April 21....Happy Birthday to our youngest GREAT Granddaughter Molly, who we haven't met yet. (I really, really need to go to Missouri!!).

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY WONDERFUL HUSBAND AL.    Ric, Janet and Jennifer were here from Seattle to help Dad celebrate his 77th birthday.  The kids came in on Thursday night.  Friday they went to the Pima Air Museum...Dad and I elected to stay home.  Saturday we spent the day getting ready for Dad's party.  We had a house full, Jude and Roger; Pat and Patti; Bruce, Holly, Thomas: Jack and Suzi; Denise and Gordon; Barb.  Sadly we all missed Bob...our get together's are just not the same anymore!  But we all had a great time.  Ric, Jenn and Janet did all of the great food...we had tri tip, baked potato casserole, salad and  lemon coconut cake or chocolate cake for dessert.  We were all sufficiently stuffed.  Great day for Al. 

Al doing one of the things he loves best...cruising, this was in 2010.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO JERRY

Jerry on our Carribbean cruise

Doesn't look much like a cowboy here!!!

Jerry, our middle son celebrated his birthday today.  We won't say which birthday as that would make us feel old...uh, ok, we do feel old.  Jerry lives and works in Odessa.  He loves to be outside and work with his hands and specializes in plants and nature.  He is a true cowboy.  We love him.  He is fun to be with and a great guy.

HAPPY 3RD BIRTHDAY TO OUR GREAT GRANDDAUGHTER SOPHIE

It seems like just yesterday grandson David was calling us to tell us Sophie had arrived!  We were on a cruise and happened to be in port in Astoria Oregon.  We were so thrilled to hear the news.  Sophie, sweet, shy, lovable.  Cute dimples and beautiful eyes.  What a little doll.  Again, I need to go to Missouri to see these sweet great granddaughters of mine! 

Sophie....

Okay, done with birthdays until next week.  Whew...this has turned out to be a job...of course, we do have a large family and I love them all.

In other news, Al had gotten good reports from the Kidney Doctor and his regular doctor.  So if he continues to improve we hope to take a short trip to see granddaughter Lori graduate from High School, grandson Victor graduate from Community College; then on to Seattle and over to Odessa for Al's high school reunion....but that isn't until next month. 

So until next week.....stay happy and healthy.
