Jamboree Theme Finalists

People 9 months and counting!! Can you believe it? Don't forget to cast you vote A.S.A.P. or you might end up dressed like a Mexican Wrestler by default...and the finalist are....

Mexican Wrestlers and Bellas

Paseo (I think this is translated into the formal procession during a Spanish Bull Fight)

Pirates that just show up and eat

Must wear flattering clothes all the time

Big Reveal

Tummy Name for #3 - Umut (Turkish) Hope.

Shout out to Coco for all the research and creativity! Where would we be without you? Somewhere way less interesting for sure.

Jamboree '10 Theme

Folks - It's time to pick a theme for Jamboree '10. We are just about 8 months out and the planning is kicking into full gear or high swing...whatever.

Over the next 15 days the blog will be open for you to post your best and brightest ideas. If no one posts than I will have total control over the theme and all matching outfits (really it is in your best interest to post other ideas).

So - here is my best and brightest... Mexican Wrestlers and Mujeres Bellas

I can't wait to see Brian, Jason, Coco and AJ in wrestling outfits!!! It will make for some AWESOME family pics not to mention Christmas cards :)

I also think the women will look quite lovely in coordinating shirts like the one above...we will not have to wear wigs, but you can if you want to.

We can make or buy cute things like this Obama loving one above to remember the Jamboree by! Or below are some really great alternatives -

The food will natural match the theme and I think everyone will be happy in the food department!

The monkeys are adjusting to the new environment quite well. They pretty much have the run of the place, but help keep things clean too. They like cheese crackers and grapes or oranges for snack time...I know what your thinking, and monkeys don't like banana's all the time!

Beer with Breakfast

We had to go to Walmart early this morning to get eggs for breakfast. Manny insisted that we get some rootbeer to quaff with breakfast. So we had Beer(even if it was the root kind) with our breakfast this morning.

Maurice enters the picture and exits stage left....

After Coco and Andrew visited California, we picked up a hitchhiker in Modesto who said he needed a place to stay for a little while....He said that life in the farm country of Northern California was a little too slow for him.

Well, Maurice was a little too annoying on the ride, if you ask me. He sings tavern songs. or song. You can really only tolerate 99 bottles of root beer on the wall so many times. after 10 straight hours i was thankful that he fell asleep.

Things didn't get much better once we got to the house. It was time for a garage sale, and he was buying everything the neighbors put out. the Garage is full of junk and where is Maurice??? On his way to Ireland to learn new tavern songs....Good Grief!

OBTW Root beer and banana farts are gross.
