HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

So my New Years resolution is to actually update my blog. Here we go...


Well we brought in the new year at home with friends. It was a blast. We grilled, had a bonfire, smores, a forest fire, a few minor injuries and lots of laughs. Thanks to everybody that came to hang out! Oh if you're wondering about the forest fire, umm yes it really happend. While Adam and Jonathan were launching massive fire works from the front yard, the base of Adams exploded and then fell sideways launching about 100yds in the woods. At first one of the very observant ladies, Allsion or Sam, mentioned she saw fire. At first we all laughed and then the flames staretd to get bigger. Adam and Russ were the first fire fighters to the scene. Adam stomped flames in sandels and Russ was jumping around in 2ft flames since he was the only one with shoes on. Ronnie held the flash light. Cham yelled "Get some water" Jonathan said "umm how are we gonna get it out there" as he ran by with a shovel. Thankfully our fearless men survived and put out the fire about 30 sec before we called 911. Oh and Joanthan and Keith totally got mamed by the briars. There was also this little incident were someone tried to light a giant sparkler on a propane heater. Yep, doesn't sound like a good idea, it wasn't. Carla did a little log rollin to escape the hissing, flaming heater, but Ronnie saved us. All in all a little dangerous, but lots of fun.
