Happy Birthday, Great Grandma


 We held a birthday party for my Grandma at the end of September. She's turning 93 in October! My grandma didn't want a birthday party, so we told her we were having a family reunion. She was okay with that. :) All of my aunt's and uncle's came and most of my cousins. It was good to see everyone and catch up. We had a lot of good food and of course, cake.
 Mia, Jude, and Riley. They're best buds--most of the time.

 Riley and Evan (Amber's little boy.) I love having so many little ones running around. They have so much fun together.
 Margaret (Jenna's little one.) She's got quite the personality. She's outgoing, curious, and very loud! She's so cute.


 My brother, Nate, smashed cake in my dad's face. We all gasped and held our breath. Nate was lucky that the room was full of people.


 Here's a picture of my grandma with all of the grandkids. She tripped and fell a couple of days before the party and ended up with two big black eyes.
 Here's my grandma and the great-grandkids. There were still quite a few missing.

My beloved family. From left to right, Amber, Jenna, me, Sarah, my mom, my dad, my grandma, Nate, Will, and Kelly. I love them so much!

Concord Grapes

 It's that time of year again. The concord grapes are ready to be picked. It seems that we get a good amount every other year. Last year we didn't get much, and this year we got a ton. The kids love helping out.



 I love the different colors. All sorts of different shades of purples.










We give the grapes to Grandma Andrea. She makes jellies and grape juice from them.
