The birthday girl!

The birthday girl blowing out the candle on her cheesecake!

As always when us work folk go out it was a ton of fun with a load of laughs and lots of great food!!

Craft time!

On Wednesday I had a day off of work so Tarin and I got together for some craft time!

This is angle one of the table!

And angle two of the table! Look how organized we are!

We got so busy talking and laughing that I forgot to take pictures while we were working on things but here is what we did! Tarin and her Valentine's Day cards!

And I made invitations for a baby shower. And no they are not for Tarin or me!

Ducky's new look!

We interrupt this regular blog post for an important announcement!!!

Kassi has posted pictures of new CUPCAKES on her cupcake blog!

All must go and look and oooh and ahhhh!

Thank you and now we return you to your regular schedule blog post!

Konner has a new look to to show everyone!

The before...........

And the after!!! Isn't he all cute and GQ looking in his new glasses! He doesn't have to wear them all the time but just to see things far away or at the movies!

Sunday game night with Konner!

On Sunday night Konner and I had a Sunday night game extravaganza!

We played Jenga, Clue, Life, and Go Fish!

First we played Jenga! Which I knew I was going to loose when I pulled a stabilizing block out first!

Next was Clue!

Konner loved this game so much that we played it five times! Him winning twice and me winning three times!

The little punk was even so lucky on one of the games that he guess who did it, where, and with what on the first guess!

Next we moved on to Life! The game went by really quick and we did something I have never heard of before, we tied with exactly the same about of money!

Now we were both even with each of us winning three games and tying one. So we went to the sudden death round and played Go Fish! I don't know how he does it but every time we play Go Fish Konner trashes me, and this time was no exception! So overall Konner won the game night but it was still a ton of fun!

Cacaw!!!

The other day at work I went to lunch and my friend RaeAnn watched the desk for me while I was gone. When I came back this is what I found!

The word Cacaw taped everywhere! This is the signal for me and RaeAnn which started when we went and saw New Moon and I was so slap happy that when they started the movie 20 minutes late I started saying "Cacaw! Start the movie!" We had a good laugh about it and I totally had to share it!

Grooming!

Saturday while we went out painting we decided on Nathan's lunch break we would go to the Panda in the same shopping center for lunch. While we were waiting in line I look at Tarin to see she had paint in her hair. What kind of best friend would I be if I didn't help her get it out!

Nathan said we look like monkeys grooming each other!

But I'm happy to report that I wasn't at all tempted to eat the paint that I got out of her hair and I was able to get it all out in no time at all, not that their was that much in there. But this just proves that it is never a dull moment when Tarin and I are together!

Pottery painting time!

Yesterday Tarin, Jessica, and I went to As You Wish, where Tarin's husband Nathan works to do some painting!

Tarin working on her sunset vase!

Jessica working on her cute flower mug!

And me working on my polka dot mug!

Awww the cute couple! Nathan showing Tarin how to do the cool sunset effect!

The sisters helping each other out!

And everyone happy and painting!

It was a very fun day and time flew by while we were there. Jessica was able to make her very cute and detailed mug, Tarin made a Lunt snowman and her sunset vase, and I made my polka dot mug, a dragonfly plate, and a picture frame! I can't wait until everything is fired so I can see how they turned out!!

Buffalo Wild Wings!

Buffalo Wild Wings!!

And we ordered all theses wings! I was got a 12 piece and JJ got a 50 piece!!

Aunt Cheryll update

If you all follow my blog you should remember in August of 2008 I posted about my dear Great Aunt Cheryll who suffered a brain aneurysm. It was very bad and she had a eight or nine hour surgery the night it happened. She was in the hospital for a while and then in a rehab home after that. For a while she didn't know anyone, where she was, or even simple everyday life things. Then she started to get better, to remember more, to recognize people and places. She didn't understand what was going on and once she got better she was able to leave the rehab facility on the weekends and stay at her home with her family. And when she had to go back she hated it and would get upset, she knew where she needed and wanted to be! She is now in a group home but is visited everyday for hours at a time. She may not be able to remember what happened or how to play zine check anymore. She may not say "Oh hell sister!" to family and then laugh as we all laugh at her response. But she is home and here with us at that is all that matters!

I borrowed two of these pictures from Peggy's Facebook so I hope she will forgive me but they were just so precious that I had to blog about them!

There she is in the middle with some of her rather large family!

This is her and her husband Uncle Hal! This was taken a few years ago at one of the Hunt reunions!

And this is them now! Uncle Hal has been the picture of a perfect husband since this all happened! He never once thought of leaving her or not supporting and helping her through all of this. He was determined to have the love of his life back with him and he got that! The first time I saw this picture I cried! That is true and everlasting love at it's finest!

Peter Piper Pizza

Since the kids had no school yesterday I got to hang out with them! Konner and I were able to hang out and go to the mall and Peter Piper Pizza! Karli had a mountain of homework so she wasn't able to go with us.

First we had pizza which Konner was crazy about!

And I thought it was so good!

Next we were on to the most important thing at Peter Piper, the tokens and games!

Konner being goofy with his!

Yeah baby that is 70 coins a piece!

And what do you get when you spend all your tokens?? Tickets of course!

I was having a very horrible off day when it came to the game playing so Konner ended up getting more tickets then me but I will forgive him this once! We have decided to combine them, come back soon and save up to get the Star Trek Monopoly for 5,000 tickets!


We had a ton of fun like we always do there and hopefully we can go back soon!

Sleeping Ducky!

What is just as fun as tormenting your brother?

Taking pictures while he is asleep!

I think their is some drool there!


The boy can fall asleep anywhere!
