A Chilly 40th Birthday


Happy Mother's Day!  I hope that you are enjoying a glorious day.  I've been asked by several people to share the pictures from my sister's 40th birthday party hosted by me, my mom, and my sister Wendi.  Well here ya go.  We had a wonderful time celebrating her birthday with friends and family.  It was a chilly one, but lots of fun, nonetheless!  Here's Shelby and baby Justin chewing on his glo gun.  Those things are really neat!!


The big "40" sign, and the front of Mom and Dad's house below.

Smile Gracee!!
My mom.


Trevor being silly and Uncle Kev seeming unamused.
Sister Wendi and Madisyn.  Awwww.
Al and the crew around the campfire.  The warmest place around!!
The view of the decks.  It's so pretty here!!
Tanner's in the middle of a big story.  Whatcha gonna do with that glo gun, Sheriff?
I think I've seen pictures like this on Pioneer Woman's blog.  Running the length of the hay bales really is what country kids do for fun.

The big kids, too!!
Blowing out the candles.  Her daughter made the cake.  Kyleigh's our culinary genius!!
Sure is good cake!!
Sisters three.

Thanks for stopping by today.  I hope you enjoy the pictures, and again, Happy Mother's Day to all you special moms and every woman who touches so many lives in wonderful ways!
God bless you today and always.

Love ya,
