Zachary's Birthday

Well, Zachary is a whole handful now and that's putting it in simple terms! We had a very fun night the 29th as we celebrated his #5 Birthday with a #5 Blue Angels Jet. He had to have a party hat so we raided Grandma's dress-up box and came up with a pirate kid! We've had an eventful past year with him and we're glad to look forward to another year of adventures with him!
I'm sure everyone is wondering what is on his head. It's the pinata leftovers! Well... Zachary decided he just had to have a pinata for his birthday and I told him if he wanted one he had to help me make one. No store bought copies for us. We robbed Grandma of her Sunday papers, mixed some flour and water, got supper gooey spreading it all on an orange balloon and ended up with a (you guessed it) balloon shaped pinata! Zachary painted it up then added a crepe paper #5. I added some surprises inside then Zachary smashed it! All in the name of fun!
Macey is glad to be on the receiving end of the pinata excitement. She helped with making it and was very confused when we gave Zachaary a stick to hit it. She was even more concerned when it eventually ended up in the trash. Funny how enough sugar can erase all that though!
Joshua is a party animal too. Here we see him striking one of his best poses for the camera as Grandpa assists him on a walk to keep those ice cream calories off!
We loved having three of the great grandmas at Zachary's party. We stole a quick picture with Great Grandma Betty Lou before we headed home for the night. We love you Grandma!

Cavalier Given New Life

Here are the pictures of the new paint on the Cavalier for all of those who wanted them. It looks the same, we used the stock color, except it has it's gloss finish back instead of the ever classic oxidation look. OOOOH, IT'S SHINY!!

Getting ready

We have been getting ready for everyone coming for the Blue Angel's. We are helping Ron and Karen re-do their bathroom and finish the home theatre project. I must say though I believe my buggy work is getting a little tiresome for Angie and the kids, but I'm almost ready. Here is a little stress test I did today. I drove about 6 miles worth of abuse and it did great. I finished off with a 0-50 test run, not a real aggressive launch but not to shabby. The smaller tires really helped with the gearing and made it much more responsive. If you want it is on you tube in high res. if you can find it called "dave buggy test".
