Kevin wanted pizza and Kevin got pizza. Nicole organized a nice party for Kev on Saturday afternoon. I posted a few of my favorite pictures below but if you want there's also a video of
some more. Good times.
The Tracy Family
The picture below made me laugh because there were large groups sitting at tables and then there's Kev and Colin. I think Nicole was playing hostess.
Colin and His Mom
This is a picture of Nicole's cousin Emily. We want to adopt Emily.
She was so good entertaining the kids and affording us some time to relax.
Kev and I...(we missed you Bridge!)
All it took was some cake and Lily warmed right up to Uncle Tim.
I just like this picture
So, it's a very long story but basically I made a phone call to West Herr Automotive and asked for a Steve Tasker cutout. Steve is one of the Bills' big players from their glory days and is now a spokesperson for the auto dealer. They not only gave me an autographed Steve, but also an autographed ball AND four Sabres tickets. Seriously?! If you live in Western New York and need to buy a car, please buy one from West Herr. In the meantime, a few years back when my brother was deployed a friend of mine got Jim Kelly's autograph for him. At the time Jim was with Steve Tasker. When I gave my brother the autograph his first response was, "Thank you!" The second was, "Why didn't your friend get Steve Tasker's autograph?"
I like this photo of my mom and Kevin. I have a few versions but I like this one best because it also features Nicole and Steve.
The first song in the video is an Archer family favorite
PS For some reason there have been issues with videos on blogger. They're working to remedy the problem but in the meantime I'm sorry if this is inconsistent.
