Birthdays

Over the weekend we had lots of birthdays in our family:

Grandma S.' birthday ~ although you can't see her face in this picture, I love that Chloe is smiling at her. It just shows you how much Chloe loves her!

Mimi's birthday ~ in this picture, I think Mimi was singing a song, or something, and Chloe was loving every minute of it :)


Mommom's 80th birthday was on Monday, but on Sunday we had a family get together to celebrate this momentous number!


My uncle deep fried a turkey (for those of you who have never had this, you are really missing out! It's great!). Here is the before:

Going into the fryer:

After! Look at that delicious bird!


Here are all the girls (Michelle, Laura, Mommom, Chloe, Alison, Grandma B.)

Chloe had a great time! Here she is hanging out with her Aunts:

Grandpa B. was showing her how the pinwheel works:


She was a happy girl all afternoon!


We are thankful for all these wonderful women that Chloe has in her life ~ great examples of Christian women that she can look up to as she gets older. We hope you had terrific birthdays!!!

Home Decorating

Every so often, I get the urge to re-decorate our entire house. Since that's not really a possibility, I usually just end up changing some pictures or decorations. I was inspired by this post (the blog was found on the side-bar of my cousin's blog ), I thought I'd make a 3-D wall hanging of my own: I might keep it, I might give it as a gift....not sure yet - but I like it! Our downstairs bathroom was in need of a little "perk-up" so I made two coordinating frames to lighten things up: Now this isn't really home decorating....but I'm still including it :) Chloe recently acquired some fancy 4th of July hair clips from Aunt Michelle/Grandma B. She needed the perfect dress to match those clips, so I found some fabric and made one! Check back at the beginning of July for pictures of Chloe wearing this dress! :) My need for creating might have been calmed by these projects...or maybe it's only encouraging me to do more!

As a review, here are the rules to the game (taken from Heather Deterding!): 1. Post your guess for the baby's arrival in the "comment" section. Be sure to specify both date and time of day -- either "am" or "pm". 2. Limit one guess per person, and only one entry per time slot-- no sharing! 3. Winner is determined based on time of birth. For example, if the baby is born on April 20th at 7 AM, a guess of "April 20th, AM" would be the winner. In the event that there is no entry for the correct arrival time, the next closest guess based on actual time of birth would win. 4. We will post entries on the Calendar above. Check prior entries before placing your guess! Dates not displayed on the calendar above are still up for grabs. 5. The winner will receive... bragging rights and a congratulatory post h...
