At the request of my wife (and with everone else getting makeovers), I shaved the power ‘stache and parted my hair back to its natural part on the side. Woah! Who IS that guy? It’s like when you saw Tom Selleck without his moustache, you’re like, “Where’s Magnum?”!
Weird Al’s parody of Taylor Hicks’ “Do I Make You Proud”!
Phillip got his hair cut!
While jumping on the trampolene, Ian got stung by a bee.
Here, Ian shows us where he got stung. He had put his hand down on the bee, and it did what bees do.
Keighly had a report due on “Seeds”. She created this nice and informative display of seeds she collected from around the yard and from relatives.
Janet had gotten down our Halloween stuff to get ready for the festivities. The kids decided to try on last year’s costumes. Here, Emily wears Ian’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle costume he got for Christmas.
Ian reunites with his Spidey costume!
Keighly was a ghost..
Emily was the all-too-familiar pumpkin (her nickname).
Ian gives us a rare look at Spidey-in-a-pumpkin-costume..!
Back in September we had a work day at my parents house. Here Chandler and Keighly give Ian, Emily, and Moma Flo a ride on the four-wheeler as I look on. Yes, those are my work clothes.
After Keighly’s birthday party, Moma Flo presented my Dad with a giftbag. It turned out to be a magnet that he had lost as a child.
My grandmother told of how he would drag it around on a string and was amazed at how it would attract things. He had thought someone had taken it, but it was recently unearthed by some surveyors.
Keighly turned 8 this year! At her party at Nanny and Papas, Chandler gave her a birthday ‘pickle’ card!
Some of her gifts were a Littlest Pet Shop playset (she loves the Littlest Pet Shop).
A large plush cow from Aunt Lori and Uncle Joe.
The bow from the gifts makes a nice hair accessory!
Later, we had a party for her classmates at Laser Mania. This was her frog cake.
The main attraction at Laser Manis is laser tag! Here Keighly and Michael defend their position.
Keighly maneuvers the obstacles!
Fun!
Everyone has a blast!
High energy fun for all!
Keighly blows out the candles on her cake.
She gets lots of great gifts from her classmates.
Meredith doesn’t let a bow go to waste!
Lora Lee tries it out as well.
Everyone gets some cake and drink.
Fooseball!
Leah tries Keighly’s frog puppet while Meredith enjoys the cake.
After another rousing game of laser tag, the gift bags were passed out. The main prize in each was a whoopi cushion! Micah inflates his quickly.
Michael shows us the proper way to use the whoopi cushion!
The last gift was a plush skunk puppet. She loved it!
Shortly after getting a plush skunk for her birthday, Keighly made a washing machine box into a tempting proposal. It says “Get me or all (I’ll) stink! One female skunk for sale. 45¢” !
The Incredibealls!
