Hmm, 38 weeks, sounds like I'm expecting a baby or something. YES! Actually I am; A grandbaby girl, due in 2 weeks! WOW! THAT IS ONLY 2 WEEKS!! Yes, I'm getting very excited, and you can know what to expect for my "mom's in the picture" in the very near future!
This will be the first baby for our oldest daughter! Our 4th grandchild. Two more months and we'll also welcome grandbaby #5.
Things are gearing up here, so much going on and to do for the rest of the year. 2 babies, 2 baby showers, 2 trips to ND, a wedding to get ready for Dec 31 plus countless "normal everyday life" things to do and think about.
September brings another birthday in our family, plus two of her cousins. Meshayla and Rebecca are two days apart, Rebecca Sept 11 and Meshayla the 13th. Our closest "twin-cousins" They were both born at 7:06 in the morning. Their cousin Landon is a year younger than them, born on Sept 21. The girls have had their birthday parties together every year since they were 4, the year my sister moved back here from Arizona.
This year because of all of our crazy schedules we combined Landon's birthday party with the girls, and also added Jackson's birthday too. Poor lil' guy...his was actually the end of July and my sisters family schedule was even more crazy than ours, because they didn't have a chance to have a party for him before this!
We did the party up good, they each got their own cake, and the older boys got to have a "sleep"-over in the barn at my sis's country house. The girls had their sleeplessness in the house and by the time it was all over, I think my sis signed a BIG SIGH OF RELIEF!! 5 young teen boys, and 2 teen girl cousins, plenty of mountain dew & monster drinks plus snacks doesn't make for much sleep on anyone's part!
Now for the pictures....
It's Party time!!

It's our family ritual to let the birthday child pick where to go out to eat for their birthday. This year Meshayla's pick was Skeeter Barnes. Good choice Meshayla-- free dessert too! Of course the camera had to go along, and guess what? she didn't even protest the pictures!
I have others, but I think I will add them in a slide show on this post in the next couple days, so if you want to see more, stop back by. Time to let this be all for now!
