Poppa turns 80!

80 years old!! Wow, I am so fortunate to still have all of my grandparents! My Poppa turned 80 on March 18 and my parents threw him a birthday party. They all had a great time and my Mom did a great job of making it special. Here he is on the phone with us - we sang him Happy Birthday ;)

My Mom put together a photo book that was quite a hit.
The fam! Wally Pop, Tootsie, Nanny, Poppa, Karley, Casey, Barbara and Todd (Todd is my Dad's brother) Happy some of Poppa's grandchildren were able to celebrate with him!

More pics from Tyler's bday weekend

Here are my Mom's pictures from Tyler's birthday weekend. Such a fun time...still can't believe my baby boy is TWO!

Peek-a-boo

Not sure what just happened but thought it was funny that all of our mouths are open!

Gone Fishin

Paige and some of her buddies like to play at the park at preschool for a few minutes after pick up. Sarah snapped a quick shot of all the kids "fishing". Pretty cute!

Maggie's Apple Cake

My Poppa sent me this email the other day. "Joyce mother hand scribed this recipe years ago and she ran across it yesterday cleaning out recipe clippings from over the years. Thought you would like to have a copy ----maybe try to bake the cake. Any questions call Nanny………………"

How cool is that! A hand written recipe from my Great Grandmother!

Sara finally joins the 30 club!

What a fun night! We went to Crush for Sara's 30th birthday and had an absolute blast. I love these girls and truly cherish our friendship!

Tyler's Actual Birthday

Boo-hoo! My baby boy is TWO?! I LOVE this age but it makes me sad that Tyler is not a baby at all anymore!!

That night we took him to Chuck E Cheese's. He has been once - a long time ago - and it is in the same shopping center as the grocery store we go to and he always points and chants "Chuck E Cheese...Chuck E Cheese" in his own language :) so I was happy to finally take him! PS: Think it's about time to get some longer jeans Mom!!

When we got home Tyler had a package from my Aunt Norma! Perfect timing!

It's a John Deere tractor!

The next Jane Green??

Paige came home from preschool with her first book!

My baby boy is TWO!

We had Tyler's "BUZZ BIRTHDAY!" (that's how he would say it) at Playwerx this past Saturday and Tyler had an absolute blast! He hit the structure as soon as we got there and didn't stop until it was time to go. Jerm went in there with him and couldn't keep up! Everyone there was talking about how Tyler was in his own little world and was super fast and coordinated. What a perfect party place for Tyler!

Paige, Tyler and Maddie

This picture started out posed and somehow turned in to this. Ha!

Tyler, can I pleeeeease have some of your goldfish?

Argh. You're lucky it's your birthday kid.

I'll give you one guess who's hitting her in the head.

Are all of those cupcakes for me?!

Happy Birthday to you!

Tyler kept making this little kiss face while eating his cupcake. Cutie pie!

Lemme see that balloon...

AHH! I let go of the balloon! (love Paige's face)

Present time!!

Is this what I think it is?!

It is, it is!!! Buzz Lightyear wings from Grammy & Pappy!!

Got all his Buzz gear on and hit the skateboard with Dad

The Donnelly family came over for some birthday fun and so did the Elleraas fam but we forgot to take a picture! The kids love playing with the new lego table from Tootsie & Wally Pop!

What a super fun day! We love you Tyler Buggy!
