Michael Phelps & Shrek..an EBHH to remember!

This Friday we had the pleasure of hosting EBHH at our place. In the spirit of the Olympics - here are the stats: 

Team's in attendance: The Cecchin's, Grochol's, and our new neighbors! 
Bottles of wine consumed: 8
Number of empty beer cans and bottles: 19
Number of people who spent the night: 4

We start the evening off innocently enough with the kids playing around and Marco lounging about.
Ryan, Brooke, Reese and Marco all entertaining themselves. I'm pretty sure that I'm going to have to keep an eye on the fire truck's "secret compartment". Brooke is probably storing contraband in there.

Ok, so this probably needs a little explaining. After we put the 3 babies to bed we decided to turn on the Olympics. Of course, it was all about Michael Phelps, how many eggs he eats in a day, how his ankles are weak so he's more dolphin like, how his wing span is ENORMOUS, ya, ya, ya. But what they never comment on is.... how Michael Phelps is a dead ringer for SHREK! Note the ears and nose....
I mean, seriously...you see it right? I give all of the credit to Jeff (who was staring at Shrek for probably a little too long to see this resemblance).
Here Steve proudly displays both Michael Phelps wing span and ENORMOUS feet! (Did I mention we had 8 bottles of wine or 1 per adult)!
Gold, Silver and Bronze.
Ahh..the morning after and Shrek is still wearing his medal.
In the morning Brooke demonstrated her bull-riding capabilities. Luke Perry has nothing on you sister!
Oh!!! I almost forgot. Our neighbor Bonnie brought over this hand-painted cake that she made! This is actually a sample of the wedding cake that she was baking that evening for a wedding in Napa. It was FABULOUS! She does children's cakes too (Brooke's next b-day is already booked).  And to make you even more sick...she's a pilates instructor in the City at 29th & Sanchez. Seriously not fair.
But it can't all be fun and games. After everyone left the next morning (can you say party?), someone had to clean the joint up. Jack and I were tired...so that left only 1 person.
