Hangin with Brandon...

Brandon came home for Thanksgiving! Cache was excited to have a buddy to hang out with and Emma found herself a new friend....
Brandon didn't get much time to himself even to read...

Rich told Cache they could go shooting when B came home. He looked forward to it for the whole month. He had such a good time that when anyone asked him what he wanted for Christmas he told them a shotgun. He also decided that everyone else should get a gun, including Emma.

We went bowling with B and Alan! Here are the goofballs rockin out...

Yes, that is correct Cache beat Brandon on his first game bowling! I guess that is what happens when you are holding your phone while trying to bowl....

Birthday cookies for Brandon...

Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you...

Brandon's typical look....

We had a great time with Brandon! We were happy to have him and sad he had to go home. On the way to the airport Cache said, " Today is airport day. It is the day everyone takes their Uncle Brandons to the airport!"

Man Day

Right before Thanksgiving the boys had a Man Day and went to the
Chargers stadium to watch football! Brandon must have missed me because he purchased tickets right by my flag! Go BUCS! Opening ceremony before kick off! You got to love those colors!

Poor Grandpa, he knows he has a camera somewhere on his phone....

The posse...

Alan had to find sleep somewhere due to Rotten's snoring.

Although the trip to CA was really short I think everyone enjoyed themselves.

Typical day...

A typical day at our house involves some sort of video game. We really enjoy playing the different lego games and Super Mario Brothers. They looked so cute playing together I had to take this picture!

Halloween in December!

In August we found the cutest cow costume for Miss Emma for Halloween. When Cache found out that Rich was going to be Darth Maul he decided that he needed to be Obi Wan Kenobi and the geek was on for Halloween. So instead of this cute cow...

The Miss became the cutest Princess Leia ever.....
I made her a gold bikini and Ging was kind enough to make these cute buns.

Here is Obi Wan out to save the world..

Darth Maul and the Miss...

Here is the whole fam getting our total geek on..

Our own little Jango Fett. We picked this costume up after Halloween on clearance.

Halloween was a lot of fun this year. It was really cold and very wet. Cache made it two houses and decided he had enough candy. Although we didn't get out much on Halloween it has been Halloween every day at our house!

The horns and contacts...
Then the red....

Another view...

Emma loved to look at Rich and touch his face. She found him fascinating.Cache thought he was pretty cool.

Cache helping with the clean up...

Head Shaving

For Halloween Rich decided to be Darth Maul. In order for him to do so he had to shave his head. SO Cache decided he could help with that.
Cache continued to shave the same part over and over until Rich almost had a bald spot.

Rich took matters into his own hands and began to look like Mr. T!

Cache thought his head felt pretty cool!

My tough little Man!

Asking Rich if he is going to use shave gel on his head.

Getting the remainder of the hair off!Not as easy as you would think.

The finished results....Emma has more hair than Rich!

Family Pictures

We decided before Rich shaved his head this year for Halloween we would get family pictures. When we arrived both kids were sleeping! I wasn't sure how things would work out, but I am very happy with the pics.Posies Photography did an awesome job getting both of our wiggly children to smile!
Cache is such a ham! This is how he wanted to hold the football. Trying to get him to hold still for more than a minute was challenging!

Emma was having a hard time keeping her head up, but was all smiles!

This picture should make any green bay fan proud. I must say it makes a bucs fan pretty happy! Although Emma's double chin is much cuter on her than mine is on me!

Rich trying to wrangle in the little man to come smile with the fam!

Miss Emma just hanging with dad!

As soon as I laid down with Miss Emma, Cache jumped right on!

I love this family picture! I think Ginger captured our family personality well! However according to Brandon one of these is not like the other!
