Happy Birthday Mom!

Sue and Becky in the back. Mom, me and Jane sitting.

Mom...aka Grandma B. turned 80 last week....doesn't she look great! Dave and I took a quick trip Saturday to Illinois to suprise her at a birthday dinner my sisters planned. It was great to be there and see her expression. I wish the girls could have gone but we thought it would have been too long in a car for such a short trip. They spent the weekend at Grandma & Grandpa Sharpe's having their own fun.

Happy Halloween

The girls had great fun this Halloween....even Ella. She did dress up and planned to stay with daddy to hand out candy but caught up with us a few houses down the road and then loved going door to door. The school was collecting candy for the troops over seas so the girls loved going through their candy deciding what to keep and what to part with. They all gave up quite a bit. The school collected 4,000 pounds in all.

Digging in to carve pumpkins.

Ella...aka "The 50s girl"
