Moustache party for Bobby's 30th

all with our party moustaches





















Our sweet Bobby just turned 30 and his party was at our house over the weekend.  Jimmy and Nina planned it all and it was a very fun afternoon.  In case you did not notice from the pictures,  it had a moustache theme.   All the guests who did not have real moustaches wore fake ones -Gavin thought this part was really funny. 
There would be more pictures but I did not check my camera and its battery was dead at party time so these are a few taken with a camera phone.

I go back to the dentist tomorrow. What I thought was a big problem is not much of a problem to fix and I am very thankful for that.

send out the welcome wagon...

My friend Carol just  started a new blog and her first post is a recipe that I look forward to trying. 
Provision and Grace
I hope you all will drop by and welcome her back. 

It's a busy week with my parents here for a visit and Bobby's 30th birthday party coming up.
I've been slowed down by some dental problems but I have appt. with a new dentist first thing tomorrow morning.  I am having faith that no matter what they do to me or tell me,  I will be feeling better afterward than I do right now.

welcome Carol!

oh yea?

just a short and sweet post with a funny picture for you all. 

This is granddaugther Elizabeth with her little friend Brooks

The photography is by Emily,  her blog is Faith Hope and Love.  I think she does a great job with her photos and the captions are pretty funny too. 

He passed!

starting Law School-August 2007

The bar exam results came out today and Jimmy passed!
Swearing in comes later this month. 
Jimmy went to a great law school, made good grades, studied alot, took the bar prep course and works for an attorney.  Even still, we have all been on pins and needles and are thrilled the wait to find out is over. 

We are very very proud and Jimmy is so relieved, he was almost speechless.

Pooh Chair re-done





Remember the Pooh foam chair in my previous post?  I worked on it over the weekend and it is recovered,  I won't win any prizes for my upholstery skills  but the chair is clean now and matches the living room.  Elizabeth approves of the final result and that is all that matters. 

Gavin has not yet seen it finished.  He saw it when I was working on it and kept saying "chair chair chair"   He is in a phase where he repeats himself a lot.  I am pretty sure he will like the redone chair too. 

not too bad for a $4 thrift store find and fabric from my closet. 

 the cute baby kind of  increases the chair's cuteness

just because she is so cute too
