Another 30th

Another friend turned the big 3-0. (Yikes!)

This time it was Becky:

The blond one :)

A whole group got together to celebrate with her - at this fantastic restaurant. We hadn't been there for quite some time - I love the cheesecake. So good. In fact, it was the first restaurant where I actually liked the cheesecake (and this was not too long ago) because before I wasn't too fond of it. (It's my father's favorite dessert). I ended up getting the lettuce wraps. I would like some now please. Thanks.

Her SIL and CIL got her the best gifts - a bunch of "old" people stuff: diapers, prunes, denture cream, etc. It was AWESOME.

The group was huge - maybe like 20-25 people. Some how we got seated at the kids table. Between kids. Poor Darin.

Sweet baby S.

M. in the stripes.

Jeff and little D.

It turned out to be a great evening. Always interesting when there were children involved. Found out that baby S. really really likes fresh whipped cream. Kept her busy for quite some time while her Mama got ready to go. She still was a bit afraid of Darin. She'll learn eventually that he's just terrified of her, and she can do whatever she wants to. :)

Happy Birthday Becky!

Back in October

There was Halloween.

Remember that? Way back when?

We actually had a wonderful time. Super fun.

Darin and I decided to go as Wayne and Garth from this movie/show. I don't know why we decided to this this, all I know was that it worked for us. (In college during some sorority thing, my friend Kara and I were W and G too. I was Wayne and she was Garth. I have pictures. (So it really happened). I just have no idea why we did this. Hmm.)

Got our clothes at G00dwill. Hair at a costume shop.

Took forever to get my hat. I should have just ordered one from the Internet. Ended up getting it from here. Totally would recommend them.

Had two parties to go to. Yes, we're popular.

First was at Cherrah and Jeff's house.

Us. Ha.

Scotty (Mr. Woods) and Garth.

Jailbait (Alisa) and I (Wayne)

I swear the people there who didn't know me though I was a guy. Really. It was creepy.

Had lot of fun there, but were late. And we had to go to another party too so just sort of left - but had a great time. And ate way too much food. Still thinking about the bean dip. Ahh, bean dip.

Second was Mercy and Frank's bash:

Frank as Frankenstein. Clever.

Darin's brain. Haha, it's far to big to be his.
Ha ha.

Small group at their house.
Frank, Mercy, Raji, Nazelle, Chris' wife, Chris
(don't remember her name. oops.)

And we ate even more there.

Mercy had all this super creative food. Like hot dogs as fingers. Zingers as tombstones. And the Jell-0 brain. Awe. Some.

Our squirrel.

Came home to torture the dog. He doesn't particularly like Halloween. Or costumes. Or squirrels.

We went to Diana and Gus' house for the actual night - on Sunday - to help hand out candy. Yikes they get a lot of kids. The four of us and the two dogs helped celebrate the trick-or-treat tradition - and we only ate a little bit of the candy.

fun. fun.

From here.

I'm in the 'Enough for most scientists' group.

Is that sad?

Or something you'd assume about me?
