Halloween Parties at School

Camden made cupcakes.

Cooper made a "ghost stick".

Mom and Dad visited class to help out.

Halloween is just 2 days away!

Stay tuned for some really scary and creepy stuff.

Camden's Poem for Dad

'Course By Camden Bryan
Dad I love you from head to toe
Dad I love you did you know?
Giving a hug every day
I will get you a horse that wil say "Nay"!
'Course you can hug me all you want
Out of a building I will trot!

Weekend at the Great Wolf Lodge

We celebrated Camden's 8th birthday by taking the family and Camden's friend Maleah to The Great Wolf Lodge. We first stopped at Cabela's to look at the stuffed animals.







We had lunch and said goodbye to the animals and hello to the long lines of the 90% occupied Great Wolf Lodge.


Cooper wasn't much for the water park but he loved the arcade.
He won some glow in the dark vampire fangs and did a little dance.
Check out his moves!
John Travolta would be jealous!





On Sunday night we carved pumpkins.
And I guess Camden did some face painting.

Camden is 8 years old today!

Princess Poot is 8 years old! We've always loved Camden even before she was born. She cried like a donkey that night "Eeee-Waaah!" Alison and I just looked and looked and looked at this tiny cute baby miracle all snuggled up in a hospital blanket. She had little monkey feet and would sometimes make piggy noises.
Now she's a second grader. An older sister. a great student and a funny little girl who can write stories ( like The Mystery of Mr Man) on the computer.
Tonight we celebrate at The Spaghetti Factory with Lansing and Alessio and then we'll go to The Great Wolf Lodge this weekend with Camden's friend Maleah.

School Pictures

School Pictures 2010. No toothy smiles for these guys. Dad appreciates the product placement in Cooper's shot. Coop's shirt says KING.

Whidbey Island Weekend

Camden loved the hot tub best.
Cooper loved the mountain of plastic trucks.

Whidbey Island weekend (2)

Alison and my romantic weekend got some company Saturday when we invited Kerrie to bring the kids to the house.

We fed Camden and Cooper in Langley and then just relaxed, played, went kayaking and watched TV.

The ferry is only a 20 minute ride between Clinton and Mukilteo.

It was Cooper's first ferry ride ever.

Both kids said "Whidbey" is their favorite island ever
