Spring!

First Day of Spring!
We celebrated the day with my Mom's birthday. Happy Birtday Maw. Of course the frog cake was the kids idea. Because Maw LOVES frogs (inside joke).

Maw wanted mealworms for her birthday to attrack blue birds to her new blue bird house.
Maggie and Maw thought they would have a taste. YUM!

The rest of the day was bubble fun!

Not so Baby Girl!!

Happy Birthday Maggie!!

Today my baby girl turned 5. :( She is growing to fast. Well here in the midwest we got hit pretty good with the winter storm. So we started our day playing in the snow since school was called off.

I had two great helpers make Maggie's birthday cake. The beaters and spatula are VERY clean.

After going out for Maggie's favorite dinner pizza. We came back for cake and presents with Maggie's grandparents.

Maggie got her American Girl doll from Maw and Pauk! (Grandma/Grandpa) A very happy and excited girl. I think someone is spoiled. ;) The cradle in the back is from Mommy and Daddy.

Happy Birthday Princess!!

92 Young

Happy Birthday Grandpa!!

Today my Grandfather turned 92!! He still lives in his home for the past 60yrs. Still drives around town(daylight only). Enjoys his baseball games and visits my Grandmother in the nursing home everyday.

Today I sat with my Grandpa and talked about the things that have changed in his lifetime.

He lived through 2 World Wars, 5 conflicts, 2 wars, Pearl Harbor and 9/11. I may be wrong on the number of conflicts the US was involved in. He told me today that when they dropped the atomic bomb he was on his way to the pacific. If that happened I probably wouldn't be here today.

Just think of technology in his life time. With not every home having a phone to almost everyone having a cell phone.

No computers to computers taking up entire rooms to what I have sitting on my lap right now.

Kids played outside with a ball and a bat. Now kids play with a simulated ball and bat on a Television.

Wow what about Television. When he was born there was no such thing. Now look at what we have now.

Cars were a rare thing in his small town of Crystal City. Now we have cars running off of electricity. Grandpa remembers his families first car. It was a 1917 Dodge.

In his life time we entered space and walked on the moon.

Grandpa with the great grandkids. My three and my cousins daughter.

Blowing out candles. No we didn't do 92 candles. We didn't want the fire department called. ;)
