. As there are equal players on each side, the players directly facing each other are opponents. In front of each teammate is a Solo cup filled with a standard amount of beer. Generally, the first line inside a Solo cup is used as a marker


At the start of the race, the first member of each team drinks his or her beverage. When finished, the cup is placed face up at the edge of the table, and the player who drank it attempts to flip the cup until it rests face down on the table. If he or she is not successful on the first try, the cup must be reset and re-flipped. Only after the first teammate is done flipping the cup successfully, can the next person proceed. Whichever team finishes drinking and flipping all its cups first is the winner.
Check out the Rudy's cup in mid air! Not sure why the Rudy's cup was in play..




Guess who won this round?


Cheers to the ladies!


Dale decided to step in on the action:


The boys are anxious for a win....


Can they do it?

DRINK THAT BEER!

Boys win!


You end the game like you began it.......dancing to 90's hip hop.

Or maybe he is giving his imaginary friend a hug? You be the judge.

The night has just begun at this point. I have more pictures to show you. Come on back in a day or so.

*Wiki provided the flip cup rules used in this post. Aw, thanks Wiki!

PJ's B-day part one: Before Dark

Our good Buddy, PJ, recently turned thirty years young. On Saturday, Dale and I hosted a party that PJ's wife Kristi planned.


Here are PJ's beautiful wife and daughter, Kristi and Grace.

I swear, they put mascara on that baby!
Maybe she's born with it.....maybe it's Baybylline.

The party was held both inside and outside. They babies (young Michael shows up later on), their mommas, and others enjoyed the inside...away from the debauchery. The others hung out in the garage.




Is that a tray of Jello shots amongst those lovely ladies?

Yes, yes it is.

Kim passes out the goods:



PJ was the subject of many toasts that night, starting with this one:


This picture makes me laugh:


The group decided to get in some hooping before the night arrived:


She wins the "Best hooping pose" award:




Brad decided he just wanted to watch:


Are they dancing?


Sisters:


I told you baby Michael would show up (he brought his fabulous parents with him):


This concludes Part one of our story. I hope to put all of the pictures up on line for the viewing pleasure of the party attendees. Come back soon for part two!
