Uncle Chris

My brother just emailed me this picture. I thought it was cute. He was a brave man. His wife has been in the Phillipines visiting her family this month. He was headed to his house in Oak Hills for the weekend to do some "honey do's" and decided that he wanted company. He took Kassy, Brittnie and RJ with him, without his wife and for overnight. He even got up and made them a great breakfast. This is a guy that gets waited on hand and foot by his wonderful wife.
They love it up there. They ride the quads all day. It is the perfect place for that. There are only dirt roads that lead to the homes so so in areas where there are not homes there are pathways and jumps. The fun of quads and then a beautiful house to go get the dust off in. They had a great time.

Downtown Disney

Brittnie got picked to go help Mattel do some research. About 10 Mattel employees took 8 girls to Downtown Disney to Rainforest Cafe for dinner. They had two girls each paired off with two of the employees. Brittnie and her friend Hannah got paired with the two Barbie Doll designers. How cool is that!! They said that the Barbie image is beauty and they just talked to the girls to see what clothes they liked to wear and how they liked to do their hair and stuff. Then the got to go to Club Libby Lui for a makeover. Libby Lu's is a girl's dream place. They did their hair in an updo, did their makeup, painted their nails and depending on which updo the girls picked they got some accessories to go with it. Brittnie picked the celebrity DJ and got a new toy dog with it's one carring purse and pink collar and pink head set. Her friend's mom that went with her bought them the rock star hair to put in. The girls just had a good time. They didn't even realize that they were "working" and helping with market research. Kassy and Katelyn (the two older sisters) took there annual passes and headed into California Adventure (first time Kassy has gone off with a friend on her own to do that. That was a big step for me!!!) Katelyn also took Kassy into Build-a-Bear and bought her a bear for an early birthday present. They had a great time.
Here are the girls showing off their new dogs and bears.

RJ's 5

I can't believe it. He is such a good boy. He loves to help, loves his sister's and is such a sweet boy. Don't get me wrong he is ALL boy but he does have his sensitive side. He can't help it having three sisters. He had a great birthday. He loved his new bike. We thought he finally deserved a boy one instead of a pink one spray painted red still with all the white trim.
He went from this.....

To this!!!!

He had his favorite breakfast. Cinnamon swirl french toast.

He had a bunch of friends come over. They played some relay games, had a pinata and pizza. What more could a 5 year old ask for?



We love you RJ!!!
