THE BIRTHDAY HAMSTER

Braeden has been begging for a hamster for his birthday for a few months now so finally I gave in. We took him to the Pet store and let him pick it out all by himself. The cashier at the store told us that the one we picked out was sooo nice and sooo mellow, so we were really excited to take it home and play with it. WHAT A NIGHTMARE! I think that our hamster has ADHD and it is really mean! The other day the kids wanted to get it out to hold it so I went to grab it softly and it BIT ME! HARD! It broke through the skin and I bled all day. A few hours later Braeden was petting it and I walked in the room and it started to spit it's own poop at me, after it ran out of poop ammo it started to spit its food at me. It doesn't do that to the kids, just me. So I've come to the conclusion that the birthday hamster named Brown Sugar hates me. I know that Braeden will love and take care of it. Happy Birthday Braeden, you have grown up into such a handsome boy!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRAEDEN

I can't believe that my baby boy has turned six years old. Braeden has grown up so fast and has been so much joy in our lives. We had a great but small birthday party for him at our house on Sunday. We invited Bill and Michelle's family over for dinner and cake and ice cream. Breaden was so excited about his present that Hazon and Cayden gave him, a Webkin. He named it frogger. He also got a few spider man toys and most of all a Hamster. "mom's not happy" We Love You Braeden!

6 YEARS OLD!

TRIP TO ENTERPRISE

During our visit to Enterprise we went to St.George to visit my Grandma Jones. She has been in a rest home for 5 years now. We stopped at Pizza Factory to pick up her favorite kind of pizza "canadian bacon and pineapple" and all ate lunch together. Then we all played Rook, her favorite card game. Of course grandma won, and giggled about it the whole time. She loves it when we all come to visit. She loves to see the kids and share stories about uncle Dutch coming to visit.

TRIP TO ENTERPRISE

This past week Ryan picked up 40 hours of overtime, so I packed up the kids and we headed to Enterprise for the week. We had a great time with the family playing cards and Settlers of Catan until 3:00a.m. The kids had a great time playing with their cousins and having sleepovers. Oh, I forgot to mention that Braeden called 911 at my moms house and the cops showed up to make sure that everything was okay. It scared him to death. The cop was really nice about it, he just talked to Braeden about calling 911 when it is an emergency. I bet he will never do that again.

MURDER MYSTERY PARTY

Last night we went to a murder mystery at the Who Hung Wu palace (Bill and Michelle's house). There were a lot of great costumes and bad accents. We made new friends with General Shang and Joyous Flower (Breck and Rob). We also dined with Hao De Doo and Willow Blossom (Dan and Camille). The party was hosted by Jade Flower and Pen Ta Gon (Michelle and Bill). Of course the life of the party was Silver Bell and Hoo Li Gan (Me and Ryan). I especially liked Dan and Bill's sweet facial hair. It was a total blast with great food and even better company.
