It Was a "Blue" Horse Day

What's a "blue" horse day you ask? Well, if you're a three year old, awesome little miracle from God, that means you and several of your friends paint your favorite horse blue on your third birthday. Lily Grace was invited to a birthday party in Florence for Karlee Jamieson and they decided it would be a good idea to paint Susie (I think that was the horse's name) blue. I assume someone asked Susie if that'd be ok. It seemed she couldn't care less what color she was, as long as everyone was petting her and loving on her. I sure hope that paint washes off! Lily Grace didn't seem too interested in the blue horse, you know -- seen one blue horse, seen 'em all. But she had a wonderful time at the party. Thanks Drew and Lori for inviting her (and us). Here's some pictures from the party, just so everyone can see what a blue horse looks like.
































Makeup! Makeup! Can We Not Do Something About This? I told her not to touch that button!

If you're a Crimson Tide fan, a "blue" horse day is when your arch enemy hammers your team and the horse they rode in on. And you have the blessed opportunity to enjoy that defeat while some of your new favorite friends and gracious hosts sing "Rocky Top, ol Rocky top, somewhere in Tennessee" (or whatever those ridiculous words are).

But, alas we got the last laugh. It seems the youngest Jamieson has quite the affection for the Crimson Tide - check out the picture. I think she even said Roll Tide a couple of times. We'll be sending that Bama cheerleader outfit right away!



If you see any blue horses today, be sure to ask them if they've been to a birthday party or a football game.

Love,
Jerry, Connie, Austin, and Lily Grace
