March celebrations

We celebrate lots of family birthdays in March...here are a few celebrations:

Chloe celebrated her 3rd birthday with a trip to the outlet to ride the "round and round" as she calls the Merry Go round. She loves all the kiddie rides and her Mom had been collecting quarters so she could ride and ride. Her cousin Logan came down to party with her. I rented the fun bus stroller for her birthday outlet adventure:)

Next, Jared had his birthday. He picked his birthday dinner and cake. Kristen made him a Chocolate cake with homemade butter cream icing. Chloe loved helping everyone blow out candles!

Friday came Jerry's birthday time. I took off work to go out to lunch with him. We really did go "Out" for lunch. He chose a little BBQ hut on main street near the beach. It was a perfect day, the weather was beautiful and the BBQ sandwiches were really good. (Jerry is so in his element at places like this! I think it brings back his Handy Pak days.)

Chloe was glad they had some good French Fries, one of her favorite foods.

I surprised Jerry and made one of his favorite cakes...a pig picking cake. (That went right along with his "redneck lunch"). It was so good. By Sunday it was all gone!

Jared lite the candles and as you see Chloe is just waiting to help blow them out!

All of this celebrating in March reminds me that Spring has arrived and that means Spring Break is right around the corner. Bring on the sunshine and time off from work with family!

February Milestones

Beth and I both had milestone birthdays.

She turned 30. Her Brownie Birthday cake with 30 candles!

For my birthday I got off work early, had lunch with Jerry and then we met David after he got off school and had Cold Stone ice cream treats! I moved right on in to join Jerry, his siblings and some of mine in the "Half Century Club"! I said if the next 50 years were as good as the first 50 it would be just fine :)

I decided at 50 I should be smart enough to take the plunge into the smart phone world! What an adventure.... I had a few old razor phone withdrawals at first and was not sure I was ready for this new phone but I am settling right into this modern technology. Oh, how I love FaceTime! SO cool. I love being able to see my children and grands and family by just pushing a button. I want everyone in my family to have one now! Pretty neat to have a little phone that can do so much.
