The photo above is looking toward the neighbor's backyard. We had a lot of limbs down! We have a pile of limbs in the front yard that is taller than I am. It's sad to see the trees in such bad shape. My Hubby climbed the oak tree in our front yard with a chainsaw to trim it up. Thankfully, I didn't witness his adventure, it definitely would have freaked me out. We will have to hire a professional to trim up the tree tops.
Our newest baby cousin came to visit!
Fun and games!
O, the peaceful sleep of a turkey induced coma!
This boy is CRAZY about cars and the color blue! I asked our boy if he would like a white or chocolate cake. He insisted on having a blueberry race car cake. I added blueberries to the white cake mix, it took me awhile to come up with a cake design. Our boy thought the best part was getting to keep the cars! It's fun to be 4!!!
Our 6 year old was sooooo excited to loose her 1st tooth on her brother's birthday!

Our neighbors invited us over to their place to roast hot dogs & marshmallows. Turns out the fire was soooo hot that we couldn't even get close enough to cook our hot dogs. So they improvised & got out a shovel and scooped up some of the hot coals & carried them to a spot about 10 feet from the fire & we roasted our food over the coals.

The theme for our town festival this year was "The Circus Comes to Town." The kids dressed accordingly to walk our dog, Max, through the parade. There were about 30 contestants, our kids & dog won 10th Place!!! Some entries included 2 goats, 1 cat, 1 python, 1 duck, and a litter of puppies in a wagon. Our dog Max really wanted a piece of the duck and tried to take a nibble on the goat!

Meeting with the florist, Carlos, in the Flower District. There are blocks of warehouses like this full of flowers of every kind imaginable. It was amazing!
120 Cyclists rode through our hometown.
We enjoyed the race & the candy thrown out by the team cars! 
The cyclists were sprinting when they came in and they zoomed by.
Really Flexible! This one might be a gymnast. 
What do you think? Boy or Girl?
It's more fun to wear t-shirt stickers, than to put on an actual t-shirt. I took the picture from the waist up, apparently sticker boy gets his super powers by running around in the nude. The lower part of his body looked the same as the top, just bare skin & colorful stickers. Oh, to be 3 again..... Time to teach him another lesson on modesty! He keeps saying, "naked---I like to be naked!" Pre-School starts in a week, I hope this phase has run it's course by then!!!
