Nana's 90th Birthday

August 10th was Nana's 90th birthday.  I ask her what she would like for her birthday and she told me "pancakes for supper"  so that is what she got.  We waited until Sunday when Caitlin, Tyler and Jessie could be home to really celebrate.

Cathlena sent her flowers....some of her very favorite kind!

Instead of a cake we put a candle in her favorite dessert, a cinnamon twist and ice cream

She blew out the candle as we sang happy birthday to her

She has had a good birthday!

Modeling

Caitlin was asked to model for one our friends who owns Unbriddled in Ada.  I think you will agree she looks absolutely beautiful!

Our Hunting Dogs!

A few days ago I had a painting project.......a fox statue that needed to be repainted.  It had some dirt and cobwebs on it so Mike offered to wash it off in the shop......he did and when he brought it up to the house he sat it by the back door  so that it looked in the house.  When Calli noticed it she went on point (I have never seen her do this before)

Jessie grabbed her phone and started videoing her....Izzzy joined the hunt and the poor fox did not have a chance..........it is a little long but watch to the end.

Jessie & Cathlena's European Trip-Day 2

After a long first day, which actually turned into day two - Jessie and Cathlena arrived in Paris, France! Having been up for over 24 hours they checked in to their hotel and took a nap.

After their nap they headed out to explore and to eat!  And what did they choose?  Asian food!!!  Check out the coke can!  Pretty cool looking!

What would a trip to Paris be without a picture of the Eiffel Tower?

Can't wait to see what day 3 brings!
