Friday Fish Fry

Friday was mom's birthday, and her greatest desire has been and was to go to a Friday night Fish Fry! So off we went to St. Alphonsus!  

Birthday Girl!

Finally got her fish and other delicious accessories

Uncle Nick and Aunt Judy and Geysbeeks came too

Evie and Bec

Came back for cake and presents - nice haul!

Present time!

Reading books with Nora

She got them all in one breath ;)

Marvin came this weekend for the birthday, so on Saturday morning we went to Real Food Cafe to keep the celebration rolling!

Happy Birthday! Any many more!

One Wasnt Enough

I saw a sign on the way home from work and couldnt resist, so I stopped!  Poor little things!  

 So now Puff has a sister!!!!  :)  Powder is what I'm calling her for now, any thoughts?! 

She's already made herself comfy, hopefully Puff, (and the rents), will adjust soon! :)

APRIL FOOLS!  

Puff would claw my eyes out with her declawed paw if this were 'fur real'!

Hope Springs Eternal Today

It's Opening Day! And even though my beloved Tigers lost (boo! I hate the Yankees) it's still a wonderful day and right up there with the first robin sighting and the Whippy Dip opening! :)

Happy Spring!

Boyne for the weekend

I was in Boyne over the weekend - it was absolutely beautiful! It was bright and clear like this the whole weekend -

I had a great time doing a lot of sleeping, game playing, and chick flick watching! It felt like a real vacation! :)  Also - I highly suggest getting AAA, I locked my keys in the car, what a hassle!

And the best part of my weekend?  Being exposed to Antoine Dodson!  I cant believe how 6 months behind I am but check it out!

Making the Band

Six Rocks for sure!  I made these for a friend at work, her son Cade is turning 6 today.  Although, I think the cookies might be more for Amy than Cade! :)  They were a little bit of an experiment since I didnt have a cutter, but here they are -

 Naked Guitars -

 A little icing -

Bedazzle with Blue!

 The Napkin that inspired it all!

I think my favorite -

So fun to make! Rock Out!

Mail from the Capitol

Today I got a letter and it was great!  It was like a 3 leaf clover in a way because it had three parts to it.  My niece sent me a school paper she did that detailed St Patrick and why we celebrate him - thanks Grace!  And Andrea, my SIL, put a news article and a coupon to one of my favorite eateries!  Yumo! 

Great Thursday and great weekend coming up - going to Boyne!

The Bean has Come!

Bean is what my friends Josh and Allyson's baby was referred to all throughout her Bun in the Oven Existence.  Liliann Marie Ruth or Lili is how we know her now!  She came on Wednesday, and the Calvin tennis girlfriends made a visit Thursday evening.  She's a doll!

 Very snuggly

Me, Kristina, Kim, Allyson, Lili, Emily and Gwen - proud pseudo-aunties! :)

Lili is already learning to be generous, we each received a little bouquet in honor of her!

I just have to shout out to the girls in the photo above, and Kari too, for being so welcoming to me, major blessing in the last 4ish years! And I'm sure the best is yet to come! :)
