The "Big" Birthday Party

June 19th Leanna Rose turned nine years old. It is so hard to believe that 9 years have come and gone for us waiting at Sacred Heart Hospital for her arrival. Here she is enjoying her new bike from us. We also, got her a helmet because it is the law. Plus, we got her some other presents that will surprise her.



June 27th is Justin's sixth birthday. He is growing up so fast with learning from his older sister. He is going to be so surprised by all his presents, especially his new Big Wheel. Shhh that is a surprise! It is red & white Radio Flyer big wheel. His daddy will have to put it together after the party is over, Yippee, for him. Thank goodness for daddy.

Cooking Making at Steph's House

What a nice caption for all the cookies that were being made.


Jacob was enjoying painting his cookies. Jacob's cookies are all his because of his allergies. I bet he was so happy he didn't have to share his.


Leanna was enjoying cutting the cookies out. Leanna is a Big help to mommy.


Justin and Timmy were enjoying rolling out the cookie dough. Justin you better look out for that rolling pin. Timmy looks like he means business.


Justin was enjoying making the icing for the cookies. What pretty colors they made.


Here is what the finished product looked like. Yum Yum!

Happy Halloween!

Doesn't my grandchildren look so nice for their Trick-or-Treat night? Stephanie, their mother, made the costumes, except the Winnie the Pooh, and I'm not sure about the Pirate one either, but I'm sure she will tell me, when she sees my posting. I just love Justin in his Skeleton costume, especially his mask, so original. She has a lot of talent and imagination when it comes to making costumes and making birthday cakes.

On my sidebar is her Blog please look at it and see the Pirate Ship she made Timothy a few weeks ago for his 4th birthday. It was so cute and it was very delish with it being homemade, because of Jacob's allergies. I think it was her best tasting cake, ever!

I believe Leanna is Laura Ingalls from Little House on the Prairie. She was voted most funniest costume at her Brownie Troops Halloween Party, but I think it is adorable. She looks like a blonde Laura Ingalls.

CORRECTION: MY DAUGHTER-IN-LAW, STEPH, DID MAKE THE WINNIE THE POOH COSTUME. I WANT TO MAKE SURE SHE GETS THE CREDIT FOR IT, BECAUSE NOWADAYS, SHE HAS NO TIME FOR NOTHING, BETWEEN HOME-SCHOOLING AND RAISING FOUR BEAUTIFUL KIDS, WHILE MY SON WORKS TO PROVIDE FOR HIS FAMILY, SHE IS EXTREMELY BUSY.

Justin and his dinosaur presents

Justin was thrilled when he got dinosaurs for his birthday. He got a puppet one, he got one he can stuff himself, he got dinosaur books. He was a very happy camper.
