Gma. 90. wk end.

The other weekend we celebrated Grandma M's 90th birthday!!  Such a special day to spend with her.  I've been married  (away from home) for nearly 10 years, but the memories of the time we spent at her house growing up are just as clear and crisp as if it were yesterday.

All her "Wisconsin" great-grandkids.  We were missing 9 great grandkids from out west/east.

We took pictures of all the (6 of 14) grandkids that were there, 4 generation pictures, sibling pictures, etc....  but I don't have any on my camera.  So I'm impatiently waiting for someone *cough*jessica*cough to get me a CD!!  :)

We also celebrated Carolyn's 7th birthday with my family.  Biggest hit???  a sewing machine.  Now both girls are very anxious to start sewing with Mom (whenever Mom gets motivated)

Helping get food ready for Grandma M's party.

I have more pictures from our weekend, but blogger is giving me fits uploading pictures.  In a nutshell, our weekend was short and sweet.

Benji's other front tooth came out today!!!!  It's been really loose.  But despite twisting and tugging it wasn't ready to get pulled out come out.  Today he went to work with Granpda.  He came thru the door this evening beaming from ear to ear with his new toothless grin!!

*AHEM!  The other night we had an incident with this boy and daddy's electric shaver.  {GAH!!!!!}  It could have been much, much worse.  His front is much shorter now.  But luckily he didn't cut into the hairline. .  (he 'smoothed' his hair to the side for this picture, so it looks alittle more lop sided than it really is)  But it's very safe to say he won't messing with his hair anytime soon! :)
