Happy Thanksgiving, With Love...

The three of us will be heading over to Kettle Falls this Thanksgiving to celebrate with my family. My mom and dad have worked very hard the last year or so to rebuild the new house they bought. This will be their first Thanksgiving in their new home with the newly remodeled kitchen. We can’t wait!!!

We have so much to be Thankful for this year. We have great health as do our loved ones. We have happiness through our true friends and family. And most importantly, we have each other.

We would like to take this time

to wish you all a very Happy Thanksgiving

Jumbo Peanut Butter and Jelly

Yesterday was a co-worker’s birthday, so I brought in a cake that I had made.

It may just look like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich….

But this is no ordinary PB&J.

This sucker is 8” x 8”

It was a great hit and fun to make.

Boys will be Boys...

The other day we watched the Seahawks game at Dan’s dad’s house while he was out of town.

Dan thought it would be a good idea to pull out the Potato gun. For those of you who don’t know what a potato gun is, here is the closest picture I could find.

You spray a flammable aerosol into the large chamber. Flip the little switch which makes a spark, causing the potato (that you have shoved into the small chamber) to shoot out of the tube and through the air. Unfortunately this did not go over so smoothly for Dan. For some reason the spark wouldn’t ignite. Dan decided to take the cap off that was holding in all of the aerosol pressure. He then tried to get it to spark again.. This time, IT WORKED. Because the lid was not on to contain the pressure, flames were coming out of the large chamber. Dan blew into the tube to try to blow the fire out. Well… this actually caused the flames to shoot OUT of the tube and into his face… Take a look: (if you want to get the full affects, you can click on the picture to make it larger)

Halloween ~ 2008

Alyssa was at her dad’s this year for Halloween, so I wasn’t able to get any pictures of her dressed up as dead Hannah Montana. (I was not thrilled with the costume idea). Her 3rd grade class had all agreed to dress up in a country/western theme. So I was able to get a picture of her dressed up for her school party.

We also had a pot-luck at work. Stephanie, Laneysa and I dressed up as Snap, Crackle & Pop. We made Rice Krispie treats and delivered them around the office. We each got a gas gift card for the best group.

Here are a couple of other costumes from co-workers:

For Halloween night, Dan and I went to Dion & Candy’s. Dan and I passed out treats while Dion & Candy took the girls Trick-Or-Treating. Delaney didn’t like her costume too much, so I wasn’t able to get a picture of her. But here is Princess Rylie…

And we can’t forget Dan as Bo Bice… (hehehe)
That is, IF You can even tell the difference.
