 On Sunday we  meet Patty and Glen and the girls for lunch at East Side Mario's
above is Hannah and Jordana
 Here Matty and Abi ...yes Abi is our movie star ...the kids had lots of fun ..
Now the next day the guys went fishing....Bare...Shawn and Glen...
 and as you can see Bare caught a nice one ...in fact his only one for the whole day...the other boys caught about 4 each and let lots go...but it was a fun day ...oh ya Uncle Dave ...Shawn just could not kiss the fish....
 this fish was a nice size ...even  with the head and gills gone this fish was still 20 inches long and fat ..
Bare kept it like that so he could cut the fish in to steaks ....
 us girls got things ready for a barb-q after guys got home ...Mindi showed me a neat trick
 never knew this ....egg slicer and celery...and how to make it look neat...
 like it was flowering ...put the celery into ice cold water for a bit and this is what happens...
 and Jordana put it all together ...awesome job girl...
there were burgers and smokies and hot dogs...
It was an awesome time ...now you know why us girls were late with our Mojo Cards....
Have a great week....

 Well here it's Wednesday ...middle of the week and I am now adding my Mojo Monday card...well I beat last weeks dated....
 Now the paper is from K&Company--Hojas Simple...the butterfly Recollection same has the little flower ...the ribbon and bow ...Jolee...hope you like....so I tried another card layout today.
 Thought it might look ok ...what do you think???

 I left the botttom of the card empty so some one could write their own messages or sign their names ..or even add their own Happy Birthday...or what ever....

Now I was luck enough on Monday to get the girls for a sleepover ...and Hannah who had a Diego train set ...want so to give it to Ethan...so over to Aunties we go..

 like her card.....talent here....
below are pictures of baby birds from the backyard of Sam's
 they are so sweet
 mom and dad feeding the hungry kids

Sam...has been putting food on the lawn for them ...they don't even fly away now when she is doing it you will also notice in the first pictures of the birds ..you can see a metal piping wrapped around the pole ...they have this orange cat that belongs somewhere else that comes and has climbed the pole and did get one of the baby birds ...there was three....so Sam made it hard to climb. We all can't wait for the teaching of flying.
