Birthday Weekend!!

We started off the Birthday Festivities by going out to Breakfast at the Kodiak Grill.
Just a couple of pictures to show how awake we all are.
I love the looks on every ones faces and it make me wonder just what were they talking about.

Here is our little princess in her new favorite color....blue!!

They didn't have peanut butter but the kids soon found out that powder sugar is just as good.
It is good on pancakes and french toast...
Everyone still having fun....
Caleb picking on the birthday girl...
The owner/manager took a family picture for us...we didn't even have to ask he offered!!
I let the kids take a couple of pictures....
Sorry John...but you should see the one I didn't put in ...

I had to get this one of Caleb getting his dad...I did miss the one of Caleb getting Uncle John
Now he is getting mom....
Love Tim's face....and Hollies
Terriebeth and Tabitha can give them a run for their money with these faces...and yes that is Tatem getting her dad in the back ground...
Caleb's pictures...

Outside...I wonder how come Tab was not around for these pictures....




Sunday was a great dinner of Cornish Game Hens, some dutch oven potatoes and homemade rolls...then it was time for presents...
Wait I forgot to give you a hug with the present....
Cool a new book....
You have to close your eyes...
The III and Tatem picked out some fun presents for her.....
Surprise...nerds and Tab...does that sound funny to anyone else....
Time to try the Tab....

It's not to bad....

My turn....
Tabitha had to tell her to swallow...
I'll try it...
Yeah it is not so good...And Caleb said no after watching the other 3...Tab said it is pop, and Caleb said I don't like pop!! Ha,ha,ha! Smart kid...Tatem and The III both had a little bit more.

Yahoo...new bike riding pants to keep me warm in the winter...
My fun stuff...
Wait you have one more present....
It's Ethan!!! Yahoo!!! Oops I lost that picture....
Here is Tim lighting the candles on the cake

The cake....

Wow look at that fire.....

Time to blow out the candles....
I wanted to get a picture of all the smoke but I must have been to slow because you can't see it here.
Picture time with all the little ones....
Didn't get a good one of Caleb one more time....
Taking two picture with the little ones and I didn't even notice The III's cute little fingers over the birthday girls head!! What is up with that!!!
Happy Birthday Tabitha!!!

Let's go fly a kite....

Ok I think I might have posted this before...but what a fun day it was!!! And all it cost was $4~ Here is Caleb trying out his kite...
Wow look how high it got it!! Not bad for a 2 year old...Yes he was 2 at the time. Ok I think it is someone elses or someone else is doing it but I had you fooled for a second right?
Whose kite is it!!! Caleb is the only kid out there.

What a funny kid!! I love it

Cool kite!
Yikes it is going to crash into the house!!
Here is Hollie and Tim trying to wind it in before it does crash into the house...
It is going to be close!
Let's go to the common area...we will have more space!!!
Look at the dad's trying to get them all started!
Ethan flying his kite from a sitting position! Maybe...
Look all 4 kites up in the air and everyone looks cool calm and collective ;o)
All still going well..

A view from the other side...Look at that control.
The parents were the funnest part to watch!

Up high!
Don't you just love the faces....
One looks like it is coming down...
Ok my favorite part was...yes I'm a mean grandma...is when Tatem lost hers and a few of us are chasing it as it is flying away....and she is crying...I'm just sad we didn't get it on camera...but no fear Terriebeth caught it just as it went in the cat tails... Don't you love Tatem's face...and yes it is the best I could get because my batteries went dead. Love ya Tatem!!
Thanks for flying kites with us!! It was tons of fun!!! Can't wait to show you what I got for you at the fair!!! Christmas will be here soon!!! I hope ;o)

Let me tell you about my guy.....

Just wanted to tell everyone about my guy...who is my pride and joy.

He worked hard and got his degree in 3 years instead of 4. All this while still working.

He aced almost all of his classes...he had 2 high B+'s. But has a 4.0 GPA in Accounting.

He did it when he was not the traditional student....meaning he was a little older than most ;o).

And now I'm proud to say he is the new Ada County Accounting Manager and has 36 departments under him! How fun!!

It will be interesting to see if he can handle a 8-5 job!! Ha,ha,ha!! I know he will do fine and love every moment of it!!

I don't know what he is more excited about....having a Monday - Friday job, weekends off and 2 weeks vacation, or having an office with 3 windows!!!

I just want him to know that I'm proud of him...and I'm going to miss not seeing him on my lunches or having dinner ready for me when I get home... Now I will be home first and have to cook!! ha,ha,ha!! French fries and chocolate...Yummmy!!

Way to go Tim....continue to work hard and show them what you got!!!

Love ya tons speckle belly!!
