A Whole New Somethin'
This is for REAL!! Check out some of his other stuff on youtube. His Mariah Carey/Boyz II Men Duet is rather impressive also. And Somewhere Over The Rainbow. It's quite amazing. Or somethin'.

Halloween 08
I love Halloween!!! We decorated the house, we got the costumes and we got/ ate tons of candy. This year, Brad stuck with the same costume that he made several years ago. Here he is feeding Samara peaches with his costume.
Oh, and BTW it was 70 degrees on Halloween. Hello?!?!?! This is Michigan!! But it was great!
Hyrum was Batman and Isaac was Spiderman (again) - my little super heroes. Asher was Pablo (again) and Samara was a frog.
And then there's me. Brad had a bunch of old-ish underwear that needed to be disposed of so I cut it all up and made a mummy costume.
The kids look thrilled, huh? They were a little T.O.-ed that we wanted to take another picture, especially when there was candy to be handed out, just for being cute!
When night came, we turned on the black light and really became the place to be. There were some kids that saw us though and said, "I don't want to go over there." The worst part was I had lost my voice due to allergies, so I couldn't reassure kids that it was just me. I told most kids that it was my spooky Halloween voice.
The only sad part was when it was over. Brad's parents were here for it and took our kids Trick-or-Treating. They pooped out pretty soon - the kids AND the grandparents. :)

Lou'ville
Brad had a conference in Louisville, KY a few weeks ago. Since they were paying and we had a sitter for the kids, I decided to tag along. We drove the 5 1/2 hours and stayed in downtown Louisville. It was so much fun. We ate at a place called Bootleg BBQ. It was pretty good.
We also ate at Lynn's Paradise Cafe, a place that was featured on Throwdown with Bobby Flay on Food Network. It was so good that we ate there for dinner (I got a fried green tomato BLT) and then 2 days later for breakfast. It was honestly some of the best food I've ever had. And since Brad is my personal chef, that's really saying something! The decor was crazy. If I could look inside Isaac's head and create a room, I would create this restaurant. If you're ever in Louisville, it's worth it!!
This stuff was inside the store part of Lynn's. Such silly stuff.

It was a great day and all a 1 year old could want - sugar and dirt.
