Madness and mayhem

You know trouble when you see it.

Parker's birthday party- they only LOOK harmless.Quiet hours were finally observed
from 1 am to 6:30 a.m.

5th Graders Rock

The first day of school- it's the
last "first day" of his elementary years.

Introducing Max & Sam, Parker's new pets.

They are Sandfish; a species of Skink.
They are pretty darn cute, too!

We brought them home on Saturday,
but today they finally sprang to life!

Due to the graphic cricket-eating
nature of these videos,
viewer discretion is advised.

Janell's 30th (gulp) birthday

Yeah, so I'm finally 30!

There are too many witnesses

to deny it any longer.

All the gifts helped to ease the pain!

Jeremy will use any excuse to spoil me-
this time he did it with sapphires and diamonds.
"He went to Jared!!" is now the
running joke about my birthday.

Sweet/Awesome

Parker celebrated 10 years yesterday!
We had a birthday dinner with
Aaron, Teresa, Katie & Lily.

Back at home, he was ready to
rip into some birthday gifts!

Jeremy's Birthday

I was a little surprised that for his

birthday dinner, Jeremy just wanted pizza.
A thin-crust veggie-lover's with beef.

Nothing says "happy birthday" like banana cream pie!

Birthday Celebray-shuns!!

Last weekend we had a joint birthday
party to celebrate our mutual aging.

Our friends were there to mourn with us.
They didn't seem all that mournful, however.

It's funny how hearing the "Happy Birthday"
song never gets old, even after
it's been sung to you 30 times!
