Dad's Birthday

We got together to celebrate Dad's birthday at Chuy's.  It's a good Mexican Restaurant.  Chris and Summer brought Kingston.  He loved pigging out on the cheese dip and beans and rice.  He was excited when I told him Aunt Isis had a surprise in her purse.  So excited in fact, that when he opened his eyes- he didn't know where to look!  He loved his little hot wheels- and they were able to keep him occupied for a bit.  Luke and I bought Dad a cute card and gave him No bake cookies for his birthday.  Happy Birthday Dad!

Camp Tanako

Mom, Sandra, and I went to a Scrapbooking Retreat this past weekend.  The weather was perfect and cool.  This was probably my most favorite relaxing crop in a long time.  We had our own room to crop in with plenty of space.  The food was delicious, and the cabins were clean and comfy.  It was a nice getaway to get caught up on my scrapbooking.

Kingston's Sick Day

Kingston ended up having a stomach bug a few weeks ago.  Since he couldn't go to daycare, and Mom was sick- Aunt Melissa or "Isis" as he calls me wanted to keep him.  He played for 3 days with the same cars toy.  That was the best 5 dollars I've ever spent!  We ate bland- and found out he loves chicken and stars soup! I even showed him how Uncle "Gook" puts crackers in his soup.  He thought it was fun crunching the Ritz with his spoon.

  We watched a movie- Spirit.  It's a horse Disney Movie.  I forgot that I cry in all animal movies.  So, during the movie, he would come over and pat my knee and say, "It's OK Isis"  It was too cute.  I love keeping Kingston anytime!

Mom's Birthday Surprise

For Mom's birthday this year, some of the bible study ladies gathered here for a surprise road trip.  We went to A to Z in Alma.  What Mom didn't know was that Aunt JJ, Ma, Aunt Viv, and Mary Jo were all there to meet us.  Mom was shocked!  After shopping, we headed over to the BBQ Cafe to eat lunch.  We had BBQ, burgers, nachos, etc.  We celebrated Mom's birthday with a chocolate peanut butter pie.  It was so good! Well, for most of us.  Poor Berta didn't have a good day at all!!!!

Kingston's 2nd Birthday

I've been behind on blogging due to computer issues.  However, it helps to have a handyman that can fix things like that!  Kingston's party was a Thomas the Train theme.  He just loves Thomas.  Sandra Dumond made his cake- which was precious.  I worked all week long on knitting him a lion- which he loved!  He even made the lion sound when he opened it.  He loved throwing all the wrapping paper on the floor.  Mom made spaghetti with all the fixings.  It was fun to visit with Melanie and Dana too- as they were there to celebrate his special day.  Can't believe he's already 2!
