Nerf Gun Fight

We have a lot of birthdays in February. My mom, my father -in-law, Jordan and My sis-in-law Julie. We combined efforts at my house to celebrate. Jordan turned the big 10 and my mom turned 72. A little fact about my moms birth...Pearl Harbor was in December of 1941, my Grandpa shipped over seas to fight in WWII soon after. My mom was born 2 months after Pearl Harbor. My Grandfather didn't see my mom until she was almost 2 yrs old.

This is Scott beating up my niece Julia. It's typical.

My brother Mark about to start trouble......nerf guns ready

My mom LOVES Jewlery.

Scott running away from the bullets starting to fly

...and this is what he's running from.

Jordan possessed by the Gods of the Nerf Gun

I actually caught most of it on my video camera instead of pictures.

My brother Aaron beating up Jordan after Jordan plastered him right between the eyes with a dart....he he. My moms disease if getting really bad and  I miss my mom. If she were the mom I knew, she would be knee deep in the nerf gun fight.

Happy Birthday Dad

Today is my dad's 79th birthday. He's been saying he should of passed 10 years ago...but he's still here, and we're glad. Never seen my dad with hair? Bam...here ya go!

While reflecting on the death of my father-in-law this Tuesday, I am reminded how important dad's are. Their example, their words, how they handle life, all have a great impact on the lives of their children and how they feel about themselves. My dad always told me I'd be miss America some day. I thought I was ugly growing up..but I always knew at least my dad thought I was pretty. He told me I was smart. He always tells me I'm his only little girl...and that makes me feel special.

Happy birthday Dad. Keep dogging those bullets because we need you here. Love you!
