Happy Birthday

Today is my nephew's Birthday. Jordan is 19 years old.

The family got together for Pizza, Pie and Cupcakes to celebrate Jordan's special day.
wow, 19 candles sure put off a lot of smoke.

Since Jordan will be leaving on his mission soon. He was given a new suit, socks, shirts and ties.
(i did not take a picture of his clothes)
But I did take a picture of his new game for XBox360.

"Happy Birthday Jordan"
Love ya!!

PS: Can I have your big screen TV when you leave on your mission?

Scrabble Anyone?

Today my "Scrabble Pendants" arrived. I had just order them on Wednesday, the 8th day of October. Talk about fast. Better yet, FREE Shipping. Now that's what I'm talking about.
These are just a few samples of what "Home Studio" has to offer. So go check out Home Studio and order some Scrabble Pendants for birthdays, thinking of you, the holidays or for yourself.

There are so many to choose from you'll want to order them all!!

It's My Birthday

Today, Friday the 10th day of October 2008 is my birthday. The exact time that I entered this world was at 3:30pm. I've never been one to get "excited" about my birthday. To me it's just another day but with gifts, cake and well wishes from family and friends. But, I have to be honest, I am alittle excited about this birthday. Not that I'm excited about turning another year older. But that 1) I took the day off from work. 2) It's going to be "all about me" and 3) Ok, so this is where no one is to laugh or make fun of me. I am going to see Niel Diamond. Yep, the man who wrote "Sweet Caroline". It's going to be my "first" concert ever. Unless you count the time I "heard" Billy Joel in Christchurch, NZ. The stadium was so close to where I was living that it felt like the concert was inside my flat. Today is going to be a great day!!

PS: I would like to give a shout out to my Uncle Robin who also has a birthday today. As well as, my friend Wendy Clover, Happy "16th" Birthday. And if my Grandmother was still alive she would have been 101 years old today.

Happy Birthday...

To my older sister, DeAnn. Tomorrow is her Birthday. DeAnn is the crazy one in this family. But we like crazy. She keeps us all laughing.
Here she is opening some of her gifts. Since her birthday is tomorrow she wanted to wait and open some on her real birthday.
Happy Birthday DeAnn!!

(crazy nephews in the back Ivan and Bradyn)

Since we have several family members who have birthdays in October, we celebrated all the birthdays with one "cupcake" cake. So to all the other October Birthdays..Happy Birthday to my brother Darin, my niece Daryn "Ashlyn" and to me. HaPPy BiRThdAy!!

Family + Food + Gifts = Baby Shower

This morning, my sister DeAnn threw a Baby Shower for her daughter, my niece Jessica at MiMi's Cafe. We had brunch and the food was so good. Jessica flew down from Idaho along with her sister, Chloe. Family drove and flew in from California to celebrate the soon to be "birth" of a niece, great niece, granddaughter and great granddaughter. Our family can't wait for the birth of this baby. Too, bad she'll be living in Idaho. So, Jessica you better update your blog everyday with pictures once the baby arrives. My cute nieces, Jessica and Chloe
DeAnn, cousin MariAnne, Me and friend Paula
Soon to be great grandmothers Bev and Patricia and grandmother DeAnn
Niece, Daryn "Ashlyn", Jessica and sister-in-law Rachel
This is just one of the many gifts I gave to Jessica for the Baby. I don't know why everyone was surprise that I picked out a cute outfit. Ok, so some of my other gifts were from Nike. What can I say I love Nike. Jessica also received many handmade knitted blankets from grandmothers, great Aunts and friends. Plus a handmade quilt from her mother. It was fun to just spend the morning with family and close friends. Love you Jessica and I can't wait to meet baby Ruby "LaVonne". Love ya :)

Happy Birthday Ivan

My nephew, Ivan is 14 years old today.
The Indian name I gave him is "Little man with a big head". When he was little he had a big head. (actually his curly hair made it look like he had a big head) Ivan is a smart kid. He is serious about everything he does. I love this kid and not because he is buying my a BMW.

Ivan makes his family laugh, as he imitates his older brother Jordan. We always get a big laugh when Ivan does his imitations. Even Jordan laughs. Don't worry its all in fun...right Ivan?. I am so happy that my little man with a big head lives closer to me. ( not even a mile away from me). Happy Birthday Ivan!! I love ya! :)
