Charmed, I am sure....

In my FireMountain shipment were the end-beads for my wine charms. So, yeah! I get all of this stuff off of my desk...

Here are the Halloween wine charms that we will use for Neil's birthday. The family is coming over and we are celebrating Neil's 9th birthday...sigh, after this, he will be DOUBLE digits! Of course, we can't use spiders and witch's hats for Christmas, so, here is a new batch for Christmas!
Luckily, we are blessed with many friends...so, I also made some generic charms for those "non-holiday" get-togethers. Although, I am thinking of getting some patriotic charms for Independence Day.

On a follow-up to my last post: Today's President Cup results: The United States took 3 1/2 points in Thursday's foursomes matches to take a 3 1/2 - 2 1/2 lead over the International side after day one of The Presidents Cup. Hmm...I never really watched a golf tournament before... but, it is so much more exciting when you actually walked the course. This may get addicting!
Anyone want to go to the 2010 US Open @ Pebble Beach?

The President's Cup @ Harding Park

Jeff and I went to the President's Cup that is being held at Harding Park in San Francisco. It was a BEAUTIFUL day! We got there about 9:30 and scouted out the course...food and shopping...hee hee...like my new hat? I could never find a hat that I am happy with...too hot, too small...etc...this one fit nicely. Jeff also got one...(see below), minus the bow in the back of the hat!

We saw Tiger! Today was a practice round...so, we were allowed to take pictures...although we couldn't take our cell phones into the course. Amazes me...some people still smuggled in their phones, and they didn't put it on MUTE! AUGH!


The International Team were wearing the blue shirts...Greg Norman (in a sling), Ernie Els, and Mike Weir.

Anthony Kim, teeing off at the 15.
AND SURPRISE!!!! LOOK WHO IS WITH TIGER....MICHAEL!!!

Don't you just love Jordan? Sigh....I think he is sticking his tongue out...hee hee...we were more excited to see Michael than to see most of the golfers....sigh....after all who is our oldest son named after? Hint: It is NOT for King Hussein....of JORDAN....although he did pass away right before Jordan was born....and we told Jeff's basketball team that it was in memory of King Hussein....and some of the kids believe us....sigh.....

Weekend Catchup

So, this weekend was busy with a birthday party, BWA Rummage Sale, the Warriors Pre-Season start and just catching up on crafts and SLEEP...

Jeff was busy installing the exhaust system on my car. Hmm...Dylan, if you are reading this, maybe you should come see if he installed it correctly...just kidding...

Here is the end result...I think he needs to make a minor adjustment...and since we will be gone this weekend...he will have to do it sometime later this month.

On Saturday we went to Makaela's 4th birthday. Look at all of the little girls, and 1 boy...poor Jason...The "big kids", Kaitlyn, Jordan and Neil were hiding....it was a nice get together...and it's amazing to see how big these kids are getting....I also received my Fire Mountain Beads shipment. Now I can try to make that Honu charm... and package up some crystals for the strawberry charm. I'm getting it ready for the Girl's Vegas Trip....everyone is going to learn how to make a Strawberry.....I think the pineapple might be easier....I guess I will give them a choice.


Yes, the crowds were a little dead and there were no Club 200 activties for the boys. We gave our tickets to some friends...and then another friend called and said she had 4 seats. So, we decided to go as a family. So, after a nice dinner at Rocky's...thank you Andi and Jeff T. ...we met up with them at the game. Our seats are in the next section from 2 of the 4 seats. Jeff and Neil sat in Mrs. Fujii's seats in the upper level. It was a nice night, and we were able to see our friend Lucy, she sat next to us last season, and Eric, who just moved back from Canada, and happens to be Andi's cousin-in-law....small world, eh?
