MEDS fiesta

Saturday, May 12 2007

This weekend marked the first annual MEDS fiesta hosted by the one and only Dr. Porter. MEDS stands for Mobile Equine Diagnostic Services and is one of the rotations offered to junior and senior students interested in equine veterinary medicine. Dr. Porter is the doc in charge of the service so we (I mean he) invited us to his beautiful house to celebrate with all of the graduating seniors who have enjoyed 2 weeks on the rotation!

From left to right: Harvey, Erin, Candy, Kitty Milton, Sam, Becky, Tom, Katie, Joe, Barry, and Karl (I was the photographer)

It was a pot-luck dinner with the main dish, ropa vieja, a traditional Columbian meal prepared by Dr. Porter. Sam, of course, provided the musical entertainment. She updated her iPod and it rocked! We danced all night long...it got crazy, the usual when we all get together and make fruity girl drinks!

Girls on the dance floor...let's get it started

More dance moves...

Tom, Dr. Porter, and Amy

Since the majority of our class is married, we all brought our men (and women, since there were 2 guys who came). This included Joe, Tom's oldest brother, flew into G-vegas on Thursday. We didn't have to twist his arm to join in the festivities.

Cheers!

A baby shower for Kelly Kirk

Sunday, May 6, 2007

In honor of Michaela Raegan Kirk, Elijiah (left), Marcia (right) and I threw Kelly a baby shower in order to get her ready for their new addition.

We had the shower at Elijiah's house and it was just a perfect afternoon with great girl friends. Kelly is a radiant mom-to-be and is due on August 27th (my god daugher, Mia's, birthday). Her mom and Marcia's mom helped us with the food and organization. I made a yummy cookie cake and some classic peanut butter rice crispies (thanks Mom T) and funfetti cake. Kelly received lots of cute and very innovative gifts. She and her husband Craig will be well prepared!

We also played one of my favorites...the poopy diaper game! Can you guess the candy bar? It's always entertaining watching people investigate the diapers.

Jodi is in deep concentration over this poop!

I think Julie wants to eat it!

Kelly doesn't look like she's ready for the real deal
