Saturday was Sadie's graduation party. She is the most gorgeous girl--so much prettier than any damn Kardasian or that girl who played Bella on that dumb vampire show.

But more than physical beauty--she has a wonderful, loving spirit. She loves animals, especially dogs and horses.

I wish her all the best now that she is an adult.

:)

In the background is Tammy's long-time friend Kay who did the catering for the party as a gift.

I don't know who made the cake, but it was lovely. I never got a piece of it, but I guess it was delicious. It was a red velvet cake.

My sister is going to send a piece home for me with my brother and his wife who stayed overnight last night.

Autumn has grown into a beautiful young woman. She seems so happy and content in being a mom.

Her children are Zepplin (Zippy or Zep), Luna (Lulu), and Lillex (Lil). Zep was a little crabby as they were getting ready to go home and he didn't really want to pose for a picture.

I am amazed at how much Lil looks like her momma.

There were a bunch of toy lizards in my sisters bathroom (no idea why), and Zep had just been "forced" to go and "try" to potty since they had a three-hour car trip ahead of them.

After taking the "crabby" picture, i asked him if those lizards had tried to bite his toes when he was in there, and he immediately became animated and started telling me how he got two of them. The little girls were both grinning at him as he was just chattering away about those lizards and holding them out for me to see how he had captured them.

They were such cute kids.

This is the first time I have seen the two little ones.

I gave Lil a felt Barbie hotdog in a bun and a felt Barbie pancake with blueberry syrup. She was thrilled.

I don't know any of these kids, but they were enjoying Ron's company. Remember Ron the rat? Ron is aging, poor old guy, but he is still delighted by attention and very friendly.

They were sweet kids and we had a good chat about the dragon bouncy castle that Bert and Tammy had rented for the kids to jump around in and about the rat.

Mom, Lily, Kim, and Coconut going through the buffet line.

Kay had served a taco buffet--you could choose ground beef or chicken tacos with hard or soft shells. She had a variety of fixin's to go with the tacos--some really amazing guacamole, for example. Yum. There was also fresh fruit--strawberries, pineapple, cantaloupe, and honey dew. And there were four pans of bars. I baked the seven layers of heaven bars, grandma's oatmeal bars, and my dad's favorite cherry bars. Mom made pumpkin bars.

They had bottled water, beer, wine, and a variety of pop for beverages. I had a glass of chablis, which was quite good.

Everything was delicous.

The minute we got in the house, I sat down in a chair and Coconut jumped into my lap. Oreo is more stand-offish, but he is extremely jealous of Coconut and what Coconut is having, Oreo wants too, so he tried to jump in my lap as well. He fell over trying twice because Coconut fills up my lap. LOL.

So, then he went over and lay on the footstool by my mom, and she petted him, making him very happy.

He's part papillion and part something else. I think he is colored like an Australian Shepherd, but he's tiny.

This is my dad's sister and my mom's brother. They met at my parents' wedding and got married less than two years later. They offered us a ride up to Tammy's house since Jack and Kari were going to stay over night.
