Walk the Plank into Liam's Pirate Room

She started out by drawing the picture out with pencil but man did she spend some time on

each and every one of them. (a little anal if you ask me, just kidding :)

Just a quick note about Nana Lynda's birthday present to Liam. She came one week and spent a few days painting and spending some QT with us in April. We loved having her but Liam especially loved how she transformed his room from poky to PIRATE ARGGGGHHHH!!

Just a few pictures to show you Lynda is not only beautiful she is talented too. We had so much fun watching and she even included a little mouse and hole. It was hard to get him to stop acting like a pirate, he even threatened to slit her throat but she somehow convinced him he would be better off to keep her around.

The girls were so impressed with her work they can't wait to have her do something in their rooms. Oops I guess she messed up there, creating more work for herself.

Great Job and it was just a wonderful present that he loves dearly. For weeks he has brought everyone to his room to show it off.

Alert the news Little Baby Julia has just turned 7

Bottom Left to RighJulia's Seventh Sleepover Birthday Par-tay!!!!!!

Whew! It was a lot of fun for the girls who were here. We started out with a Dance Party while we waited on all the girls to get here. While doing that all the girls got to showcase their special talent on the dance floor and Man can they Move!

Then we moved on to making our made to order Pizza, while that was baking we had time to play outside on the trampoline and swing set. While pigging out on Cheetos and Pretzels. After eating the girls were excited to see Julia open her gifts, She loved them all and played with some of them right away, she is still enjoying them. The next portion of the evening was designated to Karaoke (Miah's mom and dad brought over their machine) it ended up being and interview with all the girls and Miah was the host of the show.

A little after, heck maybe even during we had a silly face contest, just who could make the silliest face......well you be the judge. Who do you think?

Then we had a pin the kiss on Zack Effron the girls went CRAZY!!! They loved it. After all the laughing and silliness died down we put out all the sleeping bags all over the floor, popped pop corn, and put in a fun girly movie. Within the first hour there were two girls sleeping. I guess by 11:30 they were all sleeping sound.

The next morning we woke and made a big breakfast, painted our nails, and finished up our little goodies for the girls before they left ( we made pictures to go of all of them and their silly face and put in a key chain picture frame, and a canvas bag with their initials on them with some goodies to eat after they left.

I was happy with the way it turned out and all the girls got along so great that I would do it again.

Off to the Beach agian we GO!!!!!

We have been going to the beach at the ending and beginning of each month and let me tell you it has been fun!!!! The kids are perfect at the beach (makes moving there seem even more inviting, not that it's happening, just a thought) This time it was a very last minute decision, I had called my girlfriend Wendy to thank her for a wonderful morning the day before and she said "hey we are going to the beach and would love for your whole family to join us" Well I didn't even have to think about it I said we will be there. Poor little Rossie couldn't get away from his work and had to stay behind, I felt sorry for him for a minute but then started packing up the car. The kids and I left and were at the beach about four hours later. A good trip both coming and going I might add. We had so much fun frolicking on the beach with friends and the sleepover time for them was a wonderful treat as well. We went to breakfast at a place included in the photo show it was quite tasty but really don't understand how there is a place with that name. Oh well it is the South. It was a wonderful trip and I thank the Terry's for including us in on their fun. They are such nice friends, if you do not know them Dad is Carlton, Mom is Wendy, Son is Charles and Daughter Erika.
