Blessings & Birthdays

This is my little niece Dani, and she was blessed yesterday. I think she is looking a little tipsy in this picture and I am not sure what her mommy is feeding her. She is such a sweetheart. I am so grateful I was able to be with her at her very first party. There were a lot of friends and family that gathered together yesterday, but our good friend Python Joe decided to grace us with her presence. I am sorry, but does this really belong at a baby blessing?As you can see, the kids love her. She really is a beautiful snake, but I just can't like them. They had it right next to my face when I was taking a picture, and I screamed so loud. I am surprised she didn't reach out and bite me. This is my little brother Nate giving Miss Joe some loves. Doesn't that just make you want to vomit? I can't even look at it!!! (But of course I had to make sure I got a picture of it). It really was a beautiful day, and we are so lucky to have Dani in our family!!!

Now this brings us to today. Today is June 2, and 7 years ago at 2 am I gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. This baby girl now looks like she is 13 some days. Check her out. Isn't she gorgeous? This was in the car getting ready to head out for her birthday party.
We have had a pretty darn good day. Her favorite place to eat is Sizzler. Not sure why, but hey I am here to please today. I got my mom to go with me...so it was me and ma, and six little munchkins. This is the group at Sizzler.Back Row: Tambi, and Mikey Front Row: Sophi, E, Sam, and Keri

This is just Sophi and Sam enjoying their meal. I wish they could see each othe more than they do. These two girls think the world of each other.Next we did a little miniature golfing at Trafalga. They just redid the indoor golf course. It is a beautiful day of 80 degrees and they decided to golf inside because it was all dark and everything was glowing. But get this, the heater was on inside. Come on, did they want to make sure we were sweating whether we were inside or out? The kids did have a ton of fun. I just wish I was blessed with a little bit of patience.

This is the crew outside of Trafalga. A great day for Sammy!!! Happy Birthday Beautiful Girl!!!

Sammy, Sammy, Sammy.....Did you have a good time? You must have worked Grandma to death because all she wants to do is sleep. I wish I could have been with you to wish you a HAPPY BIRTHDAY! However we did give you your present on Sunday. Have a fun time spending it on what ever you want to spend it on. Then again it would be fun to have some money to spend on our vacation.

Love ya my dear,

Grandpa
