Help! No More Facial Hair In This House!!!!

Dan informed us all that November is Mu-vember at his work, and all the men are growing mustaches. I am not a fan of the individual mustache. Grown with a goatee, or as an accessory to a beard is great....but a lone mustache just doesn't do it for me. Jesse and I have been berating poor Danny for the last few weeks to shave it off...we told him he looks like a greasy cop; but James, on the other hand, is an avid mustache supporter. James decided that since he can't grow a real mustache, he would draw one on his face with marker! Now that's love for your father!

James is Eight!

Was this boy once a tiny baby with a dusting of black hair and a little round nose? I can still picture him in my head, but when I look at him now, it seems so long ago! James is turning 8 tomorrow and to celebrate he had a sleep over "Mario Brothers" party with a few of his cousins.

Jesse was even more excited than the birthday boy! While James was at school, he helped me make all the cupcakes and James' cake. He had to make sure that he was the one to put Mario on top of the cake!

We had a scavenger hunt for "Yoshi's egg", and at the end, the kids found their own Mario Mustaches!
James has wanted an Ipod for a very long time. My parents got him a shiny green one for his birthday, and his reaction was priceless! He got so many fun things from everyone, and we really enjoyed and appreciated getting to spend time with our family!

Make a wish, James!

Happy 8th Birthday, Bud!
