On Saturday August 25th, we had a pre/post birthday celebration for the August birthday people. Post for Dee as her b-day was the 22 and pre for Nathan as her b-day is today. We celebrated by going out for dinner at Milestones. Dee and I had the Kobe beef meatloaf and it was SUPER yummy! We then hit the liquor store and bought tones of booze (ginger ale for me). Here are some pictures from that night...

Chris and Dee at Milestones. They both enjoyed a fishbowl of bellini as well! I don't blame them. It's some good stuff.


Let the drinking begin. Back at the hotel, we started to fill the sink with ice and liquor. Lots of liquor.


And with it being Nathan's champagne birthday, we had to get him a bottle of champagne!


Dee got a hold of the champagne :o)


On an unrelated note, we've been doing some renovations to the "House of Potter". We had a rickity carport that was on it's last lets and VERY unstable. So with baby bean on his way, we thought it would safe and smart to take down the carport. We have been avoiding parking our cars under there cause it was so unstable and paranoid that it will crash on our cars. Here are some pictures of the destruction.

Here's Nathan with his dust mask on and preparing his saw to take down the carport.


At the top right of the picture, you can see Nathan ontop of the carport. I tell ya, it take some major guts to climb up there, sit on the rotten wood and start sawing at the unstable structure. Though, as you can see, he and his dad were smart and put up 2x2 wood braces to ensure the structure would be stable enough.

And with a bang, the roof fell down! Scary to see and hear! The entire structure is now down and I have to say, that part of our property looks so emtpy and bare! I'll have to take a picture of it and post it for you all to see.
