Day Two Hundred Thirty 2012

Happy 6th Birthday, Elijah!

My grandson Elijah is soooo excited to turn 6 years old today! He’s been counting down the days, and it’s finally here. His big party is tomorrow, so we treated him to ice cream at the Marble Slab Creamery after school this afternoon and gave him his card and present. This evening he’s eating his birthday dinner with his mom, dad, and sister at a local hibachi grill. Elijah, you are such a great kid! Your grandpa and I are so blessed to have you as our grandson. We wish you The Best Year EVER!  We LOVE you!!

Day Two Hundred Seventeen 2010

I Scream!

Grandkids Shelby and Elijah scope out the tasty frozen choices at the Marble Slab Creamery this afternoon.

It all came down to chocolate and vanilla--classic flavors. Shelby got two different flavors of chocolate and Elijah chose Birthday Cake and good old vanilla. Stuffed inside a waffle cone coated in white chocolate and sprinkles.

"Granny, if I eat all this, I'll get sick." (He took his chances.)

Yum! It even smells good.

Lick!Lick!Lick! Gooood stuff! Fun times!

Day One Hundred Fifty One

A gorgeous Sunday, high temp, low humidity, deep blue sky, nice breeze. What more could we ask for? Ice cream! We decided to sit outside and eat. Kelly got this tiny cup of cheesecake mixed with strawberries and graham crackers. I got a huge cup of the same. Killer stuff! Neil had white chocolate with sprinkles of all things. He can do chocolate as long as it doesn't look like chocolate I guess. Good times, great calories!
