Halloween 2008

John was obviously an old lady. I was a Harlem Fat Girl. ROFLMAO!

Here are lots of pictures from the event. Angie was just a pregnant lady (already in costume) and painted her eye black like Doug hit her. Doug was a thug. Cindy and Chris were Batman and Robin. More pictures to come...I'm waiting on Angie to send me some.

Time to make the pretzels!

Joey's preschool class was taking a trip to Germany this month. So, on Thursday, they made pretzels. It looks like it was a lot of fun and Joey couldn't wait until I came to pick him up to tell me he had a cinnamon pretzel. He then explained that the pretzel didn't taste like our dog Cinnamon, but a dessert cinnamon. Uhhhhh, when does this boy lick my dog to find out what she tastes like? No more good night kisses for him...I'll just shake his hand or something. LOL!

Joey's teacher, Miss Maryann, e-mailed this picture to me. It really does look like he had a great time!

Happy Birthday Joey!

Joey turned 5 on Saturday. October 11th. He thanked me for giving him a birthday. Not a party...he didn't really have one...he thanked me for the BIRTH DAY! I had to laugh out loud at that. I gave him a big hug and said I wouldn't have wanted it any other way.

Here is Joey with Frisbee. Frisbee is Ms. Maryann's birthday puppy at school. Ms. Maryann is Joey's teacher. She gives the students a puppy to pick from (she has 2) and a big birthday bag full of birthday books for the child to keep for the weekend of his or her birthday. It's such a great idea! Joey was sooooo surprised and excited to find a Thomas book in the bag. Who woulda thunk it?

Since his birthday fell on a Saturday that we bowl in our league, I got a Thomas cake (4th one in a row now) and we sang happy birthday to him there. We bowl with Angie and Doug and a whole bunch of people from their neighborhood, so Joey was surrounded by his friends. Kelly, Chris, Jessie and A.J. came too and we all bowled a game after our league was over to celebrate. Joey said it was the best birthday party ever. LOL!

Sweet little face

Isn't this the sweetest little face you have ever seen?

Dominic and his God Parents

My best friend Angie and her husband Doug are Dominic's God Parents. I've been best friends with Angie since we were 14. She is more like a sister to me than a friend. I just love her and Doug to death! Angie and Doug have 4 kids and a baby girl on the way!!!

Dominic's baptism

Meijer Indy 300

My sister-in-law Holly gave me and John tickets to the Meijer 300 Indy race. It was our FIRST time EVER going to a race! If you look at the blur in the back ground...you'll see the cars flying by.

John was so excited at this race because Danica Patrick drives Indy...and when we got there...we discovered we were sitting RIGHT IN FRONT of her pit crew. CLOSE as can be too! I never laughed so hard in my life. When she pulled into the pit, John and my cousin Robb both jumped up to their feet and busted out the binoculars! HELLO! She had a helmet on! This dude who looked like he steeped right out of the movie Fast Times At Ridgemont High had a bag from the gift shop with her picture on it. I have NEVER seen anyone look so "lovingly" or "Longingly" at a bag before!!!! ROFLMAO! He made all of us crack up. He was in his last 30's/early 40's and the dude kept staring at the bag and would pick it up during the race and stare at it too. OMG, funny stuff!!!

I had a great time people watching too. What I saw coming out of the men's bathroom was enough for me! ROFL! Some man came walking out with his...Ummm...well...JUNK in his hand trying to stuff it back into his jean shorts. Oh, fun stuff. I turned to my cousin to ask if he saw what I just did...didn't want to think I was the only one and he was rolling laughing. Of course, I turned to watch him and I saw this girl with her husband or boyfriend and she is smiling from ear to ear and watching this guy. She almost tripped over her tongue. All of a sudden, I saw her partner's elbow come across her chest! She got busted!!! It was soo funny!

We had a good time for sure!

Ohhh, I'm getting in trouble!!!
