What a weekend

Look at all these BOYS.....poor Miranda is the only girl!

Baby shower was good yesterday. Jackie & Jeff got lots of very nice gifts. Baby Nicholas has lots of stuff already and there is still another shower to go! Afterwards Mom & I met up with the rest of the gang at Bob & Karen's house to celebrate Kyle & Pierce's brthdays. A good time was had by all. Karen was thrilled because Jim, Joe, & Ryan cut down a tree in her backyard for her. She almost had them convinced to cut the other 2 down that she wants gone as well. Dylan was there, cute as ever. I look at him and see his Daddy! Jen, Steve and thier kids were there, as was Jen's siter Kate. It was Jen who almost had me in tears saying goodbye to her----I am serious about you guys coming up for a visit!

Today we celebrated Aaron's birthday. He made out with gifts, that's for sure. Alida, Joe, and the kids gave Aaron a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles dress-up kit and a Spiderman punching balloon (which he ABSOLUTELY LOVES!) I really like this picture of Josh and Miranda. (Click on it to view it larger) And yes, Aaron did get 2 loaders. One is a remote control loader and the other is one he sits on and controls himself. I have added those pics.

I want to be sure to thank Uncle Jeff for picking out Aaron's ice cream cake and also for Mom and Dad for the pie and other food. It was a great day and I think everyone enjoyed themselves. I think it was our last family get together prior to our famly moving north. I am a bit upset that I won't get to get together with everyone else prior to us moving, but time is just not available for that. I guess everyone will just have to come north to see us and visit beautiful Paradise!

More updates to come............
