Brainy Quote of the day

Mother's Day Picnic '07

I got to spend my mothers day with my husband, kids and my Mom and Dad.
We had our traditional picnic fixed by Jimmy :)
Got some surprise gifts from the fam... love the Swoozies "Happy Everything" plate from the girls, the knives Jay bought and picked out himself, and the glass canisters from Riley and Jimmy. Mom got some different gifts too!



Father and son.

Pirate Party

Today is cinco de Mayo, so we had chips and salsa @ the birthday!
The kids started the party with a piñata, that included their pirate hats, necklaces and silver coins. Then off to the treasure hunt, led by Mr Jimmy! They had to find a capsized boat by the pond and a broken guitar both containing clues, finally into the woods~and behind a skeleton was the treasure box full of candy! Aunt Rebecca organized a sword fight, and then a sword slinging contest, while we got the hot dogs and cake ready for the kids.
Riley enjoyed having all his friends over and all the gifts he's received at the party and in the mailbox from family. The day ended with his cousin Emma Grace having a sleepover..... Here are the two of them now:Found the treasure box!
Checking the treasure map in the backyard...

Piñata has been broken and we are all dressed like pirates now... checking our first map to find treasure.
