Melissa - Another Year Older

As we age, birthdays don't hold the same excitement as when we were children.

That time has come for Melissa. Pizza from Fun House and bundt cakes from Nothing Bundt cakes was plenty for her. Inwardly I believe we all want to be recognized but mostly it's just another day. Maybe for some. I want the party! 

Violet Still Working the Fast Food Joints

A little over 10 years ago I snapped this picture of Violet. At the time Melissa and Jamie were building a new house and I mentioned Violet may need to get a job to help pay for it.

Now Violet's at it again. This time serving food at Culver's for a school fund raiser. Hopefully in another 10 years she's still not in the food industry unless it's a franchise she owns!

Violet's Volleyball Tournament

Violet had her first volleyball tournament with her new traveling team. After pool play, her team landed in the bronze division. The last set was a nail biter. Violet's team won the first game. The opposing team won the second game.

In the last game, Violet's team was behind about 5-10 (I can't remember the exact score). Violet came up to serve and scored 8 consecutive points putting her team ahead. Being a rally score game, the opposing team lost the ball and Violet's team mate then scored the winning point putting them 1st in the bronze division.

Oh how I remember the hours sitting in the bleachers when Melissa played traveling ball. Like mother, like daughter! 

2 Year Old Goldie Celine

Our little baby is growing up....too fast!

Goldie is now 2 years old and got her first 4 wheeler.

If that's not enough, she absolutely killed it on the skating floor. It never stops amazing me how much these little bitty kids can do. Later we had a family birthday party and she was scooting around the floor on a new scooter.

Happy Birthday Goldie Celine! No more baby stuff for you!
