Recent Birthday #2

We sang Happy Birthday to Ethan, Thad, and Bryan, however Bryan declined any candles to represent his age.  I wonder why???

Recent Birthday

Thad was celebrating his first birthday but not with cake.  He had a blueberry crumble made by big brother Gavin.  Thad looooovvvvveeeessss blueberries as does his daddy Bryan.  We actually celebrated three birthdays all at once.  Bryan's was August 26, Thad's August 31, and Ethan September 1.  I have a video I hope to post that has Ethan in it.

I have given all my grandsons their first haircut and I was invited to give Thad his first haircut on the celebration of his first birthday.  He did very well.  Mama gave him fresh blueberries to eat to keep him busy while Grandma did the haircut. :-)

He was a cuddle bug here.  He has a sober look much of the time but he does know how to smile.

Birthday for Stonewall

This is a picture of the vehicles to be made from this lego-like kit.  A Carz cap and a Carz shirt inside a Carz drawstring bag that I made.  This was our gift to Stonewall.

What Kerry is laughing about is-when Stonewall opened the gift of lego like army vehicles to make, Sam said "Stonewall I am going to have to help you with those!"

We all just laughed.

Lovely clouds in the east at Sunset with bright moon shining in daylight

I took this outdoors.  But I took another indoors first.  I was positioned looking out the kitchen window at an angle and I got a cool and very mind boggling reflection from the living room lamps in the photo.  Check this out.

This is the Parker Family +1

(plus 1 was Erik visiting and working for the summer)

This was on the last day of our visit in July this year.  Notice all are shoeless.  Poor things. :-)

These folks showed us hospitality plus, good Christian fellowship and just an all round good time.  We stayed for about 5 days.  We went to an air show, Farmer's Market, celebrated the Fourth of July, had homemade ice cream and old fashioned baked beans, not necessarily in that order.

We love you Parkers!
