3 Month Old Hazel

Hazel turned 3 months old and is growing so fast.

This chair has been the background for both Violet and Lincoln as Melissa was showing the monthly progression growth. The only thing missing from this photo is Hazel's mimi. Ummm, Melissa, I think you're getting forgetful!

Grease Is The Word

When you have to work on your birthday, what better way to celebrate than with a Grease themed slot tournament.

If a prize was given for best recreation of characters from Grease, I think they would have to give it to Michael and his co-worker. Michael may need a little more hair to portray John Travolta's character Danny but the idea is there.

All the guys wore leather T Bird jackets while the ladies wore Pink Lady jackets.

If I would have known the theme earlier, I might have found my old poodle skirt and dressed the part to take Michael to lunch. But then again, I might have been mistaken for an employee and asked dozen of questions from the guests.

Happy Birthday Michael! I couldn't ask for a better son. And stop telling people your real age. All that does is make me older!

Pre-Birthday Bowling Party

Trying to find a time to celebrate any occasion that includes the whole family doesn't always mean it falls on the actual date of the event.

Today we were able to celebrate Michael's birthday with a family get together for bowling. I started the game tripping over my feet and falling as I released the ball. Believe it or not, I got a strike. Already I can feel the muscles in my body regretting this activity.

I won the first game but no one could compete with Michael's 4 consecutive strike ending in the second game. Melissa jumped in for a few frames and got 2 strikes in a row. Teresa, Jamie and Brandon just shook their heads at our competitiveness. Happy pre-Birthday, Michael. There's still lunch on Saturday.
