Everyone check out Miranda Swartz's blog. She's amazing and created it herself. I'm impressed!
She's very computer savvy.

PAINTBALL 2007

The Annual after Thanksgiving Paintball Event was super fun AGAIN this year. We actually did it two days in a row. Here's some highlights of Friday's Game.

Ahad joined us from the country of Azerbaijan. He's really cool.
He can speak Azerbaijan, Russian, and English fluently. I love
his accent. He has a terrific sense of humor!


Felippe is from Brazil and speaks Portuguese and English.
I'm always mixing these two up and calling Ahad Felippe etc.
Felippe played both days with us.

The Swartz Fam joined us this year. The kids played the
second day out but I forgot my camera that day. Morgan,
Miranda and Sage are really good shots! Here's Morgan and
Miranda with Molly and Robyn.


Here are the girls in training with dad Mike.

Heather is one to watch out for....
Here's Greg as photogenic as ever...


Sam...Daniel and Emily....


Ben...Andrew...


Randy.....Jeff.....ok where exactly is Jeff?..Here's John P. instead...

And friend Oren...and Paul...and is that Jeff?

I know these aren't action photos but geez you try taking
photos in the middle of a fight! At one point Molly, Robyn and I
were running for our lives!
Here's some funny shots...


Randy and Paul making out...

This one isn't funny but I liked it....




Afterward everyone gathered at Randy's for food...talk...and sleep?

Here's Shannon and Sage...what do you think Shannon is up to here?

She's making her own dressform. First Sage wrapped her
in plastic wrap and then duct tape. Then she cut it off her.
Ingenious!

THANKSGIVING

Thanksgiving is the one Holiday that really makes sense to me. Giving Thanks for everything we have been blessed with this past year...I always wanted to have a Thanksgiving where everyone grew something and then brought to the feast. Even the turkey! I'm especially grateful for Family. Here's a recap of the Holiday...
First what is Thanksgiving without an Indian and a Pilgrim?















Steve...



Enjoying the FEAST...

Sari swallowed the whole turkey...

Turkey is a natural sleeping tonic so to wake us up we played some games...
Like Guesstures....

This is Felippe...he's from Brazil...

The cat was thirsty...

The GIANT playroom was a big hit. Just about everyone took a turn at gymnastics!
The Bar...



Jousting on the Beam...


Halo addicts kept it up all night...
And then there was the springboard....




We also had KAREOKE with wigs on.
We played SARDINES. It was so much fun in the Swartz House because it's so
big and there are so many hidey holes. Ever seen 12 people in one shower?
I have tons of pics and obviously can't post them all. Needless to say
We had tons of fun! Thanks to the Swartz' for their hospitality in sharing
their home.
