Ordaining Curly
As you all know, Curly turned 18 last week. On Sunday, we sustained him in Stake Conference and then right before the family party, Dog Walker ordained him to the office of Elder in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Then we had a delicious feast. Since my sweetie would have turned 63 the end of this month, I asked all the kids to bring foods that reminded them of their dad. It was so fun to see all of their thoughts. Grandpa even came over to enjoy the food.
After everyone ate, Curly and Sport arranged all the boxes and things they had been saving on the porch so the other kids could go through them and take home some things that reminded them of their dad.
When we finally had all the leftovers put away and everyone had headed to their homes, we sat at the kitchen table to play our nightly game of Monopoly.
Baby Doll worked all weekend making a special one just for Curly... Familyopoly!! Seriously, it is amazing!
Happy Ordination Day, Curly. So proud of you!

Guest Blog: Curly on the Birthday Saddle by the Dog Walker
Mom asked me to blog about our time at Texas Roadhouse for Curly's 18th birthday. I was only able to come during my lunch break on a scheduled day working at Walmart. It was quite busy, considering that it always is on not only weekends but during the summer.
We were able to have sides of rolls to eat. I made my order of food. I wanted to have chicken tenders just to be quick, but the boys "tempted" me into ordering steak, just because it makes them "manly!" Even Mom convinced me to order a steak. And I did, but I was more worried about how I wasn't able to get my meal before I had to go back to work. So Mom asked the waitress to box up the meal for me when they brought it out, just when I had to drive back to Walmart to finish the rest of my shift.
I never got to watch Curly ride the saddle, but I'm sure that he had a time of his life. Happy Birthday, Curly! Enjoy the photos.

Guest Blog: Movie Party with Beauty and The Beast by the Dog Walker
Ever since the family campout, I was showing the family a lot of movie options to pick from for our little movie in the park. The Beast chose Muppets From Space, but when we tried to play it, the DVD player wouldn't read it, so we watched Moana instead.
Since The Beast was a little sad that we didn't get to watch it at the campout, Mom and I were discussing about what can be done. We wanted to have a little movie party with Beauty and The Beast and their boys. We were going to do it here at the house, but then The Beast offered to invite us to their new house that they moved into a month ago. The Beast wanted to show off his new projector room.
So Mom agreed to bring some dinner over, which was sweet pork. She also made her newest homemade refried beans that The Beast surprisingly liked, just because he didn't like canned refried beans. I don't know if Mom ever told you about the Homemade Refried Beans, but maybe some time, she will explain how it's done.
Anyway, after dinner, we watched Muppets From Space, and Mom didn't quite remember watching it with us as kids. Some of the younger kids were really thought it was fun to watch, especially all those funny moments with movie references in them. Curly, in particular, wasn't quite familiar with other Muppet movies, except for the Christmas Carol version, because Mom always watches it every Christmas.
According to Muppets From Space, Mom was even surprised about the Independence Day reference in the movie. If Dad were still alive, and he watched it with us, he would've thought that reference was funny too.
It was a really fun movie party. The Beast thought of doing another Muppet movie soon, with the adaptation of Treasure Island. I think the kids might be looking forward to watching it later on, but I'm not sure about everyone. Then again, we'll just see how it turns out. We might be getting a lot of new Muppet fans in the family.
