Jamey turned 30 on September 24th. :) To celebrate, I surprised Jamey by inviting a few friends to Osaka in Apple Valley. If you've never been to a Hibachi grill, I highly recommend going. Not only is the food excellent, it an entertaining experience. Jamey was very impressed & can't wait to go back!
Below are a couple of pictures taken at Osaka. The 1st is Jamey & Eric Zimmerman. Jamey said the only thing he could hear while they sang happy birthday, was Eric & I laughing. We laughed so hard, we cried! :)
It was Tammy Meyers' birthday on the 27th, so we included her on the birthday fun. (I won't tell you how old she is, lol!) When Tammy took her mask off, she had a stream of tears running down her face. She said she was laughing so hard because she could see how ridiculous Jamey looked & knew she looked just as ridiculous.
Homecoming was September 25th. To get in the spirit, I spray painted the kids' hair before school.
Lauryn enjoyed spray painting her hair so much, we do it on a daily basis now. JUST kidding! Lauryn was invited to a "Wacky Makeover" Birthday party & this was the end result. Lauryn began running a fever a few hours after the party which is why she looks so pale.
For the 1st time ever, the girls & I made Carmel apples. We had expert help, a.k.a. Grandma Sue & Grandpa Bill, so it went pretty smooth. I was very impressed with Grandpa Bill. He really knew his stuff.
We carved pumpkins at Jill & Mike's last night... what a mess! Mike heard somewhere if you cut the bottom of the pumpkin, rather than the top, it would be easier to get the "guts" out. Not true! It was the same struggle to get the guts out the bottom. Here's Lauryn digging the guts out the bottom of her pumpkin. McKenzie wouldn't let me take a picture of her, lil' stinker! I guess she's getting to that age. ;)
Ethan hand deep in his pumpkin's guts.
Devon looked so disgusted, I had to snap a picture.
One last picture, just because! This pictures was taken after Card Club. Yes, you heard right, Jamey & I are in a Card Club. As a matter of fact, I'm the founder. I LOVE playing cards & spending time with friends, so why not combine the 2 & make the point of doing so on a regular basis??? End result = Card Club. :) Zimmerman's hosted Card Club this month in New Prague. When the games were finished, we went downtown to a local bar where this picture was taken.
Happy Anniversary to my hubby of ALMOST 8 years!!! (Officially 8 years tomorrow.) I love you Jay!!!
