David turns 20!

It finally happened....David is no longer a teenager.  We celebrated with his favorite dinner - Tacos.  Grandma made a chocolate on chocolate cake.  What could be more perfect???  Well, the Osmond's could've been here and then it would have been true perfection.  It was still fun to hang out with this wonderful, young man.  He manages to make us all feel included and loved when we're with him.  And how we love that laugh of his!  Thanks for being you, David.  We think you're awesome!  Happy Twentieth!  We love ya!!!!!

                                                      

Birthdays, Beans, and Banana Splits

Well, I've managed to have another birthday, whether I wanted it or not!  However, it was a fabulous day that started with my opening a cool, new camera from my dear hubby.  Thanks Dave!  Gayle and Steve were staying with us for a few days so we managed to get in a lunch out, meeting Kim, Whitney, Mandy & Lucy for some yummy soup, sandwiches and salads.  A day later we celebrated with my wonderful in-laws by consuming Dad's famous homemade beans and cornbread at the Buntjer's.  I ate myself almost into a coma.  We finished it off with Mandy's banana splits.  It really was a great birthday and I was spoiled beyond all reason by friends and family who showered me with gifts and well wishes.  I guess being 51 isn't so bad afterall?  With love and fun like this, I can't wait to turn 52.
