Someone turned 10 this week!!

Happy Birthday Cody!!

And this was his year to have a bigger party with friends!  He chose to have a video gaming party.  So Easy!! and So Fun!! 

All the boys loved choosing from all games and spending an hour and a half playing against each other.

All the boys

The trailer was 50 feet with 4 big screens inside, 8 gaming chairs, and air-conditioned.

All the boys were super excited to get in there and start playing.

Playing a little Mar*o Brothers

A little soccer action

Emma decided to get in on the action and play with Cody.

Woo Hoo!!  Gotta love gifts!

Miss Sonia helped keep me company. 

Getting ready to make the "very important Birthday Wish" and blow out the candles.

And BLOW!!!!!

I think Emma is enjoying her cupcake.  Mmmm!

Hudson is wishing his big brother a very happy birthday. 

Yeah .... Right!

This post will be titled Yeah  ...  Right.

Back Story~  This summer we started watching the Br*dy Bunch series on DVD.  It's been a lot of fun for me remembering all these episodes.  Good clean fun TV entertainment.

Well, we are finally to the epic- 3 part- very special episodes of - Br*dy's go to Hawaii.

Today we were watching the one where Greg is on the beach watching all the girls walk by and then he spots a girl not too far away from him and he decides to make his move.  He goes over and after a little chit chat he offers to help put suntan lotion on her.  Then...Peter and Bobby show up and some how move in and take over the suntan lotion duty.

While all this is going on Cody is appalled and saying things like "oooo gross".   I'll never do that stuff.

It struck me as funny so I decided to get it in writing.  This is what I got....

To this I say....Yeah Right!  We'll see about that. 

(and you can bet that I'm going to keep the note...should provide some good laughs in the years to come)

So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with THANKFULNESS.

Happy Halloween

This year was an extra special Halloween since Bill's parents were here visiting. 

Last night we did a little pumpking carving.

The kids were all fired up to do their own version of bobbing for apples so they cleaned out a tub, filled it up, and went bobbing.

Yeh....Emma was helping Cody a little here.  Sisterly love.

Success!!

Emma's turn.

Whew...coming up for air.

Yay Emma.  You snagged one.

On Halloween night Bill's parents manned the house and candy bowl while we walked the neighborhood Trick or Treating with the kids.

Here's some pictures from the evening...

Emma was a girl from the 20's.  Cody was Buffalo Bill Cody.

Pretty Cute

Is that a Squirrel on your face? 

These were our pumpkins we carved.

The Candy Stash!

Enjoying the beautiful weather with Dale and Phyllis on the lanai while Cody and Emma were looking through their candy.

Pulling Teeth

As always, there's usually something exciting going on around our house. 

Creativity runs deep in our veins. 

Even when it comes to pulling teeth.
