Brittany's Baby Shower

Brittany, my niece, is getting ready to have baby #2 - a boy. The family got together for a baby shower at Paradise Bakery. I love that place - great food!

A Birthday Celebration

So . . . I am running a little behind! I went to take pictures the other day & noticed that there were still pictures on my camera from my brother's birthday in May. I hadn't even looked at them on the computer yet. That is SO unlike me. I must have been pretty busy over the past couple weeks. So, I am playing a little catch up now.

We went to dinner to celebrate my brother's birthday. It was good food & good company. After dinner, we headed over to another restaurant for some ice cream treats. The weather was great for sitting outside and visiting at both places.

Getting ready to enjoy our dinner:

Hello, my name is Trouble:

Trouble having a little fun with his camera:

B-cubed, that is going to be B-cubed for much longer. Baylee was so cute. She has a band aid on her toe and was determined to show it off to everyone. Doug & Kelly (the birthday boy - who helped us pour concrete earlier in the morning on his birthday!)
Kelly, checking out a gift with my dad looking on:
Ben & Ryan. If Ben knows I'm taking a picture he does something goofy in each one of them. I have a great time when I start looking at them on my computer because I never know what awaits me whenever Ben has been around - I always get a good laugh:
