Nate's 7th Year on the Planet

For Nathan's birthday, we took the kids to Chuck E Cheese and then bowling. He had a blast!


Does this picture remind you of anyone? I'm thinking Pete and Ms. Pacman at the Chuck E Cheese. We have to have a picture of that somewhere!


The boys get all riled up when they play air hockey. It's best to stay back 10 feet or you may get a plastic puck to the eye.


My little fireman.

The Year Without Christmas

I'm looking through all of my pictures and would you believe I don't have a single one for Christmas 2007? (Stop nodding your heads!)

I must have forgotten my camera or something. LAME! I bet Dad has some. Anyhoo, here's a few from around that time period.

Aunt Sara and her husband came down to visit for Christmas. So cute!

Grandpa Van Detta and the monkey.



Troublemakers!

Halloween 2007

The kids had a blast this Halloween. All of the boys were Jedi and Katie was, of course, a princess. I tried to put green paint on Alex and make him Yoda, but he just wasn't havin' any of that!

The older kids took care of Alex. They all walked to the doors together. Ethan eventually figured out that the candy-hander-outters liked Alex a lot and gave them a lot of candy when Alex went first. So, being the entrepreneur he is, he began taking Alex up to the doors first and making Katie and Nate hold back.

Then when someone answered the door, they didn't even know what hit 'em:

"Here's my baby brother. He's a jedi. He's so cute, huh! Here's his trick-or-treat bag.....and mine!"

And then it started raining candy.

Pirates and Tiggers and Star Wars....Oh My!

We took another trip to Disneyland in October 2007. (Since Mom bought us annual passes, we figured we should use 'em up!) Awesome trip. Saw the California Waldron clan, met Jack Sparrow, saw The Nightmare Before Christmas Haunted House and partied like it was 1999.

Vacation

This blogger thing irritates me when it comes to pictures and putting captions next to them. So, just imagine the cutest little quip under each one and laugh loudly. ;-)

(This post is incomplete. The rest of the pictures are on the other computer. Love me. It will be finished in the morning!)

Cinderella and Son

He was having such a blast!

Ewwww! Sister moochies!
(Actually, right after I snapped the picture he turned and tried to plant a full, slobbery mouth mooch on her!)

The Homewrecker

This is "The Homewrecker". Others call him "The $72 Tomato" and the kids call him "Mr. Stripey", but I call him "The Homewrecker".

Yup. He's trying to sink all six teeth into that bad boy.


"And you will be Daddy's gardening minion. And you will grow little "Homewreckers" of your own. He he he."

The Obsession

All I wanted to do was grow some basil and one tomato plant. Look what I started!

There's a whole other row and massive tent-like structure there now.

Please tell me why...

Will someone please tell me why the Moochie Town Citizens are not respecting their curfew? We're going to have to hire an independent investigation team to look into the reasons for curfew breaking in Moochie Town. Seriously. Something in the summer vacation water...

Ethan's Birthday

Here's a picture of Ethan's birthday. It was great. Everyone came! He talked about it for days afterwards. "Did you see everyone that came to my party, Mom?" Thanks for making his 8th birthday a special one guys. :-)

Ha!

Ok. So much for the weekly basis. Sorry about that. Got really busy with the writing thing. OK. So....here's my adorable brother Steve and Katie bug. Handsome kid, man.

Hey guys!

Ok, so, I'm thinking this blogging thing might work out as a family website. I'm going to try to keep it up on a weekly basis, so make sure you check back in.
