Tyler's Party, Emily's Program & Christmas Pictures

There is a nursery by my house that has a great showroom. Every year they have a Poinsettia festival before Thanksgiving. So I took the kids for pictures. We got a few good ones (Kevin was not cooperative.) These I liked.


Emily's school program was on American Heritage. She was a slave girl (we are so proud).



Tyler's birthday party was so easy, we should do this every year. He invited four friends and they played wii for an hour and a half and then watched "Journey to the Center of the Earth." We had pizza, snacks and cookies. With his birthday money he bought a ipod touch (real fun).

Tyler's 12th Birthday & A New Picture of Cami

Tyler is now 12. I can't believe it. We took him to Tucanos (Brazillian Grill) for dinner. It's a fun place, like a buffet but they bring different kinds of meat to your table. Yes, they sing to the Birthday Boy, as you can see.



Tyler is having a party with four of his friends at our house. They are going to play video games. I'll let you know if I survive.
Here is a new picture of Cami. (Rusty's baby) She is so cute.

Halloween Night

The kids got dress up and went Trick or Treating. Emily is a hippie, Kevin is a doctor and Tyler is a nerd. Kevin only did a few houses then was handing out candy with me.

I'm starting a new tradition, to have a funky dinner before Trick or Treating. Last year I got halloween plates, cups and bowls half off the day after halloween. The dinner could have been more spooky, but I ran out of time. I've got ideas for next year.


We carved pumpkins the night before. Emily did a peace sign to go with her costume and Tyler did a traditional Jack O' Lantern.
