My dear husband's company throwdown at "Butts Mill" went great. The only downside of the said event is that it makes us all overwhelmingly exhausted. People are everywhere and the facility's parking lot is full. Dale would never thought the party is gonna be a big "turnout" but the attendees proved otherwise. "Butts Mill Farm" is quite a huge piece of farmland but it's so spread out and that's why visitors aren't clamped up  in just one spot. As for the food.......oh boy! not only that there's sooo much vittles and victuals to choose from, but they're also delectable. Sodas are everywhere too. You can swim and have a bath for cases and cases of beverages and waters are in sight. WMDC is always generous to its employees not counted all the great benefits and incentives that this company gives away every month. The private party is for two days and it's free for every employees and their families. That's about the "best part" b/c it costs almost $85 for a family of four to get in. The heat is bothersome and it will drain your energy very quick but it's a party, so you can't gripe about 90 degrees temp hahaha. There's definitely no room for griping but a lot of space for fun. How's that for a "trade-in"? The kids really had a great time eventhough our Jann missed out being in the water. We have one more trip to make before school starts, so there's really no point of dwelling on it.

Speaking of school, we're thru shopping for school supplies and school clothings for Jann. Josef's list, on the other hand, is still on hold since he's gonna be in 6th grade this year. I have to attend his Orientation on the 4th and hopefully learn all the stuff he's suppose to have in his backpack when he show up for the 1st day of class. Our baby boy has changed a lot. All kiddie stuff to him is nothing but now a history hahaha. He wants a new knapsack, so we took him out of town to the mall to look for one. Been to three different department stores and still we can't find what he's looking for. He kept on insisting about "mesh with strap". Holly Molly! I started scratching part of my body that's not even itchy hahaha. Finally, "Hibbett" rang a bell! And there we found his $45 mesh w/ strap. At the store, Jann was busy testing the "weights" on display and she forgot about her "celfone". After making six more stops, she never realized her celfone was missing neither her dad, her bro, not even me. As soon as we pulled to the driveway and came to the back door, there's that "Hibbett" guy on our answering machine tellin' us......."Your daughter left her celfone on top of the folded shirts in our store". When I heard that, scratching an unitchy part of me never crossed my thoughts but bang my head against the wall instead hahaha. At present, her celfone would never get lost again b/c her dad bought her a celfone strap that way she can hang it around her neck. It sounds like I wrote another novelette here once again. I hope you enjoy viewing our fotos. Thanks for reading and have one frolic Friday everyone !!!

gwaps how are you? thnx for sharing your lots of fun moments at the party. will drop by again to read on. have a great day

It was nice to see those pictures from your hubby's private party. It's obvious that everybody had a good time. Jeth, I love the top you are wearing from the photos. You looks like a teenager with style

Oh my! those shots are gorgeous. As always, you are the model I idolized from the innercore of my heart . Your beauty is at all times glowing . Jeth, you really rock and you got a sense of style. I will check you again to read your posting....

Dear Jeth, gosh i almost missed your pics if I had not gone back to click your link! That place looks nice and so full of nature and fun! Company picnics are always nice and you see people you work with and their families. As for back to school shopping, my kids have bought all there things already...all matching. Some manufacturers got really smart and marketed matching binder, pencil case, pens, etc etc so my kids grandma can buy everything they want. Esp from Borders and Barnes and Noble, they got some nice school stuff. Me...I get my stuff from Target or Walmart! haha!! I did find a nice bag for my clinicals though...all black and machine washable but just the right size. I leave all my clinical stuff in my car because Im germaphobic. hee. Well I have to update soon but not today, too lazy. But my hubby bought me an american chiropractic chair today for a surprise!! Gosh, it is heaven to sit in. He see's me sitting all the time and knows my butt is getting sore so he got me a nice chair. So thats my excitement today. My kids, Grace went to a b-day party and Ally to the mall with her friend and her friends Mom. I felt queezy about that because I dont like her going thru the mall without me. I only let her stay a few hours then hubby pick them up. Okay my dear...your family is wonderful as ever and I'm glad you guys have so much fun together enjoying life....take care!

Josef's backpack is cool. I like it and the color is pretty. Enjoy your day and explore for more fun....

It's always good to spend family-time together. I know you have been doing that practice since I've known you. You are doing great at it and I'm proud of you. Anyhow, it's nice to see your private party pix. Looks like everybody had a great time especially the kids. Nice bag for Josef. I can tell he got a good taste just like his dad when it comes to personal stuff *wink*.

Wow how cute is that for Janna to have a cellphone. She's indeed daddy's little princess. Jeth, that is what I like most about you... you put your kids needs and well-being above everything else. Good job mom for being a wonderful model to your children. You really rock and I agree undoubtfully hehe.

expensive bag but it's worth the price. you have wonderful children and great family life. just surfing here from Arizona..........Amy R.
