Steffi's Sweet Sixteen

I can't believe that my little girlie is 16 years old!  

I vividly remember the day she was born.  

She is a light around here.  She is so funny and so compassionate.  I love her with all my heart.

Happy Birthday, Steffi-Bug!!!

(And yes, to those of you who know her birthday wasn't this week--it is a belated posting of her birthday-because I am awesome like that!)

Family Tradition--Breakfast in Bed

Followed by Monster Gifts (happily designed by Maddy)

Cookie Cake (topped with Canadian Smarties)

All she wanted for her birthday was to see her favorite band.  PARAMORE!  She took her sister Maddy and her best friend, Emma.

Our Bishop and his wife sell musical instruments. They needed a pint-sized model for their latest product.

Nicky models it below:

Oy!  I am tickled!

A Little More Like Cary

Because I promised a post...

I saw an interesting blog post recently. Was it interesting strictly because Cary Grant was the subject?

Yes. No. Of course not! How shallow do you think I am anyway?  Don't answer that.

The post was cool, though.  It was counseling all men to strive to be a little more like Cary. 

ahhh...

Now that is cyber advice that I can handle.
