A look at my current world - or why I have been AWOL from blogging

One day this week 

 learning to style hair like our Uncle

Watch Uncle Jimmy closely

 You get a little dab of hair stuff and you rub it in your hands....

 then you rub it on your head

 and rub some more and try to get even more hair stuff

 well.......

 Gavin's hair looks good but

 Elizabeth is looking a little fluffy.  

She is smiling so much, she must like it that way 

Uncle Jimmy went to Colorado for a wedding.  

He got back today and came over to see us and bring us some cool Colorado t-shirts.  

Elizabeth's shirt  is from Purgatory CO and Gavin's has horses.  

One day last week 

Elizabeth went to baby school in the morning.

Gavin and I did a few errands and then played on the ChicFilA play area

until it was time to pick up Elizabeth.

When we got back to our house, Gavin was so excited to see Grandpa's truck in the garage.

 Jeff took off from work early and was already home when we got there.

Gavin and Elizabeth ate lots of lunch,  

see that plate of strawberry tops?

It was full of big strawberries before Gavin and Elizabeth ate them all!

 Gavin is singing the "happy happy joy joy" song for us. 
We think the whole song is "I've got the joy, joy, joy down in my heart"

 Great Uncle Bert came by this day at lunch time.
He was going to Tulsa for a symposium at the law school there. 

 John came by for lunch too, and to pick up some pants he needed hemmed for tonight footballs game. 

 And Amanda came by at lunch too.
She did not eat but Gavin and Elizabeth thought she needed some chips and brought her some anyway. 

Gavin and Elizabeth have both had runny noses this week.
Elizabeth is helping Gavin with his.
Grandma thinks Elizabeth is just trying to use all the tissues
so there won't be any left  when  Elizabeth's nose needs wiping.  

Tired Gavin and Elizabeth, they ran out of energy!  so tired they just collapsed in the floor.  

They both had enough energy left to fuss about nap time though.  And that was the recap of that day up till about 130 when the toddlers took their naps.  




and if you got this far,  I did finish 2 sewing projects that are more interesting than the son in laws pants hemmed.   I will post them soon.  

My Parents 60th anniversary

 My parents have been married for 60 years this month so of course we had a party.

My brother and children did most all of the planning and hosting and they did a very good job coming up with a party that was perfect for my parents and the occasion.   

Nina baked the cake.  She decorated it with important symbols from my parents life.  

She also made a jar full of yummy lemon curd to serve with the cake. 

 The party was held at a very nice Italian restaurant in our town. 

 Jimmy worked there for 10 years so the restaurant went all out with the best food and nicest room. 

Nina and Jimmy did the decorations.  

They used lots of pictures of my parents.  

The smaller pictures are in Kerr jars because my parent's last name is Kerr.  

 Nina and Uncle Jimmy waiting for the party to begin.  

 from one end of the table - 

the pretty lady in blue that is giving her order to Jessica,  is my Aunt Betty.  

Her picture is also in photo header on this blog.  

 Elizabeth and Gavin enjoying their drinks with straws.  

Gavin was very happy when Pa and Roro cut the cake.  

He loves cake and thinks his Aunt Nina makes the best cakes in the world.  

this picture shows more of the room.  

Jimmy's longtime friend and coworker, Jessica, was our server and she did a great job of making the dinner so nice.
