Joey’s 6th Birthday
Joey turned 6 years old on August 13th. I can’t believe this cute little boy is another year older… he’s getting so big! We celebrated with a pool party on a warm summer day and the kids loved it. Here is the water logged birthday boy.
His brother Alex is the other water logged little boy.
Jessica made this great Darth Vader ice cream cookie cake. It had layers of big cookies and ice cream and decorated so cute.
Although it didn’t look so good after cutting into it, it was sooooooooo yummy!! She didn’t anticipate the frozen cookies being so hard to cut, hence the mess. We all had a good laugh over it as we ate this wonderful cake. I guess Jessica will have to go back to the drawing board and re-think this before she makes another one.
Alex didn’t mind the mess, he loved the cake. Check out the drip of ice cream below his left knee… LOL
It’s always so exciting to open presents!!
Jessica’s Is So Talented!!
These are just a few of the cakes and cupcakes that Jessica has created and everything is edible. She is beyond talented!!
No, these are NOT real Lego’s even though they look real… everything is edible!
Quick Trip to Arizona
The weekend of August 22nd I went to Arizona to attend a funeral. My best friend from high school is Paula and her sister Kathie passed away after a long battle with cancer, Kathie was only 54. Kathie was so loved by everyone and she wanted her family and friends to have a “Celebration Of Her Life”, so that’s what we did. After the service we went to her Mother’s house and celebrated her life with dancing, singing, swimming, eating lots of great food, talking, and of course a toast to Kathie. It was a beautiful day all the way around and I was honored to share the day with her family. Paula is the oldest of 9 children so the family is HUGE to say the least. It was wonderful to reminisce with Paula’s siblings, her kids, and her Mother Barbara. When we were in high school I use to babysit Paula’s younger siblings… LOL. I completely surprised everyone by just showing up, as I didn’t tell anyone that I was going. It was a very special reunion.
Barbara and Paula
These are Paula’s kids which I also used to babysit when they were little. Whenever I visit Paula in Oregon, I always hope to see her kids & grandkids during my trip…. such a beautiful family.
Although it was a very quick trip, I wanted to see my daughter and grandkids. Fortunately they didn’t have any plans and I was able to have a short but very nice visit with them. Matthew works all the time so my time with him was limited. But Friday night we were able to go through old photos and tell silly stories from years ago. We all had a good laugh at ourselves and the family.
Lauren and her friend did the “Ice Bucket” challenge which was going on at that time. They were brave and made the commitment… good for you girls!!
Catta Bella Tournament
I participated in the Ladies Catta Bella Golf Tournament September 4-6, 2014. It was another fun year because our team is so much fun… these ladies are awesome. Unfortunately I played horrible and was not able to contribute to the team, but I still had fun. This is my partner Susan… the brave woman who keeps inviting me back every year 
Tracey, Debbie, Kathy, Susan
