HI HO SILVER!!! THE LONE RANGER RIDES AGAIN

This pony actually plays the theme song of the Lone Ranger.

Joke of the day: Where does the Lone Ranger take his garbage?

Don't know the answer? To the dump, to the dump, to the dump, dump, dump, dump...

DON KING aka BOBO THE CHIA PET

Mama's Christmas gift last year. Mama's friend who shall remain nameless gave it to her. Not sure what to make of it yet. At least Ollie and Stanley enjoy it.

Annual Women Division Meeting

This afternoon while papa and Mimi went over to Blake's for his 5th birthday party, mama who has been a Buddhist all of her life and a member of Soka Gakkai International, hosted her first women's meeting at our new home up here in Washington . It was a success. Everyone had a good time here and at Blake's

CAN I HAVE THE KEYS DAD?

Mama really dreads the day when it becomes time for Mimi to drive. If she is anything like her dad, YIKES!!! According to mama, papa drives fast and Mimi is already saying "But I like to go fast!!!"

On the way to the Ice Castles we were told by another driver that our brake light was out. So on the way home we stopped by an auto supply store when this picture was taken of Mimi rock'in out to "Funky Town" by Alvin and the Chipmunks. Another one of her favorite songs now a days.

NATALIE'S AND MADDY'S BIRTHDAY PARTY

This month it is Natalie's (blonde) and Maddy's (dark haired) birthday. So the two families decided to celebrate it together at the Ice Castle in Renton. Much to mama's surprise they have walkers for the kids who don't or are not able to skate on their own.

For the first couple of pictures of Mimi and her papa, mama forgot about Mimi's helmet. One does not really need them in fact all of the kids did not wear them. Mama thought it would be a good idea though since this was the first time for Mimi to ice skate and another boy (Cole) from the party fell and konked his head on the ice. Needless to say mama had Mimi put her helmet on.

All in all a good time was had by everyone.

LITTLE MISS BIG MOUTH

Mimi's social calendar is quite full of playdates, sleepovers and birthday parties. She is quite the social butterfly.

Tomorrow will be Blake's 5th birthday. This past Monday mama and Mimi had gone out to buy his birthday presents. Mama put them in the guest closet for safe keeping. Blake no sooner put one foot into our house that night when Mimi shouted out to him "Hey Blake, you wanna see your surprise?!!!" Then proceeded to show him the Transformer. Mama could not get there fast enough to stop her. Fortunately she was able to stop Blake from getting a good look at it.

MIMI THE ARTIST

The first time papa saw the drawing on the wall he nearly wigged out on mama. Mama then assured him that it is the crayon that is specificaly made for the tub. He then sighed a huge relief. PHEW!!!! Mama had him going for a while.

According to the artist, it is a picture of a sailboat on a waterfall.
