60 Years Old....

 

I am now 60 years old.  Wow I'm getting old. My celebration started on Saturday with my daughters Krin and Megan and my daughter-in-law Tara taking me shopping at the mall.  They bought me a skirt, sweater and some earrings.It was a lot of fun and while shopping I learned that Cory and Tara had gotten invited to the Jazz game that night and so I was concerned time wise if Tara needed to go.  But then Krin said she had gotten a new chair for her family room and so we all drove over there (we were in two different vehicles). No cars were parked around there but when I walked into their house, SURPRISE rang out from all the grandchildren.  I was SURPRISED (they got me) I didn't suspect anything.

 

Before I went to the mall

 

                         My beautiful birthday cake that Tara made for me

                            All the decorations....

                                          Meg, me, Tara, Krin

     Tara actually brought 60 candles but the cake would have been covered in melted wax so we went with the ones Krin and gotten.  They say 60. I made a wish and blew them out.

                                          

  












  Cory and Tara had to leave to get to the game and we all stayed and played games.  I love my family.  AJ also surprised me that evening with a new wedding ring.  Oh, it is so beautiful I love it and will post a pic later. 

On Monday my actual birthday AJ and I went and took my ring to get sized and then went to Cheesecake Factory.  When we got home their was a Happy 60th Birthday sign on the garage door and my family were waiting downstairs for us. So more fun.

                                    My kids    

                                            My wonderful husband.

                          Myla and me singing Ring Around the Rosie.

                       My rambunctious grandkids....Love them dearly

                        Thank you to all of my family. You're the best.

  Then at the end of the month we celebrated his birthday again with our family at Megan's home.

 And we had to visit the witches at Gardner Village. We went with Cory and Tara one Saturday.

 and then I went again with Krin, Megan and their kids.

 and then our HALLOWEEN PARTY hosted by Cory and Tara this year...

September Birthday

Elsie turned 5 on Sept. 4th.  She just missed the cut off for attending kindergarten so she has one more year of preschool.  She is enjoying playing soccer and loves swimming. She asked me to make pumpkin squares for her family birthday celebration.  We love pumpkin squares.

 

August Birthday

 

Cory is our only August Birthday we celebrated with Texas Sheet Cake on a warm Sunday evening.

 

 

Snow Cones

At the beginning of summer my friend suggested to me that we should get a snow cone machine. AJ said no....but I got one anyway and the grandkids love it.  As you can see, however, eating snow cones is messy.  They seem to enjoy red and blue flavors ending up with red and blue tongues.
