Papa turns 60!!!

ALRIGHT! Back in action! After getting a little behind due to newborn land, then running into some computer problems, I THINK I will be able to catch up on my dear blog:) Ahh, I've missed it!

Back on August 12th, my dad was turning, gulp...60! With my brother back in Oregon, we got together for a surprise family dinner.This was my first attempt to organize and take care of a few things since Ashley was born. It was a scramble, but with everyone's team work, my mom, and brother, we pulled it off. Eddy had to work and was unable to make it, since it was during the week:( My dad had no clue we were coming and my mom got off work early and we ran the doorbell, my brother fibbed and said he needed to sign for a package and "SURPRISE!".  We also surprised him with his favorite cake from Rose's Cafe. Lacy treated us all with decorating the cake with sprinkles. I will say that the rest of us DID eat the cake. You look at the photos below and decide if you would have, haha.

Being that Lacy's birthday was just around the corner, we stayed so I could do some scrambling for Lacy's presents and "party".

My not-so-proud mommy moment. Ashley was awake and I FORGOT to include her as I was setting the camera timer and running to my seat. Someone else COULD have held her! Whoops.

This looks innocent and sweet enough right?.....

THIS is what happened in between handfuls. YUMMY.

Leaving the Lacy mark...she just could not resist! Ever since her second bday, she has had a VERY hard time resisting scooping off a finger of frosting:)

Papa's own slice!

Uncle Cory gave her some flowers, this is how she flaunted it.

At least I remembered to take her photo! (9wks)

It was good!

Poor Uncle Cory was booted out to an air mattress in the kitchen while we visited! Now, he is able to stay in the trailer with his own bed, own space, and with peace and quiet, haha.

Lacy LOVES Mammie and Papa's backyard. Here she was playing with all the fallen leaves..for a LONG time.

A missed blogged moment during Ashley's 2 week of life, Lacy was stung by a bee for the first time. She responded much better than I imagined it would go, even pulling out the stinger by herself. SO, even after that, she still has no fear of bees. She told me she wanted to watch the bees. She was practically sitting IN this plant. She calm, cool, and collected. Her momma was clenching her teeth, trying not to pass on her own fears!

Sweet spectator. 

The best potato scrubber:)

This ONLY happens at mammie and papa's house. She always has SO much fun:)

This child has a passion for flowers. REALLY.

Enjoying the fresh berries she picked out of Mammie and Papa's garden.

Her beautiful bouquet:)
