Drew and Grandpa Tim's Birthday Party

Drew and Grandpa Tim have birthday's that are close together so we got together with Julie's side of the family along with Andy and Megan to celebrate both Drew and Grandpa Tim's Birthdays.

Grandpa was excited to learn how to play the ukulele.
Grandpa wanted Cherry Cheesecake..

While Drew had to have something that would make a mess!
First it was time to open cards...
Then presents...

Then it was time for cake.

Drew wasn't sure what to think or do at first.

He caught on that cake is good!

Happy Birthday Drew!!

1 year old, we can't believe it! We are going to celebrate his birthday tomorrow but I had to include this video clip as Drew has been walking all around making the sound he makes at the end of the clip.

New Sod Part 2

Here are a few pictures of everyone helping lay the sod. Approximately 2900 square feet and it was done in just over 1 hour. Thanks to all my friends, neighbors, and co-workers who helped out.

Drew was his happy self as usual. He sat in his dish and watched us work.

We are finally finished and so glad to be done with that project. Next comes the shed then the trees for shade. The kids are already excited to play on the grass in two weeks.

New Sod Part 1

New sod arrived this morning on pallats, now we are waiting for all the help to arrive which should be here shortly. Julie is REALLY anxious and excited to get grass in the backyard. Thank goodness we're finally to this point.

Stay tuned for further progress pictures...

Maggie's Lost Her 1st Tooth

Drew was playing in his own little ball cage... and loving it!
Later that day Maggie lost her first tooth which has been hanging on by a thread.

Funny Picture

I decided to cut Pauls hair because it was driving me nuts!! I wore Julie's cape (Which usually buttons in the front when she wears it) so I wouldn't get any hair on me... Julie had to redo the entire haircut after I was done. I thought I did a good job but aparently I have a lot to learn about cutting hair... obviously, look at my perfect head!

Maggie's Perm

Maggie decided she wanted her hair curly this morning..She was patient and read a magazine while she sat under the dryer...
I loved this picture because her leg is crossed and she looks like a big girl getting her hair permed.
The final results!
