Happy Birthday to our DIL, Janel!! (and my Gramma)..

Today is our older son's wife, our daughter in law, Janel's birthday. We took over pizza and yummy carrot cake cheese cake to celebrate at their house!

It was a fun time! Toooo much pizza and cheesecake, but ohhh was it ever DEEELICIOUS!



While we were there, John showed us his prized pumpkins he and the boys are growing... he's hoping to get one that weighs more than 500 lbs! It's a competition between himself and a few friends too, so that makes it even more fun!



They are growing pretty good so far... John has limited them to 3 ...but man are the VINES huge and all over the yard!





Not to be outdone...Jake showed me the giant cabbage plant he is growing in a planter on the front porch (he's hoping to win a $1,000 scholarship thru school for this - hope he gets it!!)... he also showed us his collection of toads... ewwww to the toads!!

Anyway...good times with our kids!! ...HAPPY BIRTHDAY JANEL... and many more!! Love you!! xoxox
