Catching up

I just downloaded the pictures from my camera and realized I hadn't blogged in awhile, so am taking this opportunity to do a little catching up.

James turned 13 last week so we took a ride up to see him with a few goodies.  James is quick to point out that he's a teenager now.  I guess he thinks that's a good thing.  Oh well!

Overcome with cash

His favorite- angle food cake with strawberries.  I really think devil's food would be more appropriate!

Yum!

Go James!

Halloween was another missing blog chapter.  It started when we built a doughnut eating apparatus for a party Aunt Shawna was involved in.  It seemed pointless to build it and not try it out.
Aubry and CJ celebrated by dressing as The Mad Hatter (Aubs) and, for lack of a better description, plunger man (Cayden).  Cayden has this plunger that he likes to play with, no worries, it's never been used for its intended purpose.  It was, in fact, a Christmas gift he asked for last year.  If there's anything CJ is not short on, it's imagination!

It's a bird, it's a plane, no....it's plunger man!

It's harder than it looks, or so I'm told

Aunt Shawna gives it a test

Today we celebrated Bonnie's 29th birthday, for the second or third year in a row.  Her birthday is actually tomorrow, but she's busy with a softball game.  She wanted chicken kabobs, so we BBQ'ed and enjoyed an afternoon clowning around.
Happy Birthday Pook!

Do you think she could eat it in one bite?

Aubrey and G'ma make kabobs

They were yummy!

I think this family's cuteness comes from their grandpa.....what do you think?
