Birthdays and Bedroom...

Derek and Emily Keller are officially 10 years old now!  We celebrated their birthday this year at Happy Joe's pizza and ice cream parlor!  All of our local family was there.  The also brought along one friend to help celebrate....Here are some pics!

It was a fun day!  I was going to order their cakes but they both wanted me to make them!  They were good!

Next, it was on to finishing Debbie's bedroom...We started with the wiring, drywall, mud and tape....then sanding...

Then, it was priming, painting, trimming, hanging up the shelves that John built, moving in furniture and decorating....

I just had to add one more pic to this post....Derek made a chair for Emily all by himself!  She loves it and he is so proud!!!

Wonderful job Derek!

Up on the roof top...

As if John wasn't busy enough....he had the grueling task of putting on a new roof.   He added a peak by the  door and had a lot of repairs to do on the rafters and etc.  But he worked diligently and finally finished it!   It looks really nice!

Next was Willie's birthday....He is 30 now. 

Blaize was a little too young for ice cream and cake but really loved his carrots!  ha

Happy Birthday Debbie and Ieshia...

Today was Debbie and Ieshia's birthday!  We took them to master Stir Fry for supper.  Mom, Sheri, Brian, Sharayah, Blaize, Andy, John, I, Derek, Willie, and Emily were there also.   We had a great supper...food was good and John had the employees sing Happy Birthday in Chinese!  It was pretty cool! 

We had a good time....then we came home and had ice cream and cake and Debbie and Ieshia opened presents!

Ieshia was so excited about getting her new digital camera!

She was not expecting to get a new cell phone...She was overwhelmed with emotion....it was very touching!

What an awesome day we all had!
