BOWLING PARTY

On Saturday afternoon Cameron had a birthday bowling party with a couple of his friends from school. We invited 4 boys, but only two could make it.

Adam, Mathis and Cameron.....

The girls and I bowled also, but on our own lane.....

After bowling we went back home for pizza, presents, cake, ice cream and fun time.....

Filling up the squirt guns.....

Time to attack the girls.....

AND with that......Cameron's birthday celebrations are over for another year!

5 WEEKS COMES TO AN END

Unfortunately, Friday ended our summer visit with Megan, Alex and dad. They loaded up dad's car Friday morning and headed to Vegas for a couple of nights and then back to Washington on Sunday. We had a GREAT time with them while they were here and are missing them hanging around the house with us! Before leaving on Friday I got the camera out for a few shots and it turned into an hour long photo shoot!

Here's Megan & Maleah outside while the packing of the car was going on.....

Back indoors we got crazy -- Rena would NOT cooperate, but we got some good ones of her......

OK, serious faces girls.....

Time to add Cameron and Alex.....

OK, time to add Jacinda and Gabby.....

GOOFY kids......

OH......serious again......

Just the boys.....(they are actually the easiest ones to take pictures of) -- usually.....

Snuggle time for Cameron with Megan (she has been threatening this all week long).....

NO MEG -- not kisses.....

One last snuggle on the couch.....

HEY -- it's my turn.....

Girls again......

Time to go, but Rena needed one last kiss from Meg.....

I just love it when we are all together!!!!

We had a great time with you Megan & Alex! We miss you!!

AUGUST 19, 2010 -- CAMERON IS 8

A favorite breakfast -- cinnamon rolls and doughnuts.....

Grandpa got his spankings out of the way first thing in the morning.....

An afternoon swim with Rena, Frank, Alex, Chelsea, Megan, Jacinda, Cameron, Gabby and Maleah.....

The birthday boy.....

Even Grandpa joined in the fun.....

On our way to The Old Spaghetti Factory -- the kids love riding in Grandpa's convertible. (I think Jeff might have a little bit of fun in it too!) Jeff, Grandpa, Alex and Cameron.....

Dinner (and some presents) at The Old Spaghetti Factory.....

Some more presents back at home.....

Hmmmm......where are we going to put this tether ball pole???.....

A pogo stick from The McCullough's was a big hit.....

Frank, Alex, Cameron & Rena checking out the new Lego Star Wars set from Frank.....

Oh, look -- Jacinda and Gabby know what Cameron likes also.....another Lego Star Wars set. Unbelievably they got him different ones and he didn't already have either.....

Cupcake and ice-cream time.....

Movie night.....guess what the movie was????.....YUP -- Cameron's pick for his birthday -- Star Wars.....

Late night and tired after the movie.....

We moved the group indoors and watched a couple of short videos that Cameron, Alex and Frank have been working on with their Star Wars Legos.....

Cameron had a great 8th Birthday.....and so did the rest of us that got to celebrate with him!

MORE SWIMMING FUN

We have spent a lot of time at the community pool this summer. Here are a few more pics from the past few times.....

Jeff & Megan doing what they do best -- being crazy.....
