Xavier's 5th Birthday Party

We had Xavier's 5th Birthday Party Sunday June 1st. We had a lot of friends and family come which was a lot of fun. Xavier got a lot of great gifts which he loved and all in all I think everyone had a great time.

Honestly, I was terribly sick and was in some of the worst pain in my life. (I can only think of one other time where I felt worse then I did on Sunday.) Anywhos, so the cake is pretty simple because of that. Thankfully my wonderful sister-in-law Kelly game me bags of frosting to use so I didn't have to make any. That made my life so much easier. Unfortunately I was too sick to enjoy the wonderful frosting she makes, which is like my favorite thing in the world.

I had to slice this video up to make it short enough. I think its pretty funny. Damon and Xavier are pretty funny boys. But what is funnier is the conversation going on during the party. Some of my favorites were: my sister complaining about how long it was taking, complaining about being the middle child, and Adam reminiscing about his childhood. And its still doing the split thing which I just can't figure and its really ticking me off.

Thank you Uncle Ben and Aunt Kelly

It took Xavier a little while to get the hang of it but I think he got it now. Although Xavier was always more wet than Damon was. And poor Pugsley, he is going to never want to come over again!

Thanks guys for the waterguns...and for my gift card too...It's always a great surprise to have a box waiting for you. THANKS!!!

More tornado pictures...

My friend Jim just sent these. Pictures are taken from the Miller Ranch area.

Not a good day to buy a Toyota...

Our area of Kansas is all the talk because of some major tornados hitting our area. Manhattan was hit last night with a toronado that was 2-4 blocks wide. It hit a housing area called Miller Ranch (about 30 homes were demolished), then the True Value (a new building that was just over a year old), Midas, and the Toyota dealership (where we bought our van 5 years ago), then the tornado took its wrath out on K-State (can't say I blame it, just teasing). Fortunately, no one seems to have been hurt or killed in Manhattan.

After hitting Manhattan, it went on to Chapman. Chapman is a small town 30 miles west of Manhattan. They are reporting up to 80% of the town to be destroyed. Unfortunately, there have been two deaths reported, one in Chapman and one in Soldier.

Some pictures I took and found on the web...


Little Apple Toyota




Midas is beside Little Apple Toyota, the picture below is Midas as well.




True Value, believe it or not...


This building is right next to True Value, I think they used it for the items they rented out as well as storage, it appears to have very little damage.

This is from someone's backyard at Miller Ranch.

Damon's First T-Ball Game

Damon had his first T-Ball game yesterday. He did really well and seemed to like it a lot too. He ways never called out and always made it on base. They don't keep score, which I think is lame, so I'm going to say they won every game. (What's the point in playing a game if no one wins?)
