Celebrations, arrivals, and more...

Birthdays! July holds 2 for us. First was Parker's on the 8th. Grammie and Papa sent a card with a check and it took me a while to figure out just what to pick out for him this year. But I finally came up with a great idea and boy was he excited to see these items. A new sleeping bag! and his very first Fishing Pole! Wow! Just a little ripple of excitement ran through the house with the unveiling of these two items.
Bonnie and the girls arrived and then it was time to play dress-up! Yeah!


Kristina's "Sweet 16" birthday on the 16th! She and Bonnie decided to make her cake, this of course didn't surprise any of us, knowing what bakers they both are. White chocolate dipped vanilla wafers with white chocolate shavings over the buttercream frosting sprinkled with pink sprinkles that covered a carrot spiced double layer cake. Sweet enough even for all the kids.



Kristina's birthday dinner consisted of brats, salad and chips.

The wedding ended up occuring on the 13th instead of the 16th since they couldn't find a judge who would perform the ceremony on Friday. So we had to wait until Saturday to celebrate Ivan and Kaitlyn's wedding since they had school to attend to and David was out of town. We decided to celebrate here at home.


















Remember having to line up for the ice cream man?
