HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAX!

What a fun filled day! We played video games, played in the pools, had a delicious dinner, had a great cake with ice cream and enjoyed a phone call from Debby (who is about ready to come home from Iraq). Max barbecued tri-tips for dinner and Kathy, Paul and Michael joined us.

The day before Max took Devin with her for a photo shoot she had to do for a friend and then to Radio Shack to find a "work" project they could do together. They ended up with the coolest 1965 Ford Mustang radio controlled car they are going to build. While they were gone, Desirae, Deanna and I baked the cake and did cards and decorations for the next day. Desirae decided the best places to put the decorations and cards (all over the bathroom mirror so she would see it when she first got up, all over the house and around her computer).


As an added note - this may be the sweetest thing in the world, BUT you end up paying the price when she is WIDE awake in the evening and does not stop talking, playing, kicking the wall etc. until around midnight. Desirae can fall asleep with tons of noise and she does not care, but poor Devin, Max and I paid the price for my afternoon snuggle. To give Devin some peace of mind and rest, we moved him to a room of his own. Of course, the night we changed him Deanna was asleep as soon as her little head hit her pillow!

The plans for tonight are that Paul, Max and Desirae and going to tie flies while Kathy, Devin, Deanna and I do some crafts. Max and Devin plan to build the car on Saturday. More pictures after the evening is over.

Later . . .

Those pictures are the best!! The top and bottom ones (people ones)should be framed. Very nice.
Those kids will NEVER want to leave. It's better than Disneyland there. I can't wait to come over and play. Pretty soon.
LOVE, Deb
