Brooke's Party

on Saturday, August 23, 2008






The Flatt and Ryner families joined us last night for Brooke's birthday party. She planned the menu of cheeseburgers, baked beans and chips, corn and macaroni casserole, and Aunt Cathi's strawberry pretzel salad. You know your child is getting old when they don't want any of the trendy stuff on their birthday cakes - no Hannah Montana, no
Camp Rock, no High School Musical- she wanted a basketball! At least she wanted PINK frosting! She got lots of nice things, but she needs to remember to not tell everyone the same thing on her birthday list. One of the big things she wanted this year was an I-Dog. You hook it up to an MP3 player and it dances along with the music - yes, she had to get an MP3 player, too, thanks to Grandma Wanda! Anyway, she didn't get 1 I-Dog.... she got 3!!!! And every single one was different! She got lots of nice gifts and was appreciative of every one!

If your going to have three dogs those are definitely the kind to have, LOW maintenance, easy to train and no food = no pooping. I can't believe Brooke is 10 years old and Rachel is soon to follow. The thought of her being two full hands of fingers makes me want to cry. She is still at the age that she likes me, does pretty much what we ask, thinks I know a few things and wants to be around us. Man, time flies.
