JUSTIN'S BIRTHDAY SLEEPOVER

All Justin wanted to do for his 11th Birthday is have a sleepover! So, after narrowing down his list to a manageable amount to sleep over it ended up being a great night!! Justin has a great group of friends who have so much fun together and are so well behaved and polite! The night was actually a breeze!! The plan was to have no plan and the boys just created their own fun! I think all the kids had a great time just hanging out!!!

The boys....Okay, these rockets were a huge hit!!! I picked them up last minute and didn't think they would really be that into it...but they loved them!!

Blast off....
Rocket Football...they were getting very creative coming up with different games....
Oh my goodness!! Much to my husbands horror the boys thought it would be funny to put wigs on! These boys are so goofy! They kept us laughing all night! Yeah, this would be my SON......
They boys can't wait to have pit hair!! heehee....

Wolfie....we were so happy Wolfie is feeling better and got to be here!!!! They all had the wigs on whether they will admit it or not! I had to take this one quick before they took them off!!


Video game time....

Flashlight tag....

Good morning sunshines!! Poor Bryan was still sleeping when Joe stepped right on him not realizing he was still in his sleeping bag! Then he stepped on a rusty staple out front and had to go get a tetanus shot...sorry Bryan you had such a rough morning!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY BABY BOY!!

It's so hard to believe my baby is ELEVEN years old today!! My how time has flown!! Before you know it he will be off to Junior High and chasing girls around!! Justin is a great kid, loves school and sports and has a great circle of friends! We are very proud of him!! Hope you have a great day at school today! HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY Birthday! We love you bunches!!

T-BALL HAS BEGUN, FINALLY!!

After a 2 week delay in the season starting due to weather, Jake FINALLY had his first T-Ball game tonight!! The kids all look so cute and grown up in their uniforms!

Jake as Catcher....chatting with the batter of course!
on first base.... And it's outta here.....
Jake & his buddy Taylor(aka Anna Grace's big brother!!)....
He appears to be more interested in the game on the next field.....

OUR EASTER!

After a change of plans due to the weather we headed up to my parents for Easter weekend! My Brother Lance's (aka Uncle Pooh) girlfriend Michele was so kind to have us all over to her place for dinner...which was awesome!! Thanks Michele for having us all so last minute!! She has a great place out in the country!

Lance & Michele....
The boys....They had so much fun playing in the MUD at my parents!!
Goofy Goobers.... Showing off their eggs! The rain stopped just long enough to hunt for eggs on the driveway!! It didn't bother the kids though!

SSHHHH, DON'T TELL UNCLE POOH...

...that Joe got to drive my Dad's Corvette!!! My parents Car Club was doing a Car Show at the Chili Cook Off and my Dad wanted both of his cars there. LUCKY Uncle Rico!

ONLY IN RED BLUFF...

....Can you play HORSE POOP BINGO!!!! Seriously!! This is the craziest thing I've ever seen...I thought my parents were joking!! Pretty simple, you put money down on the number and if the horse POOPS on it you win!! Like I said, only in Red Bluff.....This was at the Chili Cook Off kicking off the festivities leading up to the Red Bluff Round Up Rodeo next weekend! The boys thought this was THE FUNNIEST THING EVER!!! As you can only imagine!!

HAPPY EASTER!

WHAT I LOVE RIGHT NOW

The handheld game 20Q....it's so addicting! All we want to do is stump it! Easy...you think of a word, then it asks you 20 questions and guesses...and it's always right!!! We were even thinking of really bizarre and random things! You can also play online http://www.20q.net/

WHAT I LOVE RIGHT NOW

My husband, the Birthday Boy, for taping the kitchen ceilings so I can paint!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY SISTER RHONDA!!

Happy Birthday to my Baby Sister Rhonda! Her Birthday is actually April 12th but I wanted her to have some time at the top before the "other" birthday the same day! We hope you have an extra special day and are spoiled rotten!! If you were here we would all be at Benihana's!! ~~HAPPY! HAPPY! BIRTHDAY!!~~

WHAT I LOVE RIGHT NOW....

...the song Bad Day by Daniel Powter!! Love it!
It's the song that's played when someone gets booted from Idol...
What do you think of this "feature". Something new & fun I will try and keep up on!

SARAH'S SURPRISE 30th BIRTHDAY

As most of you know, Joe & I went up to Mt. Shasta this past weekend to the Mt. Shasta Resort (everyone should go stay here sometime!!) for (Joe's brother Jason's wife) Sarah's SURPRISE 30th Birthday! It was a great weekend all together! The party was so much fun with many surprises throughout the evening (and day) for Sarah...started with her getting nails and hair done and all dressed up, showing up to the Resort for dinner, being serenaded to the song "Sweet Sarah" with eyes closed not knowing everyone was there, Jason presenting her with a Past, Present, Future 3 dimaond ring, a surprise Cruise to Mexico (which they left for today!) plus many other sweet little things all night!! Jessica (Joe's brother Andy's wife) did a FABULOUS job planning everything!! It was nice to have all of Joe's family together...Dino was out of town working so he could not make it...but everyone else was there. With all of us living so far apart we just don't get to see everyone that often, much less all together at the same time! Caterina & I did enjoy an afternoon at the Spa...I got a pedicure while she got a massage. It was perfect!! I could've stayed there a few more days! Thanks Momo & Papa and Kelly & Brian for watching our kiddos!!

Jason & Sarah.... The Girls! All my sisters-in-law and Mother-in law! Jessica (brother Andy's wife), Shirley (the Mom), Sarah (brother Jason's wife), Me, Caterina (Joe's sister) and Rose (brother Dino's wife)

The boys! Joe, Andy, Jason, Pop & Dave (Caterina's husband) We missed you Dino!! Joe & his parents!
Me & Joe.... (you know I HATE pics, so enjoy!!!!)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SARAH!

Happy Birthday
to my Sister-in-Law Sarah!
Hope your Birthday
is Extra Special!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY UNCLE DINO!!

Happy Birthday Dino!
We hope you have a
ROCKIN" birthday!!!

DRIVING RANGE...

What was going to be a busy Saturday with Opening Ceremonies for Baseball turned into a Lazy Saturday with NO PLANS!!!! Opening Ceremonies & games were cancelled due to this fabulous weather!! Joe decided to take the boys to the driving range for a little golf...he needs to practice before our getaway next weekend!!

Justin finally getting to use his new clubs!!!!
Jacob Riley looking cute as ever!!!


And, only Joshy could get away with bringing COON to the driving range and wearing his Napoleon Dynamite snowboots...I can't wait til summer when I can throw these boots away!! My luck he'll wear them all summer with swim trunks!!
