Happy Birthday Marisa!

Wow, can you believe it! This darling daughter of ours is 34 years old, as of February 26, (makes me feel REALLY old haha) It was fun to be able to celebrate Marisa's birthday with her this year. I was in town for Kaylee's baptism and enjoyed the day with Risa and her family.



We had her birthday dinner at Mexi's, a cute restaurant that is one of our favorites. They even brought her some churros and chocolate for her birthday!

Eric is always full of surprises and this birthday he gave her a beautiful mirror for their new home AND the hardware to put it up with, wahoo!! No more finish nails that we usually use to hang her pictures with!

For a lot more fun photos and posts check out Marisa or Janetha' blogs!!

Many, many hearty thanks to my youngest child, Janetha, for helping this poor blog of mine get into the spirit of Spring!!!

This really makes me want to get posting again......if my work wasn't in the way then I could post up a storm! Don't get me wrong, I am SO glad to be busy in this crazy economy.
