Happy Birthday Teddi My baby is 26

Well we had a wonderful camp out and cooked dutch oven chicken for Teddi's birthday. It was really a lot of fun. Charlee, Tony, and I dug a fire pit out back and started the charcoal and had the chicken and potatoes almost done by the time Teddi, Donnie and kids got here from Vegas. We had a wonderful dinner that included Olatha sweet corn, salad, and German choc cake. It was funny after we sang happy birthday and blew out the candles, I turned around to go get some dessert plates and Gordy took the knife and just hacked the cake to pieces. It was so darn funny. I said well that will make it easier for Teddi to "bite it" The only thing that could have made it better was if Cliff and Toby were here but I guess ya can't have everything!


We played outside with the kids and then set up the tents. We set up two cause we thought we'd need them, but Gordy wasn't having any of the camping in a tent thing. She wanted to go home to "Mama's house" She must have some of her Grandma in her. I had the best of it all, I got to sleep in the house with Harlee. We put her in the spare bedroom and she didn't make a peep all night. I finally got up about five and went to the bathroom and she stirred a little when I flushed the toilet. The minute I heard her peep I was on her in a minute. I made her a bottle and got her in bed with me and just played with her and loved her and stole at least a hundred kisses. Teddi came in the house about 7 clock and reclaimed her but it was heaven while it lasted.

Our delicious dutch oven meal. So glad Mom and Dad taught me how to make "real" dutch oven food. Some I see is really just steamed but ours is done right and is so crisp and good.



Olivia was so excited about camping out and telling scary stories. I am so happy we have this place with the big yard. It's so nice with the grand kids , it's all fenced so we can turn them loose and they have so much fun at Big Daddy's and Big Mama's. Hopefully they will remember the wonderful times we've had as a family.

Teddi and Tony still wrestling and I mean STILL. This has been going on since he was little. He's more like her little brother I think.
