Hello everyone!

Here are the rest of the pictures we took when we spent the weekend with T.L., J.A., Bean, Bug and Smidge for Bug's 6th birthday. Grandpa stayed to help put trim up in the house on Saturday and I took Bean and Bug shopping and to the Aquarium in Duluth. We had a great time! Here are more pics:


This is Smidge in her car seat on the way to the restaurant on Friday night. They took us out for my birthday!

I guess I'll have to change the picture I have up on the right, as soon as I decide if I'm going to leave it this color or not! Want a vote? :)

Bean and Smidge waiting for their food.

Smidge likes Mac and Cheese!

Now there's a happy baby!

Bug likes her Mac and Cheese, too!

Smidge playing with her toys.

Someone's not too thrilled right now! She smiles almost all the time!

Bug eating Subway in the food court at the mall the next day.

And here's Bean eating her sub, too.

Bug and Bean by the sting ray tank at the Aquarium.

Trying to touch them before they get away!

Some of them are pretty fast, so you have to be quick!

They wanted to touch each one of them.

There! She finally got that one!

Bug hugging the caribou that stands in the Aquarium.

Here's Bean with the same one.

Bug with the moose. He's a little bigger!

Showing how tall he really is!

This one is a little more their size!

Bean threw her fish food in in little bunches!

Acting like beavers in the beaver house!

Bug and her reflection. They had both been leaning over the sign that said "No flash photography!" I didn't see it! Oops!

Bug and Bean opening a present for them to share - a "How To Draw" book. Smidge is trying to open hers!

Smidge loved her soft, stuffed bear!

We had such a fun time! This weekend we celebrate Grandpa's birthday (4/13), T's birthday (4/21) and Zoo's birthday (4/26). I KNOW I'll have a few more pictures then! I have a new camera that I think takes even better pictures! Will share them when I can!

Remember to keep your eyes on Jesus and His Word, and NOT on the world! They have a terrible habit of trying to leave God out of everything! They're WRONG!!! He won't be ignored, left out or dismissed! He's just waiting for the perfect timing to accomplish His will on the earth. Be prepared, stay ready and expectant! God wants you blessed so that you can BE a Blessing!

Shalom in Him!

Hello everyone,

Here are the pictures from Bug's 6th birthday party. We took her to Carnival of Thrillz and she had much more fun this time than the last time! She tried mini golf, the roller coaster (even by herself!) and rode the carousel 5 times! As usual, we took LOTS of pictures! Here are a few:


She liked mini golf up until the 8th hole, then was ready to try something new - but she did finish and did very well!

Grandpa was glad to have a chance to even pretend to play golf!

Here he is showing Bug how to hold her club.

She much preferred the carousel!

First ride - pink horse!

Now the green horse!

Now does she look like she's having fun or what?!

A little grin for the camera.

She even tried the Frog Hopper this time.

Another carousel ride, another horse color - blue!

She had to have a wrist band to ride on anything and we wanted it snug so it wouldn't tear off.

Having fun on a green horse again!

She wanted Grandma in the picture with her, and since I couldn't really fit in the little seat, we tried a leaning pic!

At the bottom of the purple slide in the play area.

She ran up the foamy stairs and the came down the slide with all the little rollers.

An action shot on the purple slide!

She wanted me to try to get a pic of her actually IN the slide. Not too bad!

What shall I do next?

Grandma and Bug on the roller coaster.

She didn't really want to, but once she tried it, she had so much fun!

Waving to Grandpa!

A very fun time smile!

She really wanted to sit in the front seat.

Now she's not just riding by herself, she's waving her arms!

Do you think she'd ready for a BIG roller coaster now?

We had so much fun! When we left here we went to our favorite candy store and bought fudge and candy gifts for Mommy & Daddy, Bean & Smidge! Then we went to the mall, but ran out of time to shop much. We headed back home to go out for birthday supper with T.L., J.A., Bean and Smidge. They bought supper for MY birthday! That was fun! Then I took Bean and Bug the next morning to the mall so we could shop for Bug's birthday present while Grandpa helped T.L. and J.A. with some trim work on their house. I'll have pictures from that in a few days!

Enjoy this wonderful weather!

Shalom in Him!
