Happy 90th Birthday Grandma!

We celebrated Joe's grandma's 90th birthday on Saturday night at Beachwood. We all had lovely neon yellow shirts on, but grandma didn't know about the shirts ahead of time, so we had to come with them covered up...yeah, not real easy to cover up NEON YELLOW! The little kids lucked out that theirs didn't come in neon yellow, so they got white.


Here's Layla covering hers up (and Joe in the background). Grandma didn't notice the shirts while they were hidden (it was dim lighting), but she did notice that we all looked hot since many people were wearing sweatshirts or fleeces to cover them up:-).



After prayer we had the "big reveal" of shirts:-). Here's Grandpa and Layla...


We then enjoyed a very filling meal. Steve decided he didn't want to smile normal for any of the pics I took of him and Heidi...I warned him I would post his dumb pics on my blog:-).



Grandma was given a neon orange shirt to wear. Here she is with the youngest great-grandchild, Isabelle. Isabelle was born on Memorial Day. I give Paula a lot of credit for coming to her husband's family party only 5 days after giving birth!


I don't think the pics even truly show just how bright these shirts were--I'm thinking mine might come in handy in case I ever take up running and want to go running at night:-). Layla was having fun pulling my hair in the pic--she has quite the strong grip! Here is a group shot of everyone (for some reason my flash didn't go off)...


The grandkid pic...

Top row (L-R): Erik and Christi, Paula, Steve and Heidi,

Middle Row: Matt and Kate, Rachael, Grandma, Joe, Mark

Bottom Row: Phil (Paula's hubby), me, Cindi (Mark's wife)

Layla enjoyed time playing with her cousins (or 2nd or 3rd or whatever they are)...

And stealing their toys (of course)...

Layla share a birthday with Grandma. It's kind of random that on this side of the family 3 pairs of people share birthdays. Layla was born on Grandma's birthday, Spencer was born on Joe's dad's birthday, and on Memorial Day, Isabelle was born on Kate's birthday!

The June 4 Birthday Girls!

Layla discovered the balloons:-)

Grandma with the great-grandkids...

Top Row: Camryn, Cassidy, Isabelle (Oops-you can't see her head! Sorry Isabelle!) Grandma, Layla

Bottom Row: Lawrence, Spencer

Everyone (except Lawrence) apparently noticed something to their left...

And then to their right:-)...

Yea! You can see all their faces!

Paula, me and Heidi (again for some reason the flash didn't go off)...
