This past week in pictures

First, here is the main centerpiece that was put together for the event I helped with on June 19th. We had a couple of other things but this was the big guy.

After I rested up from all the planning, shopping, preparing, cleaning up, etc.  We moved on and got to spend some time with our friends that are visiting from out of town. They are still here so we will still get to do more, but on our first day together we went to our old hang out, the playground and the kids played and we chatted. Then we went to Pioneer Park, a place with shops, a couple of museums a train, carousel, putt putt, etc.  Here is a picture of the kids walking together that I thought was cute.

Here is dinner, as you can see, she chose green for all decorations, she wore a green shirt and had a turtle cake. She requested pizza for dinner (she loves bread!!!) She even chose only green vegetables to eat with dinner, spinach and broccoli!

Chocolate cake, chocolate frosting(Pa-Pa, that is the chocolate frosting Tom likes!) and the the turtle is chocolate cake with buttercream frosting.


May the Lord find us faithful.
