It's FIRE SAFETY WEEK! Do you all remember how to STOP...DROP...and ROLL!?! If not, this little fire-girl is here to remind you in her hand-made fireman's jacket and helmet! SO FUN!
They made the jackets at daycare after visiting the fire hall and talking about safety with a REAL Fireman!

She looks like she could take on a blaze!

Savannah got a new winter jacket and loves it so much, she's been wearing it around the house! It's a little sad that we need winter jackets in October this year....ohh well....BRING ON THE SNOW!

She got to pick it out ALL BY HERSELF! Of course it's green...and brown!
Look at that happy little face! Don'tcha wanna just KISS those cheeks!?

In our house, birthday's are very important! Each birthday person gets to pick where we eat for supper and we always try to go out on their actual birthday! This year, Parker picked a fun, new place in Fargo called KOBE'S - it's Japanese Cuisine where you sit "family style" (yes, with people you don't know if your party is less than 12), you sit AROUND the grill, and a Japanese person (in our case, a man) cooks your order RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU! YEAY FUN! Our chef came out singing and banging, twirling his spatula into the air..."everybody dance now"!

He first cooked the Japanese rice (after tossing the raw eggs into his hat!), "dealt" it out (literally!), we got mushroom soup with fun little spoons and cute little dishes for our sauces too! Then, while he was cooking everyone's order, he would toss veggies into your mouth and if you caught it, he squirted "SAKI!!!!!" into your mouth! Makes me giggle just thinkin' about it! For the kids, there was Mt. Dew in the container.

The decor inside was beautiful!! There was this bridge over a pond of Koi fish!
Cute menu

Aiden loved the mushroom soup!

Parker shows off the cute plates, chop stix & his Clifornia roll!

Savannah loves sushi!

The Chefs ARRIVAL! Let the FUN begin!!

Lightin' the onions on fire! Gotta have CRISP onions!

Here is our order...WITH a side of veggies! The plates are HUGE! The kids had chicken and scallops, Chad and I had steak and shrimp. I'm pretty sure the guy across from me was TOTALLY impressed with my camera taking abilities!

Our chef was pretty funny!

SAKI!!

Parker even got a sundae of fried ice cream! That little stinker DID NOT SHARE! hahahahaha!

I asked the waitress to take our picture! Can you see the saki on Chad's shirt!?

Jersey Day for Sweet Pea

Since the TWINS are (were) doing so well, Savannah's daycare decided to have a TWINS day to show their support! Since Sweet Pea didn't have a jersey, her big brother Aiden Lee let her wear his! Aaahhhwwww...isn't that sweet!?

No, the pink headband doesn't match...BUT, it's her little addition that makes her unique!

GO JOE NATHAN!

SWEETIES

These three are such a joy to me...

PARKER TURNS 10!

And to celebrate, he wanted a party at a POOL! I felt so bad for Parker at the beginning because he was so excited for so long about the party, he got a really bad headache! BUT! After some "adult strength" medicine and about a half hour, he was ready to ROCK!

Me and my HANDSOME little Birthday Boy!


At the Radisson hotel, the birthday package came with 12 wristbands for the pool "park". Parker got to invite 9 friends...let's just say I'm RELIEVED he didn't want to have a party at our HOUSE!! 9 wild and crazy boys along with Aiden and Savannah for 3 hours in an enclosed pool area (acousitcs are amazing in there, don'tcha know!) was enough to give ME a headache! Ha, ha, ha... Savannah LOVED the water slide!

Two floating heads...Parker and good friend SK

Savannah and Aiden we SO HAPPY to be there too!!

Chillin' in the hot tub

Parker's bottom as he was doing flips off the end of the water slide! GOOFBALL!

Parker and his buddies CH and RC

1...2...3...JUMP!

Blowin' out the candles on his SAFARI cake! Can't BELIEVE there are 10 of them this year...sniff, sniff!

THE CREW! HAPPY BIRTHDAY PARKER...I LOVE YOU!!

All in all it was a GREAT party, everyone had fun swimming, eating pizza, cake and ice cream and "sneaking" into the sauna - you're supposed to be 12 to go in there and the "pool nazi" as we affectionately called him, was VERY good at telling the boys they "can't do this and can't do that"! Parker is lucky to have such good friends.

My Little Boy is GROWING UP! Here he is posing for you in his NEW Fitzgerald jersey! What a cutie!

I guess football players have to look VERY serious!
Doing the "Heizman"...ummm...I think. I also don't think I spelled Heizman correctly - sorry Mr. Heizman!

Yea! There's a SMILE!

BOO-YAW!

Happy Anniversary to us! Chad and I have been married for 12 years this year! WOW! Here's to Chad and at least 30 more!

I had to work a 12 hour shift on our anniversary...BUMMER! But Chad had THIS waiting for me when I got home, SUSHI! He even laid it all out on ice with a candle and a glass of wine...so sweet! And my three FAVORITE kiddo's in the world were there to share it with us!! They're so cute, I'll forgive them for eating most of my California Rolls!!

Chocolate & Chili

This post is an anniversary post, of sorts. It represents the fact that I've officially had this blogsite for ONE YEAR! My VERY first post was of this same function a year ago...although, you may find that the individuals in the pictures are different!
The kids and I supported our community WYCA by attending this event and goreging ouselves on CHOCOLATE and CHILI! Can YOU think of a better way to spend the afternoon!?!

At the enterance, there was a display of fun things made out of chocolate...here you can see the cheeseburger, fries, chocolate shake and even ketchup!
Aiden with his assortment of chocolate, his chili, and grapes!

Parker with his "booty"!

Here they are at the chocolate fountain! WHAT FUN!

Savannah LOVES the chocolate covered marshmallows! You get to put the chocolate on yourself at the chocolate fountain!

Yes, they even had gummy worms to dip in chocolate!

Mommys special treat!

All in all, it was a fun and educational afternoon. There was live music and a silent auction as well! Parker even won an autographed Chris Coste bat that he actually USED! He's a baseball player on the Philadelphia Phillies who played for our Fargo-Moorhead RedHawks! Parker is pretty proud!
