13 years to 50.

My uncle always points out how many years I have until I'm 50. I remember when it was 20. Now I'm down to 13. Let's make 'em fun! Irene and Jim set us up with a fun little get together, as you can tell the kids love her!


Here is a picture of my favorite birthday present, little guy Connor. Here he is all smiley in his blanket Grammie T made:

Bri took me out on Ground Hogs day for an adult fun dinner. Our bud Nik watched all the kids and we went out for beer and wings. Num
Then Brian got me this super special lemon log cake. Gosh, how can he always pick the dessert I'm in the mood for. (not) Kids liked it and it was an easy target for the candles. Once again, note Maggie picking for a prize. And Keegan holding his ball that he won't put down.

A visit from the Uncle Down Under

These 2 are the newest additions to our family:

Uncle Dave, who in April married Molly, and then Connor, the new kid. Dave and Molly were kind enough to give up a weekend to visit. And while doing so had an awful travel experience with bumped flights and bad weather and we're worried they won't come back.



Here they are with the whole gang. They brought out coolio outfits for the kids, and 2 mini fuzzy bugs which became the "must have" toy of the weekend in our house. Thanks guys for making the effort to come see us! Next up is when we bring the entire circus to your poor house!
