A great Saturday

Today I am happy because I got to spend time with a lot of family and great friends.  We had my dad's 62nd birthday party today.  There were about 35 people at their house.  We had lots of yummy food and cookie cake to top it all off.  I rode a little mini motorbike and my husband tried to teach me to ride my mom's big motorcycle.  Her's was way too big for me.  The kids swam and played on the golf carts.  There was tons of laughter and a lot of conversation.  I am beyond blessed.  Tonight Elexis is at a sleepover and I miss her.  We have another birthday party tomorrow (her cousin's...the one having the sleepover).  Busy busy weekend filled with lots of family.  Here are a few pictures from today.
Hamburgers, fresh grilled squash, cucumbers and tomatoes out of the garden, my mom's potato salad...yum.  This is my mom's plate, I had a hotdog with all the other stuff.

A beautiful candid of my cousin.  She doesn't even know I took this picture.


Another candid.  This is my aunt who celebrated her 58th birthday yesterday.  Her daughter is the one above.  


Me and one of my favorite cousins (her sister is my other favorite).  She starts her Senior year on Thursday.

Photo Day 10: Split
I was split (haha) between two pictures.  I decided to post both.  Both revolve around ice cream.  One is Blue Bell Great Divide.  The other is a Blue Bell Banana Split ice cream sundae.

      I am so glad Lisa. My mom's potato salad is like crack!! It is sooo good. Most of the people I know who don't like potato salad, will only eat my mom's. I have tried and tried to make it like her, but I think the magic is in the bowl that she uses. :)

    Fantastic pics! I especially love the two candid shots. I wish someone would take great pics like that of me... lol I'm usually the one running around with the camera. ;)

      I am always the one running around with the camera. Very rarely do I get in front of the camera. I am pretty stealthy about getting candid shots. Most people don't know I am taking their picture.
