The invasion of St. Patrick

 

 So......We tried to trap a Leprechaun but, we failed.  They do like chocolate though.  Our little green guy was a busy guy last night.  He ate a bite of Chocolate and then proceeded to piddle in all our toilets leaving a few footprints behind.  He left us plenty of GREEN treats and a bit of GOLD wrapped candy.  The people in this house weren't the only ones who were invaded.....poor Maddies was tagged green too!

TEE anyone?

I had to sort through just a few t-shirts the other night....250 to be exact!
I had a little idea when we had to change our uniforms at work.  We had to wear very specific colors of undershirts.  I thought we would maybe order 60, boy was I wrong!  It was a big undertaking but, we now all have new shirts and it didn't break the bank!

Gabe just passed his testing to become a BLUE belt!  He has learned so many great things from Tae Kwon Do.  Not only is he tough as nails, but the boy can meditate with the best of them!  We couldn't be more proud of our Tae Kwon Do student.  Great job Gabers!!!

Are YOU scared of Monsters?

The kind that only come out in the dark......

Ones that are BIG and LOUD....


Ones with scary names like "Grave Digger"?

Not at this house we're not! They may be loud but when they get going all you
wanna do is scream at the top of your lungs and perhaps.....cover your ears.

We had a great time at the Monster Truck Show! Gabe was told that we had a big surprise for him. When we picked him and gave him a box of ear plugs as a clue, he knew exactly where we were headed. The Adamson's met us their and we all enjoyed the smashin' and crashin with all the BIG trucks. It was such a great time! Can't wait for the next round up.

The BIG day!

8/31/11
BEST DAY EVER!
We couldn't have asked for things to go more perfectly.
Although, perfection for me was being sealed to my
sweetheart for time and all eternity. All the support from
our family and friends was amazing!
