OUR BAKUGAN BRAWLERS

On Saturday morning we took Gabe and Caleb to Toys R Us for a Bakugan Tournament. We had planned for them to just watch since they are not very familiar with the game. When we got there we were encouraged to let them play since they intended to teach the game to the kids. Since we did not bring their Bakugan and Toy R Us was out Daddy had to make a run across the street to Target.
This is why our Daddy rocks!
It was so cool to watch them play especially since the Bakugan cartoon is such a big deal to Gabe. Jim and I have spent many hours pretending to have Bakugan battles with Gabe and Caleb.
It was more than just a fun game for Gabe. It was like being a part of the cartoon. It was so awesome to watch them both!
Caleb dominated his battle winning all three! His opponent was a 12 year old girl. I was surprised to see all ages and sexes enjoying this game.
Gabe's opponent was a six year old girl and he won one battle and they tied twice.




Gabe is a bit of a sore sport and was upset at having tied. Naturally he was happy once Daddy explained he had won the tournament. I am working on his sportsmanship! Daddy is a bit of a sore loser as well but don't tell him that I said so!


A crowd had amassed to watch Caleb play his tournament. It was so much fun for the kids and the toys R Us employee that coordinated the event did a great job.
Pictures from our trip to the Moorehead Seafood Festival later in the day will follow. I forgot my camera so Janine did the picture taking.

OUR SILLY KITTY

I always find my little orange girl curled up sleeping in the cutest poses.
Now I hate her being on the kitchen table but look how sweet she is! Of course I left her there!
Yet another time when she is curled up on the table that she is not allowed on. Apparently Marty could not make her get down either. Naturally he got a picture for me since I was out. Just more evidence of her disobedience!
Isn't she a mess, a very cute mess!

OUR CRAFTS

Daddy built the boxes while I did the girls. Then we both decorated them.
These are Dragonball Z characters, don't ask me which ones. Daddy drew them and mommie colored and decorated them.
Dadies caterpillar and Mommies rabbit caterpillar.
Daddy made Gabe this cool G and Mommie made Caleb a silly face.
Daddy and the guys made me this cool #1 Mom hand and greeted me when I came home from the store. I am very very blessed!

Somehow Janine got Gabe and Caleb to dance at the princess ball.
There was some talk of a wedding but Kelis said she was not marrying anyone unless she saw a ring! You go girl!
Mommies cool dudes!
Thanks for another great party Janine! Love Ya!


OUR DANCE PARTY
We had a dance party for Tropical Storm Hannah.
Okay I am a little behind but enjoy the fun anyway!
The top pick was with the flash and the bottom without, cool huh!
We set up three strobe lights in the sunroom for our party.







With the flash.

It was a super groovy dance party and lots of fun for the guys!
