Marmu's 8th

Marmu turned 8 this year.   She got some treats and we sang to her.  Here's to many more, Marmu!

Abby made her a peanut butter doggie cupcake with peanut butter frosting, topping with a homemade pumpkin-peanut butter doggie treat.

Mmmmm.

All them peanut butter is messing with my mouth!

Ha ha, Roscoe's got sticky mouth too. ^_^

Entering Decade #4

I usually don't celebrate my birthdays (except go hiking), but since it was my big 4-0, David said we should do something.  There had been one thing I'd been wanting to do but hadn't been able to get the family on board so I took advantage of my special day and asked to get one of those sepia toned ol' time photos taken.  Surprisingly they were hard to find, but I found one in Big Bear.  We added kayaking into the mix since we'd already be in Big Bear.



Woke up to Monkey Bread Emi made for me.

Only two kayaks were available so Abby and I got a canoe.

Walked around downtown till our photo time.

They look cute, but at the time it was hilarious to see each other in these clothes, we couldn't stop laughing.

Found an arcade, Emi and I played some pool.

Dinner at a pub which had a foosball table.  Sage and Abby vs. Daddy.  Abby just scored.

Came home to some cream puffs Abby made for me.

Good day, good birthday.

Abby's 11th

Not enough fingers, eh? 

Abby wanted to make her own cake. 

Angel food cake with strawberries, and whipped cream cream cheese frosting.

Abby wanted a sleepover with her friends, Sidney and Taylor.  We start off going to the pool.

We got her a slackline.  She was a natural at it.

Abby really wanted a pinata.   So we got her one.

Her friends are so goofy, just like her.
