Halloween '08

The boys sure had a fun Halloween. The festivities lasted 2 days. On Thursday CJ got to have a party at pre-school and they went trick or treating around the business offices at the rec center. Then later that day was the Fall Line Trick or Treat. When we got there they had set up a fun little spook alley for the kids to walk through. Then we walked around to everyones offices and got a bunch of candy. Then on Friday Halloween we went over to our friends the Sjobloms for their annual Halloween activities. We ate homemade soup and baked goods and then they guys took the kids out trick or treating. CJ loves to go with his buddy Noah. Needless to say with all the rounds CJ got way more candy then I will let him eat. Of course Jason and I have been doing our share to try to help!

My new adventure

RooBarb Designs

I am venturing into a new business and I need your help. My mom has created a beautiful new line of jewelry and we are trying to get it out for the public to see. If any of you would be interested in hosting an open house to show some of our pieces. This won’t be one of those silly parties where everyone has to sit through a boring demonstration or silly games. I would simply bring pieces to your home to display, your guests could just drop in during the allotted time slot and pick out what they want. All I would ask you to do is set a date and give me a guest list, I will take care of sending out invitations. Most of our pieces are one of a kind so each open house will have a different selection to choose from. As a thank you for hosting an open house you as the hostess will receive a discount on any pieces you wish to purchase along with a special hostess gift.

Remember the holidays are coming and jewelry makes a great gift. Why not get your shopping done early and out of the way.

Please e-mail or call me and let me know when you would like to host an open house. RooBarb Desings, we make beautiful jewelry for beautiful women!

New Pictures

Gus needed his one year pictures done, so CJ and I got in on the act. Don't worry I will be sending some out.

Four Wheeling

We took the boys four wheeling last weekend out to the desert. CJ has been begging to go and this summer was so hot we had to put it off. He finally got to get out and ride. Gus was even able to get in on the fun, we just put his carseat in the rhino so he could ride along. CJ loves to ride with his poppy because he goes fast and takes him on the crazy hills. After 3 days and I don't know how many rides we were all covered in dust and had an absolute blast.

Weekend at Cherry Hill

We took the boys to Cherry Hill this weekend for a little "light" camping and some fun. CJ got to go miniature golfing Friday night for the first time which he really enjoyed. We spent most of the day Saturday at the water park and both the boys had a fun time with that. They had a lazy river which we wondered if we were ever going to be able to get CJ off of. They also had a neat kids play area called Pirates cove which had a big pirate ship and little slides just the perfect size for CJ to go down all by himself. Jason, Gail and I took our chances on the Cardiac Canyon tube ride that was pretty fun, the only one who got dumped in the drink was Jason but he still had fun. I think we will make it a yearly tradition to take the kids up there as an end of summer adventure.
