Happy 67th Birthday Dad!

But before we get to the birthday, I have a few pictures of all the yard work Jeromy and the kids did yesterday. Jeromy has been doing some major weeding and really cleaning the place up... I really want to help, but that's not really the kind of work I like to do cause there's bugs involved. But I did laundry and made dinner, and ran 3 miles!

Look how nice this looks, I wish I had some before pictures...Here's Kent and Jade picking up all the piles of weeds that Jeromy picked, they picked up piles all over the house... (can you tell this picture was taken with me inside the house looking thru the window. hahaha)
So this Tuesday is my dad's 67th birthday, and I was trying to think of what we could do, considering ALL of us have different schedules... so we thought we could have dad over for dinner tonight to celebrate his birthday.


Then, I had another GREAT idea: Jade still needed to make one of her dinner's for her Food Science class, so I thought she could make a special dinner for grandpa! I love my great ideas!

Anyway, Jade found a delicious recipe online and with a little tweaking it is now named: "Jade's Mexican Surprise"!!


Here she is with the recipe and the chicken, grandma and grandpa were coming over at 5 for dinner so she got started about 4pm...Here's a little video of her preparing it...

MMMMMmmmm, looks yummy, and it smelled even better while it was cooking...
While dinner was cooking, grandpa and grandpa came, so we took a little walk outside, it was such a nice day...
When we came in, Jade and I shredded the chicken, and then it was time to eat...

Jade Lorraine and Cynthia Lorraine...
After dinner, we visited for a bit to let our stomach's settle before CAKE!!!
My mom said she was enjoying the music, we were listening to the best of the 60's and 70's...
I think we were all ready for some cake...

HAPPY 67TH BIRTHDAY DAD!!

I told my dad there were only 4 candles on this cake, cause we want him to be ready for when he turns 70, cause there WILL be 70 candles, it may take 2 to 3 cakes to get all those candles on it, but we will find a way, happy birthday again!

Hope everyone had a great weekend... can it really almost be October???
