Gary'sBirthday

We had so much fun at party our family threw for him, here are the pictures, they explain it all!

My husband is amazing and a great dad for Chloe, we are so blessed to have him and celebrate his 30th Birthday!




The cake was so fun to make, yes that is curling ribbon on the cake, it turned out really cute, you can't tell but I put sprinkles on the side of the cake, a big mess later with sprinkles all over every were I was happy with it, I used 4 cake mixes, and 7 cups of frosting for the cake which is about right for the 10 inch cake and the 5x7 oval cake on top. want a Hawkeye topper for your cake? Hy-Vee has them, they can order them from Bakery Crafts although they need like a month notice, I had to order mine like the first of August, and it was still to late, so we had it shiped from an Iowa City Hy-Vee, luckily we got it for the big party
We had a lot of other food, but you can see how big this cake is! my best decorated cake so far I think!

We love you Gary and I am so happy we can celebrate your milestones!

Weddings are always so much fun to attend. Chloe loves to dance, she loves twirling and twisting and bouncing during the reception.


Chloe gives out kisses to any one she is close to, so these days we have been getting a lot of kisses, Daddy is so lucky!
this is such a great shot that I was able to take since Grandma C just got her hair done for the wedding and J. looks so proud with his Grandma

I had to throw this one in... this little guy was chomping on some off our many weeds we have growing I expecially like how her ears are so perked up... Eat as much as you like... she was having her a nice meal, she stayed for 20 min. or so.

iowa curtains

I was so excited when mother-inlaw brought home iowa striped fabric from a garage sale, and then said here make something out of it... My first thought was, hum what am I going to make with it? Bibs came to mind, and them she said you know curtains might work well... So with some hems ive made mt secound set of curtains....
Yep, a hawkeye fan's dream... don't want the fabric to show on the other side? I lined the curtain with a white sheet cut to sized so you don't see the fabric on the outside, yep, mother-inlaw thought of that...Thanks a ton, I still have a ton of this fabric left if any one needs some just let me know.... I don't really know what else I will use it for

Don't they look good?

Little old me

I fell in love with this picture of me, but it had some issues that I had to fix so...

I changed the issues and now I have something that I can print, I am really enjoying restoring my photo's. I hope to post more soon... Wasn't I cute?

mammouth Caves ntl. Park

Ok, So this would have been a really cool thing to do if you: a) didn't have a fear of heights. b) If you had not have had this as your last resort of entertainment in KY ( we have visited KY 4 other times.) c) if you didn't have a toddler that needed a nap, and if that it was the last "day" on your vaca. lol Yep, that was our experience at the caves. Although decending down 360 stairs was maybe the dumbest Idea I ever had Gar did this all while holding Chloe, he was not thrilled to say the lest... opps. We both didn't get much out from the caves. here is some of the many pictures I took

You can sorta see how massive the cave is we are at the end of the line and there were about 250 people in our group.

Doug and Becka's wedding

Doug and Becka's wedding, was really fun, weddings are always fun, but when you get 19 pharmacists in one wedding that is when you know you are in the right place, if you are G and I! It was so fun to see G's Class mates once a gain, they are all such great people doing great things!
The wedding was beautiful and we all enjoyed the chance we got to spend time with G's friends.
Our little miss was so busy, that might even be an understatement. her she is, yes with all the training I have had trying to get toddlers to get a cute picture, this is the only one of her with her cute dress on that was remotely worth posting, oh well, it is a way cute picture and it shows her personality which is what it's all about right?






Emily got the Boquet, we had to let Chloe see it, she loves flowers, and always wants to hold one, She didn't know what to think after she was able to see "it" she is so funny.
