Happy 16 Birthday Ryan!!!

Ryan started out the day with a couple dozen Krispie Kream donuts. After church dad made one of his favorites "poor boys chili". He couldn't wait any longer to open his gifts which he was very happy with. Later tonight we will have German chocolate cake with cookie dough ice cream. And his favorite dish "lemon pepper chicken" for dinner.

Tomorrow we'll head off to the DMV and work on obtaining a drivers licence - watch out everyone! And soon after that he'll probably want to be going out on a date- IKES!!!

Were proud of you Ryan for all you have done so far to reach this milestone birthday.

Happy Birthday Ryan!!!

All through the years!!!

Christmas open House

The past couple of weeks I have been getting ready for my 2ND annual Christmas open house. The big day was this last Friday it was a big success. I coordinated the whole thing which was actually a bigger job than I thought. Last year I had my friend Gillian help with the planning - Missed you Gillian.

We had 11 booths and we did it at the clubhouse. It was a long week but it was a lot of fun and well worth it. I got a lot of new contacts and orders for my business.

Meet The Runnin Rebels!!!

Ryan is so excited that he made his High School basketball team. Here he is at "Meet the Rebels" right when they called his name my camera was all jacked up so I didn't get a good picture of him being introduced. More photos to come I promise!! Go Runnin Rebels!!!

Trick - R - Treat!

Black Spiderman or shall we call him Peter Parker??

Little Marine Boy. Brandon had a hard time getting excited about any of the costumes this year. He searched the Internet for hours and finally just decided to dress in camo's.

Apparently in High School you can wear your costume to school - mask and all. So Ryan sported this around all day at school.

I tryed to paint Brandon's face with camo paint and a Marine hat but he wasn't into it. What a Halloween pooper!

Well I actually had plans for some fun costumes for Randy and I this year but as you can see I ran out of time. Randy is his usually Bronco fan, I just decided to go for the Orange and Black look. Next year were gonna have some awesome costumes.

Here is our last minute attempt to create a pumpkin. So what else would we do but Mickey Mouse.
