Jeremy's Birthday

That's right. Jeremy is now 8! When did he grow up, I ask you? He's so big!
Well, this year Jeremy wanted a Bakugan birthday party! His cake was the biggest challenge this year. I've never baked a round ball cake before. It turned out okay, I think. At least Jeremy approved, so that's all that mattered. He and his friends had a bunch of fun decorating pumkins, watching a Bakugan episode, eating pizza, and doing what boys do best!! (chaos and mayhem?)

His cake, designed after one of his favorite Bakugan.

All the pumpkins, after the mayhem!

One of his new favorite toys from his party--Dragonoid Collosus.

He's so excited to start Cub Scouts. He's been waiting for this for years, literally. He's already earned his Bobcat badge that he'll get this week at pack meeting. Way to go Jeremy!!!

HALLOWEEN

We all had so much fun for Halloween this year. We had a super fun Halloween dinner party at my brother's house with spooky food and games for the kids. We went trick-or-treating on main street, then around the neighborhood, ending at Grandma's house before going home. Let me tell you how tired and exhausted I was that night. But, at least the boys had fun and they all looked really cute!!

Here's Pirate Christopher, doing his normal stare down.

Adam was a Dalmation puppy. Here he is with cousin Gwen, the ladybug, at the Halloween party.

Wes was a gruesome zombie, scaring all the younger cousins. Hanging out with the convict Ryan!!!

Jeremy was. . . I don't know what to call it. . . an alien brain thing? He loved it and cached in!

Mommy was a pirate with Christopher. We got some good food in our bellies in between trick-or-treating. I love moments like these where all is happy and fun!

Here we are at my mom's, tired and ready to call it a night. Well, at least I was.
