Cody & Mal Outloud: Cinco De Birthday!

Sunday May 5, also known as Cinco de Mayo, we had a celebration at our place for our friend Ashli's Birthday. Cody and I enjoy seeing our friends, but most of all we love entertaining. We had over what I like to call our couples group, because mostly everyone is paired, we have a few singles but thats ok =). The total head count I believe was 13!

The day started with me getting about 5 hours of sleep because of working the night before, I got up and cleaned and got ready for the party. Brittany Cox ( Cody's cousin, and a close friend of mine) came over with her two kids to visit and pick up Tinsley, our mini Schnauzer. She is going to keep them company in their new house in the country.

When they were ready to leave, my spoiled neice Makenzi was insistent on staying with Cody and I, so we let her for a little while. The minute she got back in the house it was " Mowri I'm hungry, will you cook me eggs?" Even though I loathe eggs for some reason, I made them for her, and she was a great help setting for the party.

Once everyone arrived, the day started off with pool time with Alexi ( Ashli and Weston's daughter). No one else would bare the 50 something degree water. But we had fun!

While the girls were talking and doing girl like things, the boys did cook our fajitas, but they also decided it would be fun to play with guns in the backyard. No worries no one was harmed in this agressive looking hunt! They were using an pellet air rifle or something like that. It kept them occupied for a while anyways.

Shortly after we enjoyed our cinco de mayo theme, with fajitas and margaritas! And an awesome birthday cake, made by Joey! During this time we also had Dulci and Moxie join us!

After Dinner, Hailey and Kyle, another one of the couples finally showed up! They came with nachos and tons of love, we've missed them! The evening ended up with a nice bonfire in our new fire pit that we built, and lots of laughs!
