PP11 - HAPPY BIRTHDAY BOYS & MEN

Aunt Sue got out of the Party by having her appendix nearly burst - Good Excuse! Saturday was Dad's 79th Birthday, Adam's birthday was Sept 15th, Preston's 4th was Sunday 9/21 and Carey's is this week, 9/26. Also celebrating in Boise is Brodie Saunders! Our great nephew and Preston's cousin. Happy Birthday to all of you!
We had a fun little party, with Preston as the star. He had some special guest's: his biological parents were both there - Brian came in from Massachusetts to celebrate and get to know Preston and they had a great time together. Amy
also came by to say hello. He received many gifts (too many for him to really enjoy at one time) but he will enjoy for the weeks ahead!! Everyone was very generous. We were very sad that Aunt Sue was ill. We knew she had to be very sick to miss out on her darling boy's party. Mike, Melanie, Adam, and Alex happened to be in town and Roger came by too. Our family and close friends all mean so much. It was fun to be together most of all - and of course lots of yummy food and cake(s).... The rainbow came during the party just for Preston and then the sun came out. It was a beautiful day.

Aging Not So Gracefully.....

This is a joke Song sent to me. I found it hilarious and wanted to share!

Three mischievous old Grandmas were sitting on a bench outside a
nursing home when an old Grandpa walked by. And one of the old Grandmas
yelled out saying, 'We bet we can tell exactly how old you are.' The
old man said, 'There is no way you can guess it, you old fools.'
One of the old Grandmas said, 'Sure we can! Just drop your pants and
under shorts and we can tell your exact age.'
Embarrassed just a little, but anxious to prove they couldn't do it,he
dropped his drawers.
The Grandmas asked him to first turn around a couple of times and to
jump up and down several times.

Then they all piped up and said, 'You're 87 years old!'
Standing with his pants down around his ankles, the old gent asked,'How
in the world did you guess?'
Slapping their knees and grinning from ear to ear, the three old ladies
happily yelled in unison - - 'We were at your birthday party yesterday!'

This is an old picture of Preston out in the yard. He still adores being out in the yard and it is hard to believe that he is almost 4! What a trip he is...
It's very fun being neighbors with him.

Cattiness

There is a duplex behind Jayme and Carey, that is home to a dozen or more kitty cats of various size and color. (People don't live there -just cats apparently) Here is one that came to visit while Jayme was cutting back the butterfly bush. There were several others hanging but this little Siamese was so cute I had to post his/her picture.
Meow!

It Doesn't Get Much Better than This

I was going thru my pics and came across this one. It made me laugh.

Politics Smolitics - Can't we all just get along???

I'm grateful to be an American. There are a lot of things this country needs to fix, but there are so many freedoms to enjoy. A special prayer in honor of our soldiers, firemen, policemen and citizens for this September 11th.

PP10

For some reason my living room becomes the Himalayas/Caveland when Preston comes over. He is up, down, and over. We had bed cushions, bathmats, cardtables all part of the landscape. He was climbing, crawling, and flying thru the air. He was having a great time, I was wishing for his energy!!

Stuck....

Now I'm stuck. I want Barack Obama for President and Sara Palin for VP - am very sure I can't vote that way but wish I could! Gov Palin is way more impressive than Joe Biden... That's all I'll say for now. It's an exciting election!

Happy Birthday ~~~Congratulations!

Happy Birthday to my Wendy Girl. Sorry to include your old boyfriend but couldn't find my pics of you and Bob which I would've preferred. Have a happy happy day and let me know how you feel tomorrow!!! Congratulations to Jayme and Carey on your 3 happy years of wedded bliss.... need I say more???
