For REAL Farewell to Vana & Joe

Vana and Joe aren't actually moving until the end of this week, so there was still time for another farewell party! This time, we gathered at Kayla and Derrick's for burritos. I think that is a fitting farewell. Moss and Vana dishing up!



Kayla, Cheryl and Ben with their burritos!



I was in charge of margaritas. Frosty!

Family time!






Dad got to meet Zoey!

Happy Birthday, Dad!

Tonight we got together at Mom and Dad's to celebrate Dad's birthday! We started things off with Dennis's famous chipotle dip. MMM, SPICY!



And then we had Casa takeout. Look at that beautiful burrito!



Birthday blowers!



Kate was playing a game where she would try to knock over that tiny plastic horse using her blower.









Got him!



After dinner, things started to get nerdy in the dining room. Dad and Dennis were Face Timing from opposite ends of the table!



Of course Ben got in on it, too!



Mom joined the nerd party from all the way in the kitchen!



Then Kate reminded us that there were very important things to focus on, like party hats.



And CAAAAAAAAAAAAKE!



Putting the candles on the cake is very serious business, and Kate was in charge.



She picked out some super cool star candles and chose where they should go! She did a great job.



Lighting the candles is also VERY serious business. Kate supervised.



So did Petey!



Yay! Cake time!



Kate helped Grandpa blow out his candles.



They nailed it!



Mmm, chocolate with peanut buttercream frosting. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DAD!!

Happy Birthday, Vana!

Vana and Joe had the whole family over tonight for a birthday potluck! They had an ENORMOUS bottle of champagne that we popped.



Moss made deviled eggs and hummus.



After the champagne was gone, we made a round of buttery nipples! So delicious.



And after THOSE, we had mimosas with some champagne that Moss brought! So many delicious drinks!



Time for the main course! Vana and Joe made enchiladas, and Ben and I brought sweet potato black bean burritos.



Mmm.



Plus pasta salad from Kayla, and a big old salad from Dennis.



After dinner, the ladies did some chatting in the kitchen.



And the dudes did some chilling on the sofa.



Nala did some sleeping on the chair.



Then it was time for presents!



For dessert, Cheryl made fudge pies with cream cheese icing. They were totally naughty and awesome.


Happy birthday, Vana!

Athens County Fair

Tonight I headed to the Athens County Fair in the rain with a bunch of Millers! Of course we went on Derby night. This year was especially exciting, because we had heard that Terry Hicks was going to be there! And sure enough, he was. It was one hell of a night at the ACF!

For Science

Tonight, Ben, Vana and I made burritos. After dinner, we decided we were in the mood for some SCIENCE! So we did some science experiments.

Experiment #1

For the first experiment, we decided to try and blow up a balloon using baking soda and vinegar.

The first thing a scientist will do is research their equations and hypothesis. Ben and Vana used The Internet to find the right ratios of the different components of the experiment.







The vinegar goes into the bottle.



The baking soda goes into the balloon.



You put the two together, and...



Success! Look at that balloon! Scientists!



Experiment #2

For the second experiment, we lit a piece of paper on fire, and stuffed it into a glass. Then we overturned the glass into a bowlful of water. The fire in the glass creates a CHEMICAL REACTION and the water all gets sucked right up into the glass! SCIENCE!





Experiment #3



This wasn't so much of an experiment as it was a RACE! I was going to be hosting a party the following night, and I needed to blow up 30 balloons. So we decided to have a RACE! We divided the balloons up into equal piles, and on our marks, got set, WENT!

Ben blew up one balloon for us to use as a size indicator. We had to try and make our balloons approximately that size.









Ben was the Winner!



Look at all those balloons!



Experiment #4

Since we had each just blown up a small pile of balloons as fast as we possibly could, we decided to drink a beer really fast to see if we felt more drunk than usual. The answer was YES!:
