EIGHT ONE EIGHT: Bowling Outing

EIGHT ONE EIGHT: Bowling Outing Count me in....has anyone else responded ?-Brenda

Bowling Outing

Tentatively, Sunday, May 20, 2007 is a great day for us to book since they have that day wide open. We can book a party ~4pm that will last a couple of hours. For one of those hours (probably 5:00-6:00pm) they will serve continuous pizza & pop, but for ONE HOUR only. We can do 2 games or 3 games, and then have the Karoake lounge after (they have a pretty good song list) for another two hours. Young, old, man or woman...all are invited to this family event. Friends are welcome too...All for the nominal price of $15 per person (13 years old and over). For those 12 & under, it would cost $11 per child. Let me know ASAP if this date works since there is a $100 deposit required to book this date.Click on the title to this post, "Bowling Outing" to be redirected to the bowling alley's website.

Introducing Princess Maddy

Disney has a new princess!! The Frog Princess, Maddy, is the latest in the Disney Princess line-up that includes Snow White, Belle (from Beauty & the Beast), Cinderella, Ariel (The Little Mermaid), and Sleeping Beauty...did I forget somebody? The new movie is going to be set in New Orleans. Not exactly crazy about the name "Maddy" though. This is a good thing in light of the "Black Doll/White Doll Experiment" that has been revisited from a 1940s experiment on black children's doll preferences. Overwhelmingly black children recently chose white dolls over black dolls saying among other things, the black dolls were "bad" and the white dolls were "good". http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/story?id=2553348&page=1

Jaydenn's 2nd Birthday Party

On Monday, January 15th, Jaydenn celebrated his 2nd birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese. He had lots of cousins and family to celebrate with. Jeff and Kenyatta's other sides of their families were there too. Our family members that attended included Auntie (Loretta), Diane, Brenda, Calvin, LaRon, Tim (playa, playa), Lil LaRon, Jocelyn and Vaughn. It seemed as if the adults were having more fun than the kids on some of the interactive games! Kenyatta and Jeff are proud parents. Jaydenn is getting so tall and of course is a cutie-pie. Jeff had to re-light the candles during the birthday song when Jaydenn kept blowing them out-he was ready!. He did really good when he finally blew out the candles.
