Last week my Grandma celebrated her 60th birthday and our family came together to throw her a surprise party. It was a great time celebrating with her. Here are a few things you need to know about my grandma: she is an amazing cook. She used to own and run a cafe and kept everyone fed in our little town. If you come over to her house, she will cook up anything you want (her pancakes and 'Angel' biscuits are the best.... the list could go on and on). She gives great back- scratches:) She loves purses and usually has one big enough to carry EVERYTHING she could possibly need. She'll listen anytime you need to talk. She told me and Clayton we could have any pet we wanted at her house (but mom and dad vetoed that anyway). She's really good at Rummy and she WILL get mad if you try to cheat (I only know this because of Clayton:) She loves her kids and grandkids and she loves the Lord with all her heart. I love you, Gma!Last week we also went to a wedding for a friend of mine. Nicole and I have known each other since we were wee-little. Our parents and grandparents knew each other when they were young too, so we've always been like family. Her wedding was beautiful and we had a great time at the reception. Heres a pic of me and the beautiful bride................ Congratulations Nicole and Michael!!!
Me and my cousin Angela at the wedding...........
Jake and his cousin Kaden kept each other entertained at the reception.......
This past week was Jake's first Spring Break and he got to travel to Alabama to stay with his Pop and Bobbi by himself!! (We met them half-way and then they brought him back at the end of the week.) He had a great time! They went with some friends to the zoo, had a picnic outside and he got to play in his daddy's old treehouse in the backyard. Pop and Bobbi said he was great all week. When they drove him back, they got to stay with us for a few days so we could all hang out. We tried to take them to Reunion Tower but found out it is still under construction, so went to an area in Downtown Dallas to walk around and had dinner outside on a patio. Heres Jake riding an alligator............
He has many Transformer toys that are extremely difficult to actually 'transform', but the other day he finally sat down and did this one all by himself in no time. He was SO proud :)
Jake and Timber with their matching band-aids..........
Timber also had an exciting week...... he got his first haircut. He always sheds so bad this time of year, so we decided to shave him. Instead of paying a groomer $50-$75 for one time, we decided to buy a whole razor kit and learn to do it ourselves so we can do it again. Hehehehehehe...... wish we had this experience on video. Poor Timber looked like a mangy mutt there for a few days. But we worked out the kinks and figured out how to use the different blades and guards and learned that something with THAT MUCH FUR is gonna take a while!!! And, of course we had to give Timber a cut that went with his personality. So we gave him a mohawk...........
