Happy Birthday Andy

The birthday boy's wish was to have a poker party. Kids were left at home and us big kids went to have some fun! Lisa was the hostess with the mostes - using her margarita machine for the first time.








Don't know who the heck invited Goose but clearly he took the chip lead and all of our money!! This was a huge upset because Daddy is usually the big winner. Psssst.....next time don't invite Goose please!

Just Hanging Out

Christmas Holiday 2008

Every holiday season we look forward to the annual neighborhood Christmas party. The kids get a present from Santa and us big kids participate in an alchohol exchange. Daddy always where his cowboy hat, so the kids wanted a turn this time. Too cute!

Nothing like friends, martini's and wine! Thanks girls!

We were all so sick with the stomach flu over the holiday in California that we didn't really get to spend time with our friends and families. Daddy and I were in bed all of Christmas day and the little ones were just recovering, so there weren't a lot of picture opportunities! :(

Holiday Family Photos

I am thankful for the wonderful, healthy, blessed family I have.
Lil' Pickle will be 13 in April! What a handsome young sweet boy he is!

Pie Pie will be 4 in March. My how the time flies. Thank the Lord for such a beautiful, loving little girl (and for giving me a girl finally). I had so much fun curling her hair!

BooBoo just turned 5! This little one has the funniest expressions and personality. He is also too smart for his own good.

GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY!

BooBoo turns 5!

We had such a good time. The kids decorated their bikes and we had a parade. Even baby Hannah made itz! Panda and LJ were here from Cali too! Lil Pickle was such a big help and was his wonderfully silly self. The biggest hit of the party however was the "Make a Bouncy Ball" craft. Should've had more of that one!

Halloween

Halloween was fun this year. The little ones could process the end result of trick-or-treating. Tucker wore a dinosaur costume that was my brother wore when he was 5. Matthew decided to throw a bit of his sense of humor into his costume, and Reese decided to be a Sparky cheerleader. The little ones love ASU.

Mrs. Alysa had a carving/painting party a couple of days before Halloween and Mrs. Kim hosted the Halloween neighborhood party. After all the kids finished trick-or-treating they all sat down in a circle to start bartering. It was hilarious!

Ladies English Tea

Thank you Debbie for a wonderful day! The food was amazingly delicious, the company amazing, and a hostess with the mostest. Oh yeah.......the mimosas weren't bad either. It was so nice to get together with friends to relax and enjoy the day, with an English twist. Thank you Mama for the scrumptious cakes and participating in the silly photo!
Cheers!
