Chuck E. Cheese 8th Birthday Party for Toby's

Getting ready to eat....the pizza was actually pretty good. All parents should have their party here...you don't have to do anything. It is awesome!

Toby with his friends from left to right: Toby, Madison, Samantha, Nigera, Christopher, and Jayden.

Lighting the candles on the cupcake cake. Nothing like home cooking from Walmart!

Toby blows out the candles on his Airbender cupcake cake.

Lukas didn't want anything but a cupcake. He kept hitting the box saying, "want this!" FINALLY, he got one and all he ate was the frosting. Nothing like taking them home loaded with sugar.

Toby opens his gifts from his friends.

The last thing the host did was put Toby in the ticket tube. He loved it and had so much fun. As you can see he is laughing so hard he can hardly catch any tickets.

Toby's 1st day of 3rd grade!

Toby is ready for 3rd grade. He has Mrs. Sumwalt and he is most upset that he doesn't eat lunch until 12:20pm.

L-R: Top Row Chuckie, Mary, Herb, Kevin, Holly, Martha

Scranton/Sim's crew are getting ready to head to FL! We got some quick picture time in front of the motorhome!

Singing to Toby for his birthday!

Mom, Lukas, Holly, Brookie, Marissa, Herb, and Carson sing to Toby for his Birthday.

Marissa, Herb, Carson, Kevin, Mary, and Chuckie (Holly's cousin who came to visit from Durham, NC) all sing to Toby for his birthday. He was upset because there is only 1 candle on his cupcake.

Toby's 8th Birthday 8/14/10

Toby had a big time on his birthday with Marissa, Carson, and Brookie Sims.

Vacation pool..Lukas

Lukas loves the pool and he had a big time playing in the splash park and the pool the KOA campground had.

Going to Ripley's Aquarium...

This is the first thing you see when you walk in the aquarium. The kids ran to it and were just amazed with all the fish.

Trey and I were dying laughing with Toby's pose in front of the fish. What a ham! LOL!

Lukas loved this because it was his size. He kept trying to give the fish kisses.

This is a huge aquarium. The picture doesn't do it justice at how beautiful it really is. The kids loved it and couldn't stop checking out all the different fish.

Toby and Sydni (Sydni stayed with us after Niki and Thomas left on Wed.) pose in the tunnel aquarium. They loved the big sharks and turtles.

Lukas and Trey checking out all the fish in the tunnel! Everyone loved all the fish and we had a big time before it got to crowded.

Lukas wasn't to thrilled that Dad held him up to check out the large sword fish that was chilling on top of the tunnel aquarium. He didn't cry but he wasn't so sure being that close was a good idea.

All of us walking through the tunnel!

Mom and Lukas checking out the "Finding Nemo" aquarium. It had all the pretty fish from the movie "Finding Nemo" in it. This I think was Lukas' favorite.

Anyone know what this thing is? HUM?

Toby and Lukas playing with the crabs.

Toby got his picture taken in with the puffer fish.

Having smores on Vacation

Getting ready to roast smores. Thomas Howard (Trey's brother-in-law and Niki's husband) is helping the kids roast without losing their marshmellows in the fire. And making sure two boys (Lukas and Hayden) don't fall in the fire. Lukas and Hayden are only 10 days apart in age.

Hayden said to heck with the smores I just want the chocolate! Man after my own heart! Lukas was the same although we didn't get a picture of it. Lukas was walking around with 3/4 of the large hersey's bar in his hands trying to eat it.

Toby loves smores and I am pretty sure he had at least 4 of them to eat that night. Looks like he is wearing half of it as well! LOL!

Lukas said to heck with waiting and decides to eat marshmellows. Yes, he put the entire thing in his mouth.

Sydni Carson, caught eating the graham crackers but I'm sure she had atleast 3 smores as well. She is 9 and going into the 4th grade. She is Niki and Thomas' oldest daugther. They live in Georgetown, SC and meet us at the KOA campground to camp with us.

Niki is supervising Lukas while he plays in the fire. Good thing he wears a diaper to bed since he is playing in the fire.

Lukas at the ocean

Of course Lukas loves the water as well and wanted to follow Toby out to the bigger waves. We all had a great time in the ocean but as usual for Myrtle it was very crowded. I love this picture of Lukas. He is so very happy!

Vacation 2010

Toby loves the ocean and swimming in general. He was out playing in the waves and doing a karate chop to keep from getting dunked.

Vacation 2010 at Myrtle Beach, SC

Lukas enjoyed playing in the ocean. He was getting brave with the waves and wanting to go out farther and farther. Dad enjoyed dunking him in the water as well.
