Back to school shopping

We've had a tradition of a back-to-school shopping day since our granddaughter Alaina was going into kindergarten. This tradition now includes Ruby and Cassie! We go out for lunch, buy a pair of shoes and usually try to get another clothing item as well. It's a fun day that we all look forward to.

School is starting here in a little over a week, so last week we had our day out.


Here we all our, ready to head out.






First stop - Culvers for lunch.




Then we went shoe shopping and we were successful!

Shoes for Cassie




Shoes for Alaina






and shoes for Ruby!





Next, we went to Target to look for some tops. The girls saw this hydrant with eyes on it and wanted a picture with it.  It's pretty cute!





Look at these shorts Ruby found!  They aren't my style.   :)





We found tops for each of them.






Our last stop of the day was a little cupcake shop for a treat. We had fun and I know the girls will enjoy those shoes.  It's always a blessing to spend time together!


Bob and I are on a little getaway to celebrate our anniversary and won't be back until the end of the week, so I'll be missing from blogland until next week. See you then!

Connor is two!

It was Connor's birthday on Saturday. I can't believe he's 2 already! We had a party for him on Saturday night, and of course I took a few pictures of that fun event...



Here's our sweet boy before the party started. (He had to have his tools with him)

 



 

I've shared him doing this before, but it's cute so I'm sharing again. We had this little statue in our flower bed in front of the house. Connor calls him "Bubby" which is Connor's nickname. He always goes over to him to say hi.




Heather took cute decorations along for the party.




Pizza is always a hit...






The girls were hanging out on the porch.






Time to open presents!





more tools!






Isn't he a cute fireman?




Then it was time for cake.





and blowing out the candle.





Yum!






Happy Birthday Connor!
