Happy Birthday...

PaPa & Pierce!

Saturday, Nanny, Papa, Mom & I all went to dinner at Hibachi to celebrate Papa upcoming birthday. It was a really good time. We went shopping afterwards at Pier 1 & Target. We didn't have the kids that evening...so we had some much needed "adult time".

Papa said he wasnt very good at drinking with chop sticks.

Looks pretty good to me! After dinner & a lil rest I went out with Petra & Joe to the Vandaila Bar & Grille to celebrate Pierce's 21st Birthday!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY PIERCE!

Shots for Everyone...

thanks Joe...but YUCK! bleh!

Joe & Petra

Eww, a tounge...

& Two more ....

Night Night Ya'll.....

Spic n' Span

Nanny discovered that the kids, yes...both of them, actually like doing their chores. As long as you have a camera handy I guess. Jenna was in there saying "chee" "cheee". They had a fun time cleaning the glass on the front door with their G*Ma.

Kanawha State Forrest, Labor Day Weekend!

Ok, so I just realized that I hadn't posted these pictures yet. OOPS!
Sarah came in to visit for Labor Day weekend. As usual, we had a hectic weekend but managed to squeeze a visit to the park in there! We had a blast...besides all of those pesty lil nats! Joshua, Sarah & Tucker had a good ole time playin' in the creek. It was a lil chilly, but Mommy finally kicked her shoes off and walked through the water too.

We didn't get any water pictures...but we got quite a few of us all playing on the playground.

PS. The Merry-Go-Round makes me SICK! Umm.. and swinging does a lil too.
I am starting to draw the conclusion that I do, infact have a weak stomach.

Little Trouble is Brewing!

G.Ma and I found these Halloween jammies for Joshua & Jenna. They were both very excited to wear them and get pictures. Jenna's lil kitties & pumpkins on her pants glow in the dark. She got a major kick out of that. Joshua has always loved his jams!

*Twinkle Toes*

G*Ma & G*Pa are in for the week....which is AWESOME!!! We all cooked out and had a great time with the kids. Their visit motivated me to get my crap done and mantle fixed up a lil (it was a mess). It's now a spooky lil halloween mantle!! :) LOVE my lil witchy poo!!

Dad & Tammy also ended up stopping by for a surprise visit. (which was really nice!!!) Dad took me for a short but NERVE RACKING Harley Ride. Whew...I seriously thought I might vomit off of the side a few times. I have been on a Harley before, but I think I was trying to "act cool" so I don't remember being so scared. Probably was though I guess. I sure do hope I didn't look this stupid back then too.... HAHAHA

*Vroom Vroom*

Tag. YOU'RE IT!

Melody, Justin, & I went to Hibachi the other evening. We decided to go over to the GrandPrix to play a game of laser tag...the girls won, of course! Just FYI...laser tag rocks my world! What a great time! We also took a lil roundy-round on the track too. The whole evening was a lot of fun!

Mel & Manda after the big win!

We spent a wonderful, much needed, relaxing evening with my dad, Tammy & Devon last night. Jenna started out being a lil shy...but perked right up, especially when her bubby got home!!!! Mama, Papa, Devon & Jenna played Noah's Ark & One of Jenna's favorite things...doctor. I ordered pizza and Jenna ate a FULL MAN SIZE SLICE! & fruit. WOW... that girl can really eat!
