Birthday Buddies and Hobbit birthdays

 Today Dan turned 23 years old....

A blast from the past...

Dan's a turtle!

 Blow, Dan blow....

 Of course, 23 years ago, Becky got Danny as a birthday present...a third brother was NOT what she wanted...but thankfully, she likes him now and happily shares birthday parties. 

 Becky turns 27 tomorrow. 

She is still a beauty...

 You can do it!!!

 In Hobbit tradition, Dan bought everyone gifts for his birthday.

 I think the kids could get used to this tradition, especially since there are so many birthdays throughout the year. 

 Kim has creepy eyes....

 Dan signed all the books, making them all very special

The gift of books also made for a quiet birthday night. 

Happy 24th Birthday, Becky!!

 Happy birthday, sweet Becky!!!

We love you!!

Three of my beautiful girls....inside and out!!

#1 daughter, Becky, displaying the gift she brought home to me.

Becky has been at it again!

Happy Easter, everyone!!

Off the needles...

I finished Becky's scarf and am very happy how it turned out..
and more importantly, so is she.
Becky picked out the beautiful colors herself. It is Caron Simply Soft yarn--dark sage and country blue knit together.
I used this pattern for the quick and easy, (but lovely) scarf.

A balloon birthday cake

Becky's latest creation....a "balloon" birthday cake.

Into the Woods!!

Another wonderful summer theater performance on the lawn of the Oneida Community Mansion House by Victoria Buda's Academy of Theatrical Arts.

Last year we were treated to A Midsummer Night's Dream
This year was Into the Woods.
This is Becky before she transforms.....

Laura looked gorgeous!

Becky as Granny---after she was freed from the stomach of the wolf.

What a cool Granny----I wonder where the inspiration for Becky's Granny came from???

And you have to love those hips!!

A Groundhog's Day Cake

I couldn't imagine what a Groundhog Day cake would look like, but Becky didn't have a problem.
She knew just what it should look like, and boy, is it cute!!

Becky's latest---a calla lily cake

I just love this cake. Of course, Becky is making cakes everyday now, but I love the cakes that she designs herself the most!
The calla lilies are made of gum paste.

Another great job, Becky!

Blood Brothers Revival---Jan. 2010

The cast from last summer's performance of Blood Brothers came together for a revival of their great show.
The opening scence performed my the players of The Victoria Buda's Academy of Theatrical Arts. Becky

Tiffany was totally awesome.

Becky was dumped out of this wheelchair numerous times.

She always had bruises since beginning rehearsal for this show---now I really know why.

Becky is the cutest 21 year old I ever had-----;-)... yet....
