The Big Zero Two

Sorry its been so long. Been pretty damn busy lately. I tested for TSgt on Tuesday of this past week. We'll see how it comes out here in a few months. Its nice not having to study now though. Frees up some time... Which was spent preping for Williams 2nd birthday. Which is today. But we celebrated it yesterday, on Liz's birthday. We had a party consisting of some family and a neighbor lol. We thought we were going to be all good and not have to rush trying to get everything setup... And it was going great until the kitchen sink backed up.... A call to maintenance, a super snake into a cut drain pipe later our sink was unclogged and I had a huge mess to clean in the basement. If it hadnt been for that we would have been right on time with the party lol.

It was a hawiian themed party that Liz put alot of work into. Kinda turned our kitchen bar into a tiki bar with a grass skirting of some kind hanging from the ceiling and slightly flared to make it look like a grass roof. Lots of leaves. You know those paper turkeys you can get for thanksgiving that are 3d in that you unfold them and the paper makes the body of turkey? Horrible description I know, but Liz found a palm tree along those lines where its the palms that fold out and hang from the wall.

Liz found a great recipe for hawaiian pulled pork that cooks for 20 hours. As well as made up some chicken teriaki (spelling?). We also had beer (kokanee for me, which is about as un-hawaiian as you can get being as that its from Canada, but we did have some Kona beer which is made from the Kona Coffee Company in Hawaii as well), and pina coladas.

But, the coup de gras was Williams cake. I'll try to get pictures loaded onto flickr here soon for it. Liz spent a few hours making a pig cake with fondant just for William that looked really cute. William however only ate alittle bit of it... mainly the back lol.
