If you couldn't guess I am the one posing up front witht the purple sleeves.
Last night I threw a big surprise party for Dave's 30th birthday. We had a fabulous turn out and it was really fun to catch up with alot of friends and family. The best part was he actually was surprised, I couldn't believe it. Thanks to everyone who came and made Dave's birthday so special. I was to busy living in the moment to take pictures but Dave's brother Dan loaded tons of pictures from the past two Wright family reunions on our computer so I am going to put on lots of fun photos from those. These are up in Washington on Anderson Island in August of 2007. This was one of my favorite trips because my sister was living in Washington at the time so I got to spend alot of time with her as well. I loved kayaking on the ocean playing tennis going on walks, seeing deception pass, lots of fun memories.

I guess my baby is growing up, she is 9 months old now. Dave has been encouraging Kinley to climb the stairs, which is a little scary for me. We have never had stairs with any of our other kids so they haven't learned to climb them until they were older. Now climbing is her favorite thing to do, she climbs the five lower stairs and turns the corner and heads up the next ten. Now to figure out how to teach her to go back down them.
This time of year I feel like we just rush from one holiday to the next and then it is all over come January. I wish we could just slow down and enjoy the holidays sometimes. Halloween was a bust for me this year as it usually is. I just can't seem to get into it. The kids had a good time and I guess that is all that really matters. Kinley was a lion, Taylin was a purple dragon and Jaxon I am not really sure what he was. He didn't want to wear his fireman costume, he just wanted to be scary.
My fruit gobbler turned out as well as expected, it could have been a lot worse. Once I got it made I couldn't get it to fit in my fridge, I should have thought about that sooner. I finally rearranged all of the shelves and got it in, transporting it was another story.
We just got the pictures back from my sisters wedding party so I will post some of them. I just wanted to say thanks to three of my friends for helping to make the party so fabulous. My friend Kira that does weddings did all of the decorations, chairs, backdrop, center pieces etc. she made it so beautiful. My friend Amber did the cake and it was amazing and my friend Kristen whipped me up a dress in a flash that fit wonderful when I coudn't find anything to wear. Thanks girls for everything.
At the beginning of the school year I signed up to be part of the party committee for Jaxon's school class. I thought it would be an easy way to get some of my service hours for the school (every couple has to give 20 hours of service per year to the school). Anyhow, I got my first assignment for his harvest party at his school on Thursday. It is called a Fruit Gobbler, I told the lady in charge that I will try but cannot guarantee that it will resemble a turkey.
Kind of cute don't you think. There are tons of cute ideas like this on the Family Fun website. There are really cute turkeys made out of Oreos, that is more up my alley. I'm going to give it a shot I will post a picture when my turkey is done.
I have had a couple inquires on how my little kitties are. They are getting so big and will be ready to find homes in about two weeks. Two of them are six toed cats, I hear they are very lucky. Taylin is going to be heartbroken when they leave. Every time she goes missing I find her down stairs with a kitten stuck to her shirt. She tried sneak one to her bed the other night
