Izzy's new belt!

So, Izzy has now graduated again in Tae Kwon Do. She is now a white-red belt. (A white belt with a red stripe in the middle.) She also in the last few weeks has become a member of the Leadership program and is now learning weapons! Yes we gave her a weapon and she is learning to spar with it. They just finished with the short staff, bong-loungi (I know I just spelled that wrong, but at least I spelled it phonetically) anyway, she is now working with a true staff. (A long staff!) She is really good with it too.

But here are some pics from Graduation!!!!!!!!!! First is Izzy bowing in before running through her forms. Her Master is in the back behind her there. (Mrs. Bosstick) THen there is Andy, Nana, Chi-Chi, and Te-chi on the sidelines. (Papa and Uncle Ryan are in the lobby wrestling the boys.)

Frustration!

I can't even begin to tell you how frustrated I am with technology at the moment! My laptop died, and is now in the shop being repaired under warrenty, where they tell us that Acer, the company who makes them will probably just replace it to begin with. AHHHHH! Then the desktop that I am working on now is slowly dying. There in no cure, we just have to replace it soon. It will randomly deciede that it hates me and won't open a program or will kick me off the net. So we are tyring to talk the owner of PC MAX into a layaway program. And now it has decidded that I can't upload my pictures because it does not recgonize my power cord for my camera! So no new pics till I get them developed and get the CD. I want to scream. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Thanks for listening.

Wii

That's right proud ladies and anxious gents I said Wii as in me, mine, omega and alpha and I now own one. I received my birthday gift (finally!!!) (he he he) on the 8th because we spent the whole 5th, 6th, 7th (sniffle) and most of the 8th moving Larry, Ryan and for the heck of it Marie in to there new home, which by the way is a gorgeous house and we will put up pictures as soon as we are allowed to. (its a little messy right now). But the Wii is a beautiful device and I wish to thank the creators at Nintendo for there hard work and dedication to this moment that allowed me to achieve such glory and honored fame. I pledge to use my time in office to better the dull hours of not just myself and those who live with me, but to all American who claim a partnership in this pursuit of happiness. Stick with me and the next four years years will not only be better but with fun work and laughing dedication we will carry on through our elected time and rise to a golden age of family home entertainment. (ie I didn't vote) Come one, come all and we tear down the oppressive hours of boredom from reality TV and sad over run game shows. So as the funny little Japanese guys from the commercial say "Wii want you to play!"

Dimon is 2!!!!!!!

Yes my other baby is no longer a baby. Our little Demon, I mean Dimon is now 2! We had a little family party for him. Although both Grandma's were missing. But we had fun anyway. He blew out his candles one by one with a little bit of assistance, but it was too cute! As you can see he loves Wall-E. So he got a Wall-E cake which he loved the little Wall-E and Eva off of. I think we could have just given him that and he would have been happy. He wouldn't put them down the rest of the night. We also experianced what happens when you have several gifts for one two year old, he likes the first thing he gets and could not care less about any of the rest. The good point is that a few days later he's just as surprised when we hand him a toy he doesn't remember getting. ha ha ha! Still he had a good time and if wall-e was on anything it did earn recognition and interest, but as you can see from the pictures, those cake toppers were the best thing ever. Thanxs to all who came and I hope you enjoy "dance-e-dance time!"

Halloween Party

Here are pics from the November 1st Pirate Party! We all dressed up and some friends of Izzy's came over and we played games and ate pizza and cake. Goodtimes!

The first game we played was catch the gummi worm. We tied gummi worms by fishing line and tied them to the swing set. They had to see who could catch the worm first. Then me and Andy did it, he cheats! (His response.... "Pirate!" Such a dork! Yes he won.

Next game was stick the eye patch on the pirate flag. That was interesting, the little buggers could see through the hankerchief! Little pirates! scallywags the lot of 'em!!!! Here was the result of that.

SOme of the crew didnt' make it to the party, but passed out.
While others ran frantically searched for the treasure!!!!!!!!!!!

All of which is adorable and on video. SO only a small clip of victory will be showcased here.

ENJOY!!!!!!!

Then after the treasure hunt we had to break the treasure box open.

Yo Ho, Yo Ho a pirates life for us!

So I told you we were all going to be pirates for Halloween. (Of course I was a wench, but I was a pirate wench. Needless to say I could have sucked in my stomach and made picture a wee bit more flattering to myself, but hey when your a wench!) Anyway this is before we set out with Nana, Papa, Uncle Ryan, none of whom had the decency to dress up this year! (Some excuse about being in the middle of a move or something lame like that) However Audrey and Israel didn't disappoint, well Audrey didn't, Israel dressed as a dork! Nathan was Batman and Juli was a Giraffe! Cuteness!

Izzy was the first mate, while Andy was Cap't Blackbeard, Xander was the cabin boy, while Dimon was the littlest pirate in training.

But we had fun here is a pic of Audrey and Israel just because she posed for it! and one of Dimon after we hit a few homes.
