Michael's birthday

Michael's birthday has usually been a pretty mellow affair.Normally every year he wants to take a walk on the wetlands and go have pizza.It's always a fun day,but this year he decided with a little nudging on my part to do a laser tag party.

Everybody in our houses birthday starts off with balloons and donuts for breakfast.

                We started with pizza at Round Table.

Then we headed over to Ocean 5 for laser tag and games.Everyone had so much fun playing skeeball,Pac man,air hockey and laser tag.

Then it was home for cake,ice cream and presents,fox themed of course.

Everyone had a great time and Michael had a wonderful birthday.
                  HAPPY BIRTHDAY,MICHAEL!

Daniel's birthday

For his birthday this year Daniel did his annual paintball party.Nothing says fun like getting nailed with paint balls and inflicting pain on others.

We always start birthdays with getting the birthday boy or girl donuts and balloons.We have done this for years and it's become a tradition.

We had quite a lot of people come this year, that makes it all the more fun.I was a bit concerned about the weather as it was pouring off and on all day.Daniel told me that the mud would make it even more fun,guys go figure,but once it got to be playing time the clouds lifted and the sun came out and it was beautiful the rest of the time.

 Everyone had to listen to the safety rules before playing.
Masks on at all times for sure 1 shot to head or chest out,2 shots to arms or legs before you're out.

              Here is the group ready to play!

                    
              Yes that is Ariel playing crazy girl.

  It was nice for my nephews to come out.

After numerous rounds it was time for pizza and cake. Okay not the best looking cake around,but Costco had a limited selection,lol!

So lately Daniel has this thing with loving all things pineapple.I'm guessing it may be from all the Psych episodes he's watched over the years.In every episode there is a pineapple somewhere,which is why he got some cool pineapple shirts.

 Daniel also got some On the bench gear.So you pretty much have to know hockey to know who the On the bench guys are.They are a crack up.

 So when you hear words and phrases like "Mid cheese" "Greasing biscuits" "Fundies" "Wrist snapper" "Greasy snapper" "Top corns" "wristy" "tendy" and other interesting sayings you'll know where this is from:
Watch the videos to get educated. 😉



Then it was the dreaded mercy ball.For those who don't know paintball mercy ball is where there is no limit to the amount of times you get shot you just have to yell mercy when you can no longer stand the pain.What fun eh?

In the end there was blood there was sweat there were tears and a whole lot of welts on everyone,but regardless I think everyone had a great time.
                           Happy Birthday Daniel!

Independence Day 2018

We always enjoy celebrating the Fourth of July.We are a very patriotic family proud of our country and of those men and women who have served.

I always like to change my decor for the seasons that's always a lot of fun.Even clothing.

We always start the Fourth with Daniel selling fireworks for The Key Peninsula Veterans.They have been such a wonderful supportive group and Daniel has been their top salesman for many years.

              Our day started of watching a Jaws marathon.

After that we went to Galaxy theaters and watch Jurassic World at The Imax.

 After the movie then it was home for barbecue ribs,corn,beans,cornbread and all the fixings.

Once darkness came we spent over an hour watching a wonderful fireworks show.

                               It was a wonderful day.
