Good Time had by Owl...

I hosted (with a lot of help!) a baby shower here at my nest for my cousin Erin this past Saturday.  It was a Hoot.

Also, the theme was owls. In case you weren't catching my bird references :)


Aunt Laura, Uncle Bill, and Connor stayed with us and I want to be selfish and say:  "You should stay with us every time." :)


How cute is this cake that my mom brought?

The-one-and-truly-only-Aunt Michelle giving directions about an activity:

Friends!

Girls like to eat!

This is the lovely Mom to Be :)  And that's Baby Clara in her belly :)

Hard at work on a nursery rhyme game.....

While Aunt Nancy was cheating by asking a three-year-old :)

Gifts!

Erin looking through some photos of when she was a baby!


My immediate family hung around after the shower was over to have a birthday dinner for my grandma.  She played a few games (this is Chutes and Ladders)

And we sang Happy Birthday (with a few harmony parts!) 

It was a fun weekend!!

Spring has sprung?

This week has brought some strange weather! On Saturday, it was freezing while we watched Peter's baseball game - it was the "late night, under the lights" 8:00 pm game. and my toes were numb when the game was over. Then, Sunday was beautiful weather to watch soccer! April scored TWO goals in her game! We had a silent-auction at a church lunch on Sunday to raise money for the Youth Group Missions Trip. Peter bid on a cooler full of interesting flavored soda-pop....and he won! The first one he tried? Pickle Pop.  For a few years, our neighborhood has been the area of choice for a few mallard ducks to nest. The momma duck picked my neighbors' driveway this year...it seems like Spring must be coming if there are eggs!

Camping Trips #2 and #3

At the beginning of August, we went on a camping trip with my immediate family. We had great campsites, right next to each other, and had fabulous weather. Chloe had a great time hanging out with her Aunt Laura, Uncle Bill, and Aunt Michelle: She also loved my dad's cell phone ringtone: Who says you can't eat great food while you're camping? Check out our dinner feast on Saturday night....Corn on the cob, cheeseburgers, grilled pineapple: Chloe had her first taste of the "beach" when we went to the lake one day. It was the first time she was in the sand, and I think she really liked it! When looking back at the camping pictures, I realized that Chloe wore a lot of hats on this trip: We got back from a Cousins Camping Trip on Sunday night. (Almost) All my cousins got together for the weekend and we had a great time. Another camping trip with good campsites and this time we just had okay weather. It rained Saturday night so everything was a bit soggy on Sunday ...
