Happy Birthday Mike!

Happy Birthday to a wonderful husband, father, and friend. We thought we'd help you celebrate your day by allowing you to climb into the attic to get all the Christmas decorations. Of course we wouldn't want you to do it alone, so will have the help of Nana and Papa! Wishing you a year filled with many good things. We love you lots!

Love, Angie and Patrick

Happy Birthday Angie

You are a great wife, a great mom, and a great person. We love you. For your special day we thought we would take you to Nana & Papa's for a special Turkey dinner with all the trimmings.

Mike & Patrick.

Yuck Already

Is anyone else sick of the phrase "TomKat"? There is nothing cute about this combination of two names using the first name of husband and the first three letters of wife. Here is what it would look like for several members of family and friends:

MikeAng
MikeAnn
ChrisTri
KentKat
TerryMis
MikeMar
JamesMic
GregJac

Ever hope someone get a divorce? I hope these two do so I don't have to hear the phrase TomKat anymore. I swear the next time I hear it I am going to engage in an involuntary personal protein spill.

Ch Ch Ch Changes

Where is the attention to detail? One week ago a slight change was made to this blog . . . didn't anyone catch it? (Those who have been told in person are disqualified).

San Tan Fall Festival

Patrick's school had a Fall Festival today as a fundraiser. It was a good time. There were games, inflatable castles, prizes, food, etc. Seemed like a good time was had by all. Patrick has his "hammer" which he won and then proceeded to fight people with. He is also shown on the tractor ride. He did this a couple times. He also participated in a cake walk and won some cupcakes or pupcakes as he calls them.

Our Halloween Pirate

Patrick was a pirate for Halloween. I have to say that he was the BEST DRESSED Pirate. Thanks Grandma Obert for the great costume. He was able to trick or treat 3 different times. WAY too much candy. He took a Halloween class where they dressed up and then trick or treated from parent to parent at the end. When I took him to class he had the whole outfit on. When I arrived 1 1/2 hours later he had only the shirt, pants, and sash remaining. By the time we left the classroom only the pants and sash were still on. YIKES. The teacher was a little worried as the time went on. On Halloween Patrick trick or treated at Mike's office, then our neighborhood, and ended up hitting a few homes by Nana and Papa's house. He had a great time. He certainly was the best looking pirate around!

Happy Birthday Mom/Grandma

We love you.
