HAPPY 70th BIRTHDAY POPPIE!!!

 

On Friday we all came together to celebrate Poppie turning 70!

Here are a few pictures of him with all 8 of his grandkids!

The girls!

And...the boys!

Time to party!

Adah and Brittian had prepared a special "Happy Birthday Jig" for Poppie! They played it perfect! 

Time to eat!

Everyone joined in singing when we brought in the cake.

Present time! Look at this nice one from James.

Looking good Poppie!

We love you Poppie!

What fun it was to celebrate what a wonderful husband, dad, and Grandfather our Poppie is. We are so thankful we have you in our life. May the Lord continue to bless you this next year as you have so richly blessed us. 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY POPPIE!

We Love You!

Too much T.V.??????

So the other day Britt and I were sitting outside together just talking. I happened to notice his permanent front teeth were a little yellow. Remembering that he was the one who had cavities at our last dental visit, I said..."Britt, you need to make sure you are brushing your teeth really good. They look a little yellow to me." Then in all seriousness he said, "Oh, do you think I need to use a little Polident? They say, that is the best way to get your teeth white." I could not believe my ears. Did my 7 year old really know what that was? Where did he learn that? Of course...I find out it was on a Food Station commercial on the T.V. Go figure.

Another "fly on the wall" story

So, today Brittian and Drew are folding clothes together and the topic of age comes up.

Drew says, "Yeah, Mommy is in her twenties, right?"

"No, Drew," says Britt, "She is OLD, she is like in her thirties."

"Oh," says Drew. "Wow, then she is older than Uncle Ben."

Britt replies, "Drew, Mommy is like way older than Uncle Ben...He is like a teenager!"

So, there you have it. 33 is old.  And Uncle Ben, 30 years old with "grey" hair is considered a teenager! I must be not be aging so gracefully after all!
