Jim's birthday

Sunday, March 9th we celebrated Jim's 49th birthday. Denise, Brian, Brody, Michelle, Joey, Patty, Kelly, and I took Jim to Pizza Ranch for lunch. One of his favorite places. Kelly and I made cupcakes for dessert, which Brody loved so much!

Patty, Kelly, Jim and I went to the cemetery to visit Ted and Evelyn's graves. They celebrated their birthday's on March 8th. I always loved when Jim's mom told the story of her in labor with Jim.  St. Joe's hospital was still ran mainly by the nuns.  She told me the nuns would be running up and down the hallway saying, "We are having triplets!" But Jim waited for his own birthday.

Happy Birthday to my love!

Papa & Brody do everything the same!

Brody insisted on wearing Aunt Patty's glasses.

Happy Birthday Papa!

Happy Birthday, Jim, I love you!

 

February

Gee, I missed the whole month of February.

February was a pretty great month. On February 6 Jim and I flew to Wendover, NV with Don and Jolene. We had a great mini vacation. We didn't have much luck at the machines, but it sure was nice to get away for a few days.  Jim got to visit with a couple of his classmates that he hasn't seen in years. One gal has invited us to spend a weekend at her cabin in the Black Hills. We are so going to take her up on that this fall. We are thankful for great friends and Kelly being able to take care of our pets while we were gone. 

The cold  temperatures continued most of the month. We are all looking forward to spring arriving. 

Basketball games have came to an end in February. Now our junior class prepares for prom! Prom will be April 12. Always a good time.

Michelle and Joey purchased their first home! I finally got to go see it on the 22nd.  Michelle had a nice little party that I attended. It was a fun day. Took Kelly out to lunch and the other kids out to supper. I hung around Bismarck until Kelly was done with work and then we went to Perkins for pie! I sure love visiting the kids. Denise said Brody was so mad the next day when he woke up, because grandma wasn't there. I need to go spend a couple days and spoil him.

 My $50 win!
