Anniversary Party

So yesterday was my brother and his wife's 8 year anniversay. They hadnt' really celebrated in quite sometime so my brother decided he would throw his wife a suprise party to celebrate. My brother contacted me for help. I was in charge of decorations and picking up the cake. The party was Saturday and it went great. Rachel was really suprised and we all had a great time. Congrats and Happy Anniversary to Jeremy and Rachel.

Slacker

So I know it has been a while since I posted but after posting my last both I got sick with Strep and was down for two days and then i haven't had a break since. the following weekend theo went hunting so i was home alone with matt and i decided to go to work for a while to make up for the time off. Anways I have been feeling pretty good but yesterday I started feeling sick again. I think this time it is just allergies and sinuses but it still sucks pretty bad. I haven't felt like doing anything which is a realy pain when you have a rowdy three year old running around. Matt, knock on hard wood, hasn't gotten sick and I hope that he doesn't. Anyways I will try to blog some more soon.

Halloween 2008

This year we decided to go trick or treating with my brother and his kids. We don't really live in a subdivision so our neighborhood is not really good for trick or treating. My brother lives about 20 minutes from me but it is on my way home from work and he live around the block from Matt's daycare. Before going trick or treating we decided to take all the kids to the local Halloween carnival Red Oak was hosting. They have games and they have a Halloween Egg Hunt for the little kids.

Matt and Micah sitting in the fire truck. They were so excited. I was a little worried that they might tear something up.

Patiently waiting for the egg hunt to begin.

I was trying to take a picture of matt but he wanted me to take a picture of his bucket instead.

After leaving the carnival we went back to my brother's to go trick or treating for a little while. The little kids rode in strollers and wagons. Which was great for them. No work and all the goodies.

Mickey Mouse Birthday Party

So the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse is Matt's favorite show to watch. He usually only gets to watch cartoons saturdays and Sundays and he loves to watch the Disney channel. I decided this year to do his birthday party in the Mickey Mouse theme. Playhouse disney has a really cool site and you can download all kinds of recipe ideas, invitations and party favors. Most of the decorations for his party I made myself with the help of this website. I also made him a Mickey Mouse shape cake and a Mickey Mouse pinata. We had matt's party at the park in Red Oak. It turned out to be a really pretty day and it was a great turn out. Thank you to everyone who came and thanks for all the wonderful gifts.
