Happy Birthday, DAD!!!!!

We celebrated dad's birthday last week, but today is actually his birthday. He is 86 years old. He has been such and inspiration to me and wow, what a dad to have. For his birthday dinner we had make your own omelets in a bag. These are fun to make if you've never tried it. I put 2 eggs in a ziplock bag and then set out all kinds of fillings to put in the omelet. Seal up the bag and drop in boiling water for 13 minutes. It slides out and makes a beautiful fluffy omelet. We also had hash brown, bacon, sausage,country ham, gravy & biscuits.

Craig's had to get two plates for all he ate.

This is a close up of what the omelets look like.

For dessert we had apple tarts with ice cream.

Happy Birthday, Craig

We celebrated Craig's birthday on Friday night, with his usual Stir-Fry birthday meal. We had stir-fry veggies, steak, chicken, egg rolls, potstickers, fried rice, teriyaki rice and ramen noodle salad.

Craig isn't a cake eater, so his birthday cake was Monkey Bread

Happy Birthday, Craig!!!! I love you!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My Pride And Joy

Swimming

READY, SET

JUMP

Trevor flying high

John gets quite a workout tossing the boys as high as he can.

We took the slide off of the swing set. Buddy and John held it while the kids went down. Hopefully we can figure out how to fix it so it doesn't look like a redneck poolslide.

The kids have really enjoyed the pool this year. They have all come a long way. Mitchell is swimming anywhere he wants. Nolen will swim in the shallow end. Trevor will swim in the shallow end with his water wings on. At the beginning of the season he wouldn't even get off the steps. Now he will jump in on the sides. Shelby goes anywhere she wants with her swimmies on. Hopefully next year they will all be swimming.
