Birthdays and Summer Fun
My mom with her mom on her 80th birthday!
My Grandma’s 80th birthday/family reunion was on July 24th. It was a hot day but filled with fun. We went to a park where we had great food and good entertainment! We played minute to win it games which were hilarious!
trying to get the cookie from your forhead to your mouth using only your face muscles!
I can’t believe she is 80! Then the next weekend we celebrated my mom’s 50th birthday! This party was at our house and it was a true success! Most 50th birthday parties are focused on being old with black balloons and such. We decided to do something way better than make her feel old! We invited family and a few friends and on the invitations we put, Jenene’s turning 50 but lets not dwell on numbers and balloons that are black, instead we will celebrate by bringing childhood back! We had pictures of her famous hotties from back in the day, pictures of her when she was a teenager, and of course Charlie’s angels, posted around the yard, had old school games to play and princess décor everywhere! We had oldies music playing and they all had a blast from the past. We play pin the tail on the donkey and potatoes sack races! It’s amazing what old people will do after a few glasses of sangria! Pictures to come later!
July came and went WAY too fast and here it is almost the end of August! We have been enjoying summer and I really don’t want it to end!
Chris skiing!
We have had a lot of fun on the boat and I even went to the Zoo with Jax and my sister. Baby Zuri is the cutest little elephant ever! Everyone should go see her and her cute tricks!
I told Jax to smile and he smiled at the giraffes! such a kid!

Chris’ work is finally slowing down and that is a good thing but also sucks! it’s nice for him to have a break from being so busy but it defiantly sucks because that is the first sign of summer being overboo! Since he can finally take a break or have some time off of work we are planning a trip to Yellowstone! I am really excited because I have never been there and I am ready for a little break from work myself! It’s going to be fun to take a road trip in the motorhome and hopefully it will be the first of many road trips! We are still deciding on whether or not to take our kids just because of the bad experiences we had the last camping trip, plus there are bears in Yellowstone and they both are so friendly I don’t want them to get ate by a bear! We have been waxing the motorhome after work at night and it has been surprising fun! I love spending time outside in the warm summer air and doing projects together! It is starting to look really shinning and we get to watch the sun set every night! Sun sets are so pretty but they have made me really aware of how sucky my camera really is! Maybe for Christmas Santa will bring me a new one!
