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?

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!!

Thanksgiving Turkey

My brother-in-law raises turkeys, and we had one on Thanksgiving this year! It was a 31 pound turkey and took up a lot of space in my refrigerator for a few days before the holiday. I started the cooking process early so it was done by lunchtime.  Here is the turkey, barely fitting into my oven!  "the farmer and the chef" :)

Crazy May

 As is typical with three active kids, we've had a busy last few weeks! Photos coming soon of the dance recital, Peter's birthday party, school activities and more :)  Here is our May started: No power for 5 days! A wind-storm went through our area and several power lines were knocked over. We did have school for 3 days. The weather was perfectly sunny and 70 degrees, so it wasn't too bad :)

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!
