Just like Daddy & Grandpa!

"Okay, Malcolm. You have to start drinking this stuff. Our grandpa & daddies drink it all the time, so it must be good. I know where grandpa hides his stash, so I can hook you up anytime!" 

Go to the park!

I got to play at the park this morning with our three oldest grandkids. "Get in, Grandma, we're goin to the zoo & McDondalds" (not a typo)
Noah, are you having fun?
How about you, Sabrina?
You too, Olivia? 

Our grandkids doing what they love to do... climbing,
running,
and pretending! "May I take your order?"
Hacktime! (one & two year olds have trouble with s's) 

Here come Mommy & Malcolm.....
.......with lunch!
Malcolm is VERY happy to be at the park
"Yeah, I get to swing, too. I'm SO big" (and SO cute!) 

Family birthday party

Yesterday at family night (which is a weekly event at our home) we celebrated Rick's 54th birthday. Cindi made him a "tool-time" cake. Now, she probably won't like that I blogged a picture of it because it wasn't as elaborate as she usually creates (oh my goodness, her decorating skills are AMAZING) but it was most appropriate, because......................
oh, what could it be..........
ANOTHER TOOL!!!! Rick DOES LOVE tools, and he is getting quite a collection. Happily, he has put them all to good use, and we have alot of evidence of his woodworking skill around our homes. Here's to my handsome, hardworking, handyman husband. Happy birthday. I love you. 

Happy Birthday, Rick!

So, let's try this again. I'm trying to do a birthday blog for Rick, but half of what I blogged before Survivor (cause you KNOW I had to break for that) didn't show up. ps I'm a novice blogger Out to Mission Springs for some birthday dinner - yummy food, etc :)
Our blurry dinner companions (at least they're smiling) If you don't recognize them, meet my sis & bro/law Viv & Ron
Viv's "hot off the press" (literally) hair cut hubba hubba... you look MAHVELOUS. I love you!
Hey birthday boy, which one will it be? (beverage sampler) 

More Pix

A random shot of our table (cause we were having problems with the camera) but a cool picture nevertheless PLEASE, no more pictures!!!!
Complimentary birthday cake, how nice!
Or not! This cake SHOULD come with a large beverage (read-DRY)

Spiders have been busy

 

Wee Whalers

Sabrina & Olivia noticed a whale in the backyard today, and it had captured someone!
OH NO! It was Mommy!!! (she was very distraught, as you can see)
Sabrina was tentative, but Olivia got right in there and bit that whale on the snout. Nobody messes with HER mommy!
Finally, dinosaur Sabrina stomped in and finished the job...Mommy is free and uninjured. Whew! 

Labour Day!

So, Cindi & I got in a bit of a jam today! HAH!!!
