Alex Turns 20

Wow. I am old enough to have a 20 year old. Not cool! Anyway, we caught Alex on a rare break from touring. When he had his broken jaw, I had promised to take him to La Luna once he got everything off. He ended up losing 25 pounds so he was HUNGRY!!! Of course you can NEVER get a serious picture with this group, so I didn't even try! Here are Topher, Alex, and Tim. Here is Dave with "seefood" and Lisa!

Terry's joker look.

Here are me and "Letha".

After good food, the boys went over to Nickelmania and had a good time while the adults Bee Essed. Of course the Big Boys couldn't resist going over for a while.

Had a great time! Happy Birthday Alex, I am glad all of your dreams are coming true!!!!

Tim became such and expert, he started taking Topher for rides. Yes, I totally FREAKED out!!!!

Tim Gets Climbing Higher

One step closer to the goal! Tim got his Climbing Higher Award for 2011! This year he won it for having a good attitude. Here is his buddy Ryan getting one too!

It was kind of cool because he got to receive it from one of his favorite teachers, Mrs. Beckstead. (1st grade teacher)

Congratulations Tim!

Happy Birthday, Topher! Big eight! Here is a pic of Topher with his "brownie" cake.
This was cool. I took the pic while he was blowing out the candles. It made it look like a torch! Geez kid, you're only eight!!!!

Royalty

Tim and Topher decided to build "Queen Dusty" a castle and "serve" her. Talk about the life of a dog! Here is Topher defending the castle and Tim has a chewie on a zebra platter. Notice she is loving it!
When she jumped down, they all left the room to follow her. When they came back, a knave had set up residence in the castle!!!!

Dogs are SO not stupid!!!!
