Halloween 2009

       It is hard to believe that last year on Halloween we moved into our new home. On October 30th Phyllis, David and I went to a Halloween Party at the Italian American Club and had a really good time. We did not dress up but a few of our friends did and they looked great. There was also dancing, and Karaoke.
        On Halloween night, since Jen and Ty do a Haunted House on the other side of town, we got to take Jasmine and Adam Trick or Treating. Something I had not done since I had taken Ty when he was bout 12 years old.
The following is pictures from both nights.

This is Barbara and Vern

The next few pictures are from the very decorated Italian American Club.

Summer Birthday Celebrations

Summer in this family is a time for Birthdays (and for watching Hummingbirds in the backyard) first Jasmine's on the 12th of June, which we celebrated at Ty and Jen's on the 14th A week later was Father's day, that we did at our home but we also celebrated Jen's birthday, and her Mom's. No pictures from that day. I get too wrapped up with visiting sometimes.

In July there is Logan's birthday, and he was very gracious and celebrated my birthday with his at Gail's house. We really had some nice family get togethers this summer. We also had a barbecue on September 6th. Dad, Ty, and David are in August, so we thought we just to the cook out on Labor Day weekend. I do have a couple of pictures from that family function, one of David in his new Stooges shirt, Thank you Valerie and one of Logan playing Guitar Hero on our TV. What a neat game. Logan was our entertainment.

The following are scenes from Jasmine's birthday in June at Ty and Jen's house,

The following are all pictures from Valerie's visit right after Easter. We all had a great time. A lot of talking, as you can see a lot of eating, and joking around. David's Mom came over one night, Dad was here a few nights. Ty had pointed out the last time Valerie was here he was flat on his back, this time he had the privilege of carrying her luggage, this was a good thing.
