lows:
...vance's alarm pick up went off at 6 am this morning waking up our kids...and the whole neighborhood. sorry about that.
...gage has yet another ear infection.
...we just had a can of static guard explode in our house.   i tell ya what, that stuff smells!
...to get tickets to go monster trucks, it would cost $275 as a family, two three boys in our family would have loved it.

happy birthday dad!

last wednesday was my dad's 60th birthday.  my mom was throwing a surprise birthday party for him and us sisters figured what better surprise than us all being there.  so, since it was in the middle of the week i (dana had quick travels too!) left denver wednesday afternoon & was back home by 6:45am thursday morning.   yeah, 12 hours at home, it was such a tease.   it was wonderful.   i'm going to quote joe darago's status on facebook the day after his party.   "There are moments in life that are so special you wish you could relive them. Last night was one of those for Christie and I! May God grant you many more bdays JN and thanks Gwen for thinking of us."    it really was one of those evenings that it just feels right, i only slept one hour but i'd gladly do it all over again.   so thankful that we were all able to be there.   happy birthday daddy-o!

a few pictures from the party...
surprise!!!





 mom had some pictures out, i'm on the farthest right.   look like any of our kids?
 baby weston!!!  the sweetest guy.   i missed any pictures of penny but renee i will NEVER forget her with the poncho or her rolling around partying that night.
with grandpa!


doyle wasn't able to make it so he sent dad a video...
