A Steakhouse & A Celebration
Sunday, June 19
After church, we took these three to Longhorn Steakhouse for their 2011 Birthdays.
Josh said, “Grandma, if you keep posting these pictures, we will never get dates.”

We relaxed a bit during the afternoon, then went to Jeff and Chris’ for Nate’s “Family Graduation Celebration.”

Left to right: Jeff (his dad), Mary Jane (neighborhood grandma), Chris (his mom), Josh (cousin), Amy (aunt – his mom’s sister-in-law), Gloria (sister), Deb (aunt), Lois (grandma), Nate, Roy (uncle), Abby (cousin), Nathaniel (soon-to-be-cousin-in-law), Ian (cousin), Jenna (sister), Cerwin (grandpa), Jordan (brother), David (uncle – his mom’s brother). On the blanket: Jana (cousin), Diana (sister), Jared (cousin). If you noticed that Jere and Kristen are missing, it’s because they are on a European business trip – Finland and France, then flying home from Geneva, Switzerland. Roy and Deb have their four youngest, and Josh is staying with us.
Jesse needed help to get into the tree.
Nathan tickling Izzy’s belly. She purred like a noisy kitten.
Chris’ delicious garden tea.
Getting ready to open gifts.
A “money salad”
Enjoying the backyard
Homemade ice cream for dessert
Chocolate cake with peanut butter ice cream
The one who guesses the closest number of marshmallows in the jar wins the marshmallows.
Guess the number of corn pops in the jar – and win the corn pops (I won these!) I think Gloria prepared these two counting games.
Jesse loves writing “notes”, so also wrote down his guess – in squiggles.
Izzy and Josh
Izzy just started walking, so now climbs and gets into all kinds of trouble.
Josh making a design with a plastic cup.
As we walked toward our car, when heading home, the sheep came running toward the fence, thinking that we were going to feed them.
Sorry gals – we don’t have any food – we are just going home.
