Mom is now Fabulous Fifty!!!!!!!

Wednesday, September 29, 2010


I love my mom....... she is one of the most gracious, sweet, loving, gentle and godly women I know. She sets a wonderful example to the girls and women at our church, and is an effervescent spring of joy. She is always willing to lend a hand, to wipe a tear, or to lighten a heartache.


....... and now she is 50!!!!!!! She has turned quite the fashionista! It's pretty sweet, she got her hair styled and I LOVE IT! We went to the thrift shop a couple weeks ago and she got 2 pair of stiletto knee high boot, and I was very shocked when she used the words "cute and comfortable" in the same sentence to describe her opinion of them! ..... wow.
We had a party with church people and some family here Sunday afternoon, with lots of great fellowship and food.
Fifty candles makes for a lot of smoke! 

Tami Chick, Uncle Dennis and Aunt Debbie converse in the kitchen while the rest of us eat. :P
( I think almost every picture I took were of people who had very strange expressions). Sorry!

Had such a fun time with the Denny, Chick, Flecher, and Wardwell families!



Nanny with baby Titus. He is so cute!!!!

We all gathered around mom's swing and stared things we love about her.

Monday, we went to Fort Popham with our church friends for our annual 'Beach Day'.
We got there around 9:30a.m. and had a nice quiet walk down to the point before everyone got there. It was a very windy day, so only the bravest went swimming! We unfortunately have no pictures because we were all having fun playing games and not taking pictures. :( Rhonda said she would share her pictures with us. Thank you!
The waves were spectacular due to a nearby hurricane, I have never seen them so big at Popham before! Amanda and Samuel got there sneakers soaked because a huge one came up unexpectedly and before they knew it it was 10 feet past where they were standing! ooops....

These won't seem that big to most of you, but for Popham, it was not normal.
Trying to balance on a rock that my feet hardly fit on while the wind is blowing quite gustily was um..... interesting.


We played in the Fort for a while after lunch. Josiah and Kayla organized the games, my favorite was the Jelly Bean Relay!!!!!! Oh so fun! (sorry no pictures).
We went home, at 4:00p.m., changed our clothes, got freshened up and then headed over to the St.Pierres for dinner.
Jeannette made a lovely moose stew, it was scrumptious! I brought bread and homemade garlic butter.... apologies for the robust garlic-y flavor, I got a little carried away with my crushing! We all ate it so that no one could complain about another persons breath. :)
Nettie made raspberry cheese danish for dessert; now that was a happy thing! Along with a cake (you way over did your self!)


After dinner we sat around and talked, then some of us migrated down to admire Corey's new beauty.... I hope he gets his moose with it in a few weeks! ( Some of us got our faces a little crispy at the beach, I had a raccoon face for about 5 days after).


I...... I don't know what happened.


Eric chillaxin' on the couch.


Corey doesn't really like his picture taken.....



Interesting expression....


And to end the day.... how to unlock your car when Dad, Mom, and Ruthie's keys are locked inside.
Solution : Enter vehicle via sunroof.


Victory!
