Alan's Birthday Party


Hi Everyone!
We celebrated Alan's birthday yesterday and he had a great day. His
birthday is actually tomorrow - September 8th!!! Thank you to
everyone that was able to come and for those who weren't able - you were
truly missed. Carrigan even made several comments but we all understood. Alan
even wanted to know where you were!

Here are some pictures that I took from his party:



Alan's awesome cake made by his Aunt Kati. As usual - it was perfect. For those
that have not seen her previous cakes - look back at my January and September
postings in the previous years! Thanks Kati for making his special cake.



Before everyone got to the house Rusty took Alan outside to fly
his new Nemo kite. The wind was perfect and he had so much fun!



Here's a group shot of the kids ~
Left to right starting in the back:

Alan had so much fun opening his presents. He has played with all of
them all day long! Thank you to everyone for the awesome gifts!
Kristi - those Transformer's are hard - glad they came with
instructions - HAHA! Alan loves them!!! Especially the one that
changes to an airplane. Of course - Alan loves

all of his tractors, trucks, train, book, etc....




Alan blowing out his candles. In case you can't tell in the picture -
the candles on the left spell out his name!

Guess who can cut the grass now (with supervision)?
CARRIGAN!

She asked Rusty her daddy if she could do it and he said why not!
Here's some pictures!



Carrigan was very serious about her new job!



Rusty walked behind her in the beginning just to make sure she got
the hang of it. She is still quite small - her feet didn't reach the deck - HAHA!



Because of her size - Rusty had to put a phonebook behind her. With this type
of garden tractor you have to stay back on the seat or the motor will

turn off. If you stand up the motor will turn off. You have to keep

constant weight on the seat. This was the only way we could keep the
motor running and her still be able to cut the grass.

Rusty told her how to keep the tractor straight but....



I could not resist taking this picture of the crooked cut. She did a
great job though!!!



There she goes!

Here's is a video of her cutting! I hope it works!

MEET TORY!

Tory is a Goffin Cockatoo! She is a great bird. She talks, dances, likes to
play games, loves to be scratched and I think she has found a new friend
with Rusty. She has yet to step up on my arm and she has already gone
to Rusty and even sat on his chest! She's a clown!!!!



I love this picture of her. It's kinda like she was posing for the camera!



Her close-up shot!

Have you ever seen a bird go to sleep?

GOING - GOING - GONE!



Tory was one tired bird from playing all day!

I hope that you enjoyed the pictures!

Have a great week!

Kim
