Smash Cake Picture

Here are pictures of Owen eating at his party and enjoying his "smash" cake. He attacked it with true Cusenbary gusto. Wiped off the nasty icing (it was good!), threw it on the floor (covered in plastic!) and ate the cake with both hands. What a good time.


Owen and his Daddy eating chips and queso. It's GOOD to have lots of teeth.

Owen and his Mama. Both are clean Pre-cake.

Owen and the green icing. He ate nearly half of this cake before Rachel took it away and then he wanted more. My Daddy would be so proud!

Love you all,

Candy

Sad, sad news....

We have just learned that Buster's oldest son, Brad, has a brain tumor. We're all still in shock, to say the least. Over the last few months he has had some episodes of numbness in his right arm, and uncontrol of his right pinky finger, which eventually led him to seek medical attention. After several doctor's appt's, and an MRI was done, he found out the news on Jan. 6 that there was a mass the size of a walnut on the left side of the brain.

He has done a lot of research on the internet, and eventually got an appt with a neuro doctor in Denver. He wants to seek a second opinion there in Denver, and possibly a third in Phoenix.

Brad is 38 and lives in Steamboat Springs, CO. He and Laura were married in July of 2007. They have stayed amazingly strong through this ordeal, but no one knows at this point what lies ahead for them.

Please keep him in your prayers!

Love to you all,
Cathy

Pics from "Weezer" (aka Vickie Brisco)

Hi, y'all! I have been asked by our cousin Vickie Brisco, who shall forevermore be called "Weezer" (Have you seen Steel Magnolias? If not, watch it). She sent me some clippings and asked that I add them to the blog, and will send more later. I hope they show up ok. They're all pretty old - some older than others, but they are neat to see.

I hope this finds all of you doing well in the new year. We had a great Christmas and a fun week at our little house in Graham. We'll be there again this weekend, still taking more "stuff".

Hopefully we will see you soon. By the way, has Candy decided when to have the reunion at her house? We need to get a date set so we can all start making plans!

Anyway, bye for now, and love to all!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JAN. 11 to OWEN DANIEL

Owen Daniel will be one year old Sunday, Jan 11. I hope I get to see that precious boy before he is 2 (is that a hint or what!!) I'm sure Dan and Sue asked Aunt Margaret to make her Angel Food cake for him and Granddaddy is cranking the ice cream freezer. God bless us all. Love, Jody

LIST FOR BULA!!!!!

Hey out there, would someone please send Bula a list of the birthdays. Got a email today and she wanted to know who's b/day was the 6th. Bill or Candy ---- could you fix her one? That would be super and I know she would appreciate it. I'm not smart enough!!! Candy, I can't believe that Owen will be a year old this month. Wow, does time fly when you get older!!!! LOL While on the subject -- Celeste, we need photos of the new babies in your family. Haven't heard from Wade -- Are you out there, sweet boy?? Deb, I love the pics of Croft but you need to put them on this blog. Vickie, Suzy said you had some pics to put on. Great!! Now, do it!! LOL Diane, I hear you have a new 'puter and have had a class on it. OK!!! Now, get with it. Oh my, what fun it is to be the ELDER - I just give orders all over the place (and noone pays any attention) and it's so much fun!!! Love you all, Jody

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ON JAN. 6 TO BOYD!!!!!!!

I guess you are our NEW YEAR BABY!!!!! Have a super day. Love, Jody

Happy New Year!

What did you guys do to celebrate the New Year? Who stayed up the latest? Who went to bed first? I would have been in bed by 9:30, but we were playing chickenfoot and it's rude to go to bed just because you are losing.
We had our black-eyed peas with cornbread today. Lots of luck for us...I hope.
Love,
Candy
