Happy Halloween!

Jonah and his cousin Caice recorded this "Zombie Survival Guide" video a few years ago. I never posted it because it's just a little slow pace. If you get a chance, you have to check out the comments on You Tube - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DPAHvFYjQpA. People really take this zombie stuff seriously. We've had to delete a few of the comments due to profanity. Geez! They're just kids!

300th Post!!!

Leaves!

What fun!

Alright kids, now pick 'em up.

Good job!

First Field Trip!

I've always tried to and loved to chaperone Jonah's school field trips. Even as he's gotten older it seems to mean a lot to him. So I was pretty bummed to realize that I wouldn't be able to chaperone Caroline's very first field trip because I had clinicals for nursing school the same day. Well, I figured that Daddy would just have to step up to the plate and that it would be a good bonding experience for them. So D volunteered and passed the criminal background check in order to do so. Caroline's teacher was actually happy to have a Dad volunteer. I guess that doesn't happen often. She assigned D two girls to his group to transport and chaperone... Caroline and her buddy Emma C. (There are 3 Emma's in her class.) I don't know if all the volunteer parents had only two in their groups or if the teacher gave a "dad" lighter duty.

Safely at the destination!

There's D! What is that expression?!

Caroline's K-4 class.

Hayride!

Havin' a ball!

Caroline had a wonderful time and very much enjoyed having her Daddy there. David had a good time too and said that he would volunteer to chaperone a field trip again. (He was actually quite nervous before hand.) And he was quite taken with Emma C. who turned out to be quite a cutie. I'm very proud of D and his new found chaperoning talent. Good job Daddy!

Happy 6!

Yes it's been six years since our wedded day of bliss. Happy anniversary to us! It's very difficult for us to schedule a date with a babysitter and our amazingly hectic schedule. We had been wanting to see the Bodies exhibit so finally managed to schedule a time, with a sitter, that happened to fall on our anniversary. Yay! The exhibit people made us pose for this picture, which D was not very happy about. Trying to mooch more money, he believed. I'm sure, yet we still enjoyed the exhibit. And had a very nice anniversary date. Love ya honey!

Happy Belated Birthday!

Yes big D had a birthday. His forty-first! So we had just a little fiesta for him.



I made a brownie cake. I have an all new respect for cake decorators. It's not easy writing with icing. Of course my handwriting stinks anyway. Well it tasted good!

Then we had lots o' games. Like a pinata...

...and then a little Pin the Nose on the Daddy. Thank you Vanna, uh Caroline!

The blindfold freaked Kate out so we didn't make her wear one. She won.

All in all everyone had a good time and David had another good birthday.
