Kayden's Birthday Party, Day 2

The kids slept over at my mom's house and the next day we went to chuck e cheese. we were there almost all day. They got this awesom new game where you ride a horse! You can see J on there trying to win the race. the whole horse moved and it was crazy. My friend Becky showed up later with her daugthers, Julia and Grace. I had to take a picture of Grace in the monkey hat, it was so cute!

Kayden's Birthday Party

February was our niece, Kayden's birthday. I think she turned 8. Am I a bad Aunt for not being 100% sure how old she is? Anyhow, we had a great time. Kayden and I blew up balloons, one of each color. I made a murder mystery game for the kids to pay with clues all around the house. Then we played a game where the kids ask each other questions and try to guess what picture is on their head. You can see Caleb and Ross with cards on their heads. It was hard for the younger kids. Mom couldn't find normal candles for Kayden, so she had to blow out this glass jar candle, which I thought was hilarious. Later on, my mom hypnotized Hannah, and tricked her into smearing soot on her face. The kids were all captivated by it.

Lucas Gampe Foundation

My cousin, Lucas, is trying to raise enough to purchase the $10,000 bike he needs to continue therapy at home. Early this year he had a problem with his spine that left him paralyzed from the chest down. He desperately wants to walk again. If you are feeling generous, you can make a donation to:

Carvings

Pumpkin Carving!!!

My parents, Aunt Cindy, Uncle Glenn, Dominic, Kayden, Samantha and Travis all came down for the weekend to carve pumpkins. We had a great time visiting, the ferrets got alot of cuddling, and I took the kids walking in the woods. We had so much fun!

The Cruise

The Cruise to Canada wasn't the best vacation we have ever been on. We still had a good time though. Here are a few pictures of the trip.

Happy 28th Birthday to me!

My birthday was on a Tuesday this year, so I celebrated with my parents and Jason while on our cruise with a piece of pie at dinner. On the 28th, my husband took me out to eat at the Japanese steakhouse and me made me cupcakes for dessert. I got a microscope and some binoculars to look at the birds! I also got to see Becca before my birthday and got a beautiful candle holder that she painted, jewelry, and a mini pumpkin growing kit!
