Bar-B-Q at mom's

On Saturday we all got together to help my mom finish up the last few things at her new house. The kids watched a movie while they were waiting for dinner.

Rob and Joe hung the new front door. Joe really is on the other side of the door.

Yvonne was helping Dan with swinging the fridge and freezer doors to open on the right side.

The girls finished unpacking the bedroom.

So what do you do when you have no candles to sing to your son? You use a match of course.

We didn't think we should put 13 on his cupcake. We made due with two.

Happy Birthday Jeremy!!

Jeremy turned 13 on May 26th. He was so lucky to get to attend Emily's last band concert on his birthday. Before we went we let him open his presents. He got everything on his list.

Emily bought him sour gummy worms and a new swimsuit.

We got him a new bike helmet and some Cheez-its. He has discovered a new love for these little crackers. I could never get either one of my kids to eat these until now. Now I can't keep them in the house.

Jeremy also got this years Grammy CD. He loves getting this CD every year. As you can see he also got his favorite snacks Skittles and Starburst.

My aunt and cousin met us for lunch at Rain Forest Cafe' and enjoyed a meal and lots of conversation. Jeremy was sung to by the staff and enjoyed a sundae in honor of his birthday.

OWWW!! My Elbow!

This is Emily laying on the floor in the dining room. She was dusting the server when her elbow popped and she started writhing in pain on the floor. Jeremy being the loving brother said " I know CPR...I mean first aid." At that Emily burst out laughing so Jeremy, being the comedian, proceeded to give her arm CPR compressions. He then got her an ice pack and checked her pulse. I on the other hand made her get up and finish dusting.

Mowing the lawn

Jeremy is old enough and big enough to run the lawn mower. He is not, however, capable of mowing in a straight line. We have what looks like crop circles only in grass.

Tiger's game

On Emily's actual birthday Rob snagged baseball tickets so off we went to Comerica park. You have to take a picture in front of the huge Tiger out front.

We made Emily stand in front of the score board.

Too bad the Tigers lost 10 - 1. Rob and Jeremy had fun eating peanuts.
