Way Back When-sday

I found this cute picture of Pop and Cody blowing bubbles together on Pop and Grammy's back porch.

Cody: 2 years old.
Pop: 78 years young.

Makes My Monday

What a great weekend we had celebrating Pop's 80th birthday! We had a great party for Pop on Saturday with 55 of his closest friends and family.

The party had a western theme to it. The centerpiece's for the tables were upside down cowboy hats with different potted flowers in them with pictures of Pop on sticks. It turned out to be the perfect touch of color we needed in the room.

The food we had worked on for a couple of days turned out wonderfully! These were just the appetizers. The party was catered BBQ style with Ham, BBQ Beef, Homemade Potato Salad and Macaroni Salad, Cole Slaw, Baked Beans, and bread.

Of course, the party is not complete until you get to eat the birthday cake! Here is Tatum eating her piece of birthday cake.

We also went to another birthday party on Sunday for Braden who turned 3!

Chase and Cody had a great time playing with the other kids and Bronsen and Braden toys! We had Spaghetti for dinner and it was delicious!

Thanksgiving Thursday

Nicole over at Odelltrips hosts Thanksgiving Thursday...

I am very thankful for Pop in painting Chase and Cody's room. He did this a few weeks ago and it turned out great!

I have been in the process of converting Chase and Cody's bedroom from a nursery that was bright yellow to a little boys room painted a tan and blue color.

Pop said he would paint it again for me (he painted it yellow for me also before the boys were born).
This is how it turned out!

Chase and Cody love it! Pop did a wonderful job.

Cody says that Pop has to paint the rest of our house now! Well, that won't be necessary but he did a excellent job and just wanted to tell him!
