Tonight we went over to J and J's house to go trick or treating. We had a blast. A and J go sooo much candy. Thanks J and J for having us!

Pumpkin Party 2009

Today we went to the Parker's annual pumpkin party. It was a blast as usual. Gigi came up with some really fun games for the kids to do. Angel wanted to dress as a pirate so we decorated our pumpkin to match. It is such a joy having such great friends to help celebrate the holidays.

K's 5th birthday

Tonight we helped K celebrate her 5th bday. She had a rock-n-roll party so the kids had a great time dressing in their rock-n-roll accessories and singing into the karaoke machine.

Pumpkin Patch

We tried to go to this but it was packed and there was a 4 hour wait so we went by a local pumpkin patch to get another pumpkin. Angel carved on with K on Sunday but wanted another one to make into a pirate.

Happy 16th Birthday Josh

Today my son turned 16! I can't believe it has been 16 years already. Time just flies by. Between his dad, me, his grandma and his uncle, we got him almost everything he needs for his car stereo. I think he liked it all. He and I also went to the movies.

Angel and Kimberly

Kimberly and her mom picked Angel up today to play so I could have some rest time after my procedure. They went to a pumpkin patch and picked out a pumpkin. Then drew a picture of what they wanted and K's mom carved it for them. Angel had a blast. Thanks K and C!

Saturday night

That evening we took Josh and a couple of his friends to eat Japanese for Josh's 16th birthday. Afterwards, we had Cupcakes from Sivadas. YUMMY. Let me tell you, teenage boys can eat!

Angel's first soccer goal and Celina's party

Today Angel scored her first goal in soccer! She was so excited and her team mates were excited for her. I am so glad she loves soccer and is athletic. I never was very athletic and always envied the kids that were.



Afterwards, she went to one of her best friends, Celina's birthday party. They were supposed to swim but it was too cold for that so the kids ran around and play in the playground area.

Dustin's bday party

Boo

Tonight we Boo'd some of our neighbors. We left a small basket of candy and the Boo instruction letter and ghost on several doorsteps. Angel loves doing this. She rings the doorbell and runs!
