Day One Hundred Sixty One 2011

Grandpeeps Shelby and Elijah are happy that their Granny and Grandpa finally joined the 21st century and bought a Wii. I must admit, it is very cool and lots of fun. Today they brought their Scooby Doo and The Spooky Swamp game and spent a good deal of the afternoon helping the gang battle weird and lethal zombies. In that screen shot, there is this huge zombie leading a musical band of zombies while he plays the harmonica and terrorizes Daphne and Fred. The gang and the grandpeeps were victorious in the end and advanced to the next mysterious adventure. As for myself, all I know how to do on the Wii so far is bowl. But I'm willing to learn, so who knows. Happy TGIF, everyone!

Party! Elijah Celebrates His 4TH Birthday

Grandson Elijah turned 4 years old on Tuesday, August 17. Today he celebrated with a party at his house with lots of family to cheer him on.

The giant water slide is always a big hit at his Summer time birthday parties.

Elijah and his cousin Matthew splash in the pool at the bottom of the slide. Too cool!

I love this look on his face when his daddy started lighting his candles. Priceless.

He waited patiently to blow out his four candles while we serenaded him with the birthday song.

Big smiles from the birthday boy and his sister Shelby.

This happy kid is excited to be 4.

The Scooby Doo cake, made by Holly's friend Tammy, was delicious as always.

He couldn't wait to dig into his presents. He opened all his birthday cards, too.

The loot! Lots of new clothes and a bunch of cool toys.

The kids each took a whack at the Scooby pinata.

The mad dash to collect the scattered candy. Woo hoo! This party was great fun.

Happy Birthday, Elijah! Hope you have a totally fun year growing up to be five. Love you more than I can say and so proud to have an awesome grandson like you!
