It's a Torch! It's a Bonfire! No, It's John's Birthday!

We celebrated John's 42nd birthday this month.  We love him so much!

(Ignore the Christmas wrapping paper here.  That's one of the things about having a December birthday, you get Christmas wrapping paper.)

AJ is a Hoot!

AJ played his school's mascot, Hoot, at a recent spirit assembly.

Here is some video of his experience.

Hoot playing with the "caught being good" winner.





Unveiling Hoot.

AJ is an AMAZING reader!

AJ's school has an accelerated reading program.  Each child has a reading goal, and AJ not only reached his goal, he surpassed it!  His goal was 44 points.  He earned over 66 points!  His school awarded him with a medal.

We are so proud of him and his hard work!

Apple "Pi" Pie

John made an apple pie and decided to make it a true "pi."

Disneyland with the Malaman Family!

My sister, Mandi, and her family came for a visit Thanksgiving week.  We had our Thanksgiving dinner on Wednesday and went to Disneyland together on Thursday (Thanksgiving).  Here are some highlights!  (And Mandi, I caught Logan looking in a couple of these!)

Merry Christmas!

What the Heck is a Frito Pie?

I guess it's from the "secret menu" at Sonic, and David really wanted to try it.  So here it is. 

He loved it!

Sushi

Here are more pictures from John's iPhone.  We went out for sushi (all you can eat) and took a picture of all the food.  It was yummy, but more than we could eat!

Nags Head, NC

Yes, I know we went there over a year ago, but I found these pictures on John's iPhone.  This pictures are from the beach looking back at the beach house.

Isn't it beautiful?

Could Anything Worse Happen on Vacation?

When we went on vacation to the Outer Banks, NC last summer, John had a horrible allergic reaction to spray on sunscreen.  He had hives all over his chest, back, and legs.  After suffering for a day, he agreed to go to urgent care.  Thankfully, they gave him a steriod shot, and he felt a lot better. 

Here he is in the waiting room.

A Night Out On The Town

Another old iPhone picture, this one is from a double date with some good friends.  They're not in the picture, but they took it for us.

What Good Lookin' Men!

More pictures from John's iPhone.  (About a year old.)

Look how fancy they look in their church clothes!
