a little monkey business over the long weekend

The two little monkeys were creating masterpieces on the sliding window (yes, those are markers for windows)

Heather and Emily were warming up the piano for pre-turkey day jam session

I love the expression on Heather's face and her bed head! LOL

You are wondering what she is thinking too arent you...

Happy Dance

Look Daddy.. there's dirt..lots and lots of dirt wanna play...

Nyotaimori anyone?

Our friend Jackie threw a surprise 30th Birthday party for her hubby Daniel. Daniel and his buddies enjoy going out for sushi when they can so Jackie surprised him with a sushi party, which included a sushi chef to make anything you desired, a great bar and the Nyotaimoir (aka naked sushi). Its a considered an art form of the Geisha's and has a long history in Japan. It was a great party and so nice to see some old friends. Our living room was turned into the kids zone and the backyard and patio became the sushi palace for the night.

This is the behind the scenes look of where the model was going to be


beautiful spread for the food

Surprise Daniel.. he was wondering why no one was able to go hunting this weekend!

flashback to the TC house.. Jerah, Joel, Daniel and Kevin

The sushi chef made little butterfly carrots for the kiddies

Devyn was showing the kiddies how to play the monkey in the box

The Model was just revealed (she was a surprise, everyone thought it was just the great sushi chef, they didnt know it was going to be served nyotaimori style


Chris is just silly.. aaahh the many uses of chop sticks


She does a few different poses

This is the cake.. Daniels sister, Tiffany, made it..everything on it is edible. She's so creative!

A few of the kiddies that were still awake helped blow out the candles
Daniel was surprised with the party and happy to see his friends and family. His bday really isnt until Dec but with the holidays coming up and all Jackie didnt want his big 30 to get pushed to the side. Jackie did a great job with the party, everyone had a blast!

Halloween Weekend

We had a great Halloween weekend with friends. We went to some parties, a carnival at the park and got to dress up and goof off
Aaron and Heather are trying not to look like they are into mischief.. but we all know the truth :)

Look out. there's a wild sock monkey on the loose, she may look cute but she will attack you with tickles at any given moment
