Happy Birthday TY!

Today is Ty's 7th birthday.He got up early this morning for our family tradition, going to
Shady Maple for a free breakfast! He was soo excited he could hardly go to sleep last night.
He also felt special since we brought cupcakes in to school for his whole 1st and 2nd Grade class.
Tonight Our very good friends Wayne and Rosella are coming over for a special supper that Ty picked out ( another family tradition).Meatloaf,Mashed potatoes,and Green Beans.They will also have some Cupcakes for dessert instead of a cake, but we do have the BIG 7 candle to go on Ty's cupcake.Hopefully tomorrow I can out some pictures on of his party and presents, but for now I have some pictures of the cupcakes I made for him. Enjoy!

Here are two cards that came in the mail for him and ready to be opened!

Yummy!

New backround

I found this Cute back round and decided that with School just starting that it was appropriate.
Hope you like it, please leave feedback,I love to read it!
I am still taking votes on the picture, but if you could leave them as a comment on the blog that would be make it more fun, so everyone can read the different views and opinions.
Pictures of the family at the Church camp out will be coming soon, so there will not be a blog entry till probable Monday, unless there is WiFi at the camp we are going to, which would be great!
Have a great weekend!

A New Little Artist!

Hi everyone sorry it has been soo long since I have blogged.
Between the boys starting school and Mom and I both having Strep throat, it has been a little hectic around here.
Now that Abby is the only one at home, Mom decided to do Kindergarten with her.
One of her favorite things to do is paint.I think that originated out in Dad's workshop!
Well today Abby made a card to send to Grammy and Grandpa Latorella.
She was very excited and decided to make a happy house card for them.
I drew the basic house and she did the painting.I was very impressed with the results,and she was very proud!

These are her new paints for school

Little fingers hard at work

She even remembered to clean up afterword

Here is her finished work


P.S. Grammy and Grandpa Latorella, watch your mailbox for your card!

Little Helpers

While I was out in the shop today this is the scene that met me.
Three little Helpers named Ty,Billy,and Abby, all dressed in clothes covered from head to toe with paint. It was such a cute sight that I thought I would share it with you.
Enjoy a giggle as you look!

A Trip to the Museum

While we were in Michigan our family went to the Grand Rapids Public Museum.
It was during their Family Week, so not only was the admission cheaper,the carousel rides were FREE! We had such a nice time there,my favorite exhibit was the Grand Rapids of 1800's.Well I hope you enjoy the pictures, we sure had a great time!

Even Mom and Dad rode!
