Family Day

Sunday was a WONDERFUL day here. I did not do anything that was planned, but everything was perfect. It was a gorgeous day and I did 2 long walks.

After a trip to the store to buy ingredients for Bud's favorite meal, I spent a bit of time in the kitchen.
The menu???....Homemade Lasagna......homemade white bread.......salad...and store bought carrot cake.Everyone said is was good. I did not eat any of it except the salad.

You are what you eat, and today I am not lasagna, carrot cake, and white bread!
My son had a wonderful birthday. Thank you for your wishes. He brought his mom a present.
A Missouri mug. We all have our favorite destinations...mine is Missouri, down in the hill country! When Bud travels to a state he knows is special to one of us, he gets a little something. He got Kyle an Alabama t-shirt last week. Kyle and Sweetheart have a running joke since Kyle was tiny. If Kyle said "Where's Mom?" Sweetheart would reply, "She went to Alabama!" Silly I know, but tradition. Charlotte received a map of Charlotte, North Carolina a couple of weeks ago. Zachary will get a Texas "something" next time Bud has a run to Tyler. My son is very thoughtful. Though he was quite irritated in this picture cause I kept snapping....
Here is some good news for me and the blog. TJ has decided getting his picture taken is not quite so bad. Instead of dashing off and leaving the photo a blur, he has a "say cheese" face for you all!

What a riot. Here he is with Charlotte saying cheese for me again. This time he closed his eyes tight!
While I was cleaning up the kitchen, TJ came in and said, "Grandma, can I have a Popsicle?" Oh, no...Charlotte and Zach ate the last 2 earlier. "Oh, honey, Grandma is sorry. I don't have anymore." "That's ok, Grandma." Well NO it is NOT! "Let's go get a surprise, TJ." With hands still wet, I grabbed my purse and off the two of us went. To Baskin Robbins for an ice cream cone! I had a water. I will be getting Popsicles today!!!

After the cone, TJ helped me water the garden.He is growing up SO fast!

Having my entire family here for the afternoon and evening was such a blessing! It could not have made for a better day. Zach was in and out all day, and Kyle had a friend over to watch a movie and play basketball. This morning Bud is back on the road, a year older, and a little happier I hope. Now I am out the door to Tackle a job for my mom. I will share it for Tackle It Tuesday!

Thanks for sharing my day with me!!! See you tomorrow!
