Ella's Birthday Party - May 2nd
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Ella's Birthday cake - a planter of pansies!
Mom made a ton of these little pansies and dried them to put on the top of the cake. Check out the worms and the ladybug (to the right of the candles).
Beth's Birthday Party Weekend - May 8 - 10
Yep, my sister had a whole weekend dedicated to her and she loved every minute of it. I took a half day on Friday and drove to Altoona to surprise her with Mom and Dad at the train station. Mom accidentally spilled the beans earlier that day, but it was still a surprise.
Happy Day of your party Sister! Time to rise and shine :)
The Queen with her tiara, necklace and button. (Oh, and the mami dress)
Beth's Birthday cake - a List! (because we all know she makes lists of her lists)
Beth's 2nd Birthday cake - a knitting basket! How cool is that? And how cool is it that Mom made these - she is quite talented in the baking and decorating area!
Mom is also quite talented in her crocheting - she made Aunt Bon a walrus!
For my final surprise, I hid 2 cans of silly string in the mailbox. I talked Mom and Aunt Bon into spraying her down with it because she won't kill them :) It was so much fun!
The Queen is covered! Check out Mom and Aunt Bon in the background... they went over to the neighbor's to cover the girls too!
Mom is so happy - she got to cover kids in silly string!
Happy 40th Sis!
Norwin Car Show - Memorial Day Weekend, May 23rd.
The organizers of the show had quite a show for Memorial Day Weekend. There was a dance contest held on a "stage", a bunch of food vendors, and they showed Grease around 9pm in the parking lot. More cars and trucks showed up than they, or I, expected as they ran out of room in the area of the parking lot they roped off. They even had police directing traffic from the road and workers directing traffic in the parking lot. It was a great!
Over the winter, Jeremy installed an LED light kit in addition to the lights he already had on the truck. My camera did not do it justice at all. He has lights in the interior but I couldn't get a picture to turn out.
A Baby Shower for Jess! - Saturday, June 6
Doesn't she look good? Baby Rocco will be coming into the world sometime around July 19th. We had a really good time at the shower - plenty of good food, good games and time spent with good friends.
This is a photo of 1 of the centerpieces - how cute!
As part of her gift, Mom crocheted a beautiful green and white baby blanket. I was sure that Jess would have received some handmade blankets, hats, etc but she didn't. Jess seemed to really love the blanket. There may be more handmade goodies on on their way but need to keep that a surprise because I think you-know-who reads my blog sometimes.
