The BIG 60 for Scott and Me!

What?  When did this happen?  How could I possibly be 60 years old?  It seems just like yesterday that I had children in the house....wait, I still do have children in the house, but now they are "grandchildren"!  I guess 60 is about right when I remember how it feels to get up off the floor....that is if I can even get down to the floor!

Truth be told, Scott was 60 on the 23rd of February and he got to celebrate his birthday in Arizona with son-in-law Jamie and Jamie's dad, Jack.  It had rained the previous three days, but on the day of his birthday the sky cleared to a beautiful blue and the sun was shining and all was good!  So the three went out to play some golf...had a 1 1/2 hour delay due to frost, but it turned out great!  I was still in Washington but heading home that night.

My birthday is on Friday, March 5, but because we have so many February and March birthdays (Dina's is Feb. 19th, Scott's the 23rd, Mine Mar 5th, Jamie's the 8th and Aaron's the 17th) we try to do one BIG group party!  And yeah for me that Dina has the big house now that can hold our family....not to mention the mess!

 

We are blessed to still have Scott' parents and my dad to join us for our big family gatherings.  Scott's brother, John and his wife were also there to help us celebrate.  It is difficult to see from the picture, sorry about the pic, it seems a bit grainy...anyway, Cold Stone Creamery cupcakes and ice cream cookies for the birthday desserts! They were a big hit!

Aaron brought up Caleb's motorcycle and all of the children loved riding that.  Aaron took the little ones for rides and the first thing out of Jalen's mouth the next morning, before he was even out of bed was asking about riding the motorcycle!  Hmmm I am thinking this might be a good way to bribe that little guy into sleeping in his own bed!  What do you think?  If you are not big enough to sleep in your own bed (NOT between mommy and daddy!!) then you probably are not big enough to ride the motorcycle!!  Do you think it will work?   Hey, it is worth a try, for sure!
