Taco blowout & Jewel, what a weekend!

I wrote this a week ago now just about so there's your time frame:

Had a wonderful weekend this past weekend!  Huge taco party at Kate’s parents with the whole family there!  Mama Mueller and the girls put together about 80 taco’s for us, I ate 8 and they were delicious!  Canaan thought his smelled like a fart, he really missed out!  We also celebrated three birthdays with awesome cake for AJ, Kate, & Emma! 



After the party I went with Kate’s dad to play poker with a bunch of other guys and Justin.  I lost $7 but had a great time! 



Sunday Kate and I went to the Merrill Auditorium for a concert.  It was Kate’s first time there, beautiful venue!  We saw Jewel, who we both love and have never seen in person, and her opening act was the fantastic Holly Williams, daughter of the legendary Hank Williams Jr.   Both performed solo acoustic sets and they were both fantastic!  In total the show was 2.5 hours, and that included the intermission.  We bought the live show recording, we can download it in a few days.



Recently Canaan to raised money for the American Heart Association through a school fundraiser called Jump for the Heart where you raise money and participate in jump roping.  Canaan raised with the help of us, $100.  Apparently it was the most money ever raised by a single student in the 10 years the school has been doing the event and at an Assembly a couple weeks after the even he was given a Special Recognition Award by the Principal!  

Found some new Skittles at J&S Oil in Farmingdale.  I love Skittles but I don’t eat them very often any more but I had to try them!  Dark Side of the Rainbow and the rainbow is upside down on the packaging….clever!  The flavors are Dark Berry, Pomegranate, Forbidden Fruit, Midnight Lime, & Blood Orange.   I like the Forbidden Fruit the best but they are all flavorful.  The Midnight Lime has a zingy after taste to it!


I love Skittles, my all time favorite was the very limited edition Carnival flavors of Bubble Gum, Candy Apple, Liquorice, Cotton Candy, & Green Slushy.   I wish they would bring those back!

The wedding plans are coming along nicely and we will be mailing out the save the dates later this week!
 


Later Readers!
