Happy Birthday Mark: October 2007

Mark had to be in the Philippnes for his birthday this year. Since he was gone for two weeks it gave Jeromey & Tobie Hannel and myself plenty of time to install the back half of our surround system. Jeromey had many hours in the hot dirty attic threading the wires exactly where they needed to be. They turned out great and Mark was thoroughly suprised!

(Left) I made a birthday cake for Mark. It was a white cake with cheesecake flavoring and a whipped raspberry filling. It was delicious!

(Left) Olivia and the kitties gave Daddy the 4th season of The Family Guy on DVD.

As you can see from the pictures the speakers turned out great!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN: 2006

No we didn't use our daughter to get candy for ourselves!

This is our candy that we passed out to trick or treaters.

We just put it around her for a cute picture! LOL

We had a 40th Birthday "Game Night" party for Mark!

Poster I made for Mark with pictures of him since birth. Everyone had a good time looking at the pictures and having a few laughs!



Marie made Mark 40 cupcakes for his birthday cake...we lit 40 candles for him to blow out! Took awhile but we got'er done! LOL
