Zach is a quarter of a century old!!!

The love of my life has turned 25! We had so much fun on his birthday. Surprising him with birthday doughnuts in the morning and that night we went to the Mootz's for a birthday dinner of crawfish pie and yummy cake! Kharli and her husband Joel came down from Wisconsin and were there for dinner. We had lots of fun.

Zach got to hand out lotto tickets to everyone there. It was a part of the Mootz's gift.

Dan and mom showing off their lotto tickets.

Yummy appetizers: Wine and chocolate covered strawberries.

The table setting is completely different for every Wednesday dinner. Everyone is utterly gorgeous!!

The Okuharas!

This was a present from my mom beer and a movie giftcard with snacks to bring into the movie. But Mom put the gift card in the beer case which had a big whole in it and it fell out somewhere... The next day she found it in her car. Yay!

Kharli and her mommy!

The Tylers

We had about 20 pictures similar to this one. They told Zach it was his job to cut the cake. He took this responsibility very seriously measuring out exact proportions.

20 pictures later.... the first piece!!!

After cake Zach got bored and started decorating...We felt PRETTY

I love you Zach and I hope you had a wonderful birthday.

New Hair.

This is my new layered hair. JJ cut it and it's super curly now. Thanks JJ! AND... my new shirt from my mother-in-law that says "i love my dog"

CRUSH a wine lounge

Zach and I went to walk around the Woodlands waterway and we stopped at this really nice wine bar that is up on the top of a building. It was really good we had a crab cake and a bottle of Reisling. Here are some pictures of our evening.

Annie's Birthday

This is my niece Annie. She's Greg's lab. She's four years old today and she is the sweetest dog ever. She is always patient when Tara wants to play with her. So i just wanted to say:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANNIE!

My New Aunt's B-day Dinner

The birthday girl, Aunt Vicki is on the right and my Mother in law, Cecilia is on the left.



Delicious cake that no words can describe

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CECILIA!!!!

All the dogs together again (except Jason's dog brick)

Everyone chatting after dinner and cake.

So Tara is a big tattle tale. Raider and Annie were play fighting in the front of the house and Tara starts barking at them and then goes tell Zach. It's so cute!

Moutain Biking at Double Lake

Getting all our bikes ready took a while but luckily we had pros with bike patch kits.


Rachel is all ready for the trip

Ryan is getting his bag hooked onto his huge bike. It was so tall. Especially when compared to kerstins and rachels.

This is me all geared up for the trail. I want to thank John for letting me borrow his sunglasses they were very useful with all the sun and wind.

Almost ready...

Kerstin excited to get started

Off to a good start...almost getting lost on the first turn :)

Smiles from everyone

Still smiles

It was alot of fun. I would love to do this again with my family. There are picnic areas by a lake right by the trail where Nana's could watch babies while the parents biked. *hint hint*

Halloween

Jessica and Eric decorated everything

That skull would flash lights and make noise when you clapped your hands in front of it.

I loved these little ghosts

Their walls are always Orange...all year long. It comes in handy during their Halloween parties.

The food is very interesting and she had so much!!!

I got to stick the almond teeth in the apples :)

Emily was GoldieLocks and the three teddy bears.

I was Super Floss

There is "The Mom" fussing at "Thing 2" for messing up the house
