Flashback Friday...."Got Aqua Net?"

Directions to here:

Protecting the guilty and innocent...
You'll have to ask your parents/grandparents for the story...recently being discussed via email.
Which by the way has peeked my curiosity as to whereabouts...I may just have to do some detective work.
no name revealing comments, please...email me your info and questions!!

Birthday greetings for the newest Mrs. Vandercar

Totally missed getting a shot of the Birthday girl at Sunday dinner.

The cake came out, song sung and candles blown out before I could get across the room to get my camera!

Have a Happy Birthday, Ali !!

Flashback Friday....Nights in Columbus

It doesn't seem that long ago that we all headed to Columbus for Matt and Chari's wedding....

But we all look so young!

my, oh, my...

we have added a lot of people to this family since then!

St. Patty's girls.

Now, that we've established that we are Irish, it seems fitting that those Great Great Irish Grandparents should have not one, but two grand children born on St. Patrick's day.

I got to spend time with one of them on Saturday:

 and helped her out with this "Birthday Cake."

I heard the other one had some green pancakes on her plate!

Happy Birthday

to my two wonderful Irish Birthday nieces!

Flashback Friday....Kiss us, we're Irish (for real)

So...we're Irish.

This is the first year that I can really say that I know for sure that any one of us can say

and not just be saying a popular phrase.

I guess I knew this all along, but this is the first Saint Patrick's Day that it hit me that our maternal Great Great Grandparents lived in another country....called Ireland.

 According to most records....here's where we come from.

Oh, how I would have loved to hear our Great Grandparents Irish accent!

and....

Matt & Chari turned eleven!

Happy Anniversary, Matt and Chari!

...and this boy too...

Happy Belated Birthday Darold!

So very glad to be wishing 

THIS BOY 

a Happy 5th Birthday!

March...marches on...leaving me behind.

I had great plans for spending some time on blogging and catching up here, while I was on vacation.
But alas...March marched in and is marching right out as fast as it came.

While we were Texas bound I missed some birthdays....so here's some belated greetings!
