Birthday Bounty
Today is Laura's 2nd birthday!
We had chocolate chip pancakes for her birthday breakfast.
She opened gifts after the mail came.
We had spaghetti for lunch.
Here she is with her cake. I'll have to see if I can upload the video Tracy took of Laura trying to blow her candles out.
She's playing with her balloon from friends and with her blanket they gave her.

Baby Shower
Last night we had a baby shower for my friend with the twins. I forgot my camera so didn't get pictures to share.
We played two games, gave out a door prize, had a devotion, and had a prayer for the babies and family. They got so many cute outfits and even some diapers when gift opening time came.
The cake was cute, and sadly, I found out that it was the second one. The first was set on the table with all the chairs pulled away. The family left only to return to find out that their dog had jumped onto the table anyway... End of cake #1... :(

Ski Trip
Here are a few pictures of the ski trip we FINALLY got to go on yesterday (after being canceled three other times.)
We got to see old friends, meet new, and even greet friends we've seen elsewhere and had to "place."
Tracy with Laura on her shoulders. (Something I would have done when I was a teenager but am too "scared" to do it now!!!)
Tracy got to try out a friend's snowboard for about 20 minutes.
Laura wasn't too sure once she started gliding on her own, but she wanted to put Melissa's skis on SOOOOO badly!

Two Tall Men
Okay. Here it has been over a week...Sigh...Too much farming on Facebook and farming on Farming Frenzy... (I'm almost done with the Farming Frenzy game though.) :)
Friday I went to Grand Forks with a friend and was able to stock up on some food at Sam's Club. I believe in promoting our small town groceries, but I also believe in saving money when possible. I am so very thankful for our little grocery store. If I watch the sales, I can get food just as cheaply as most other people. They will also order large quantities for me if I ask for no extra charge or hassle or guilt trip so I don't have to feel guilty about emptying their shelves on the sales--they just give me a case.
Anyway, in Thief River Falls we stopped at the bread store. A man came in; he had to duck through the doorway. I didn't think much of that because I have a few friends that have to be careful in doorways. However, when he stood to full-height he was HUGE!!! If I would have raised my arm into the air, he would have towered over it. If I go again, I'll have to bring my tape measure because he was about four inches from the ceiling. I'm really curious...
While in Grand Forks at one of the stores, I saw another man who was tall. He wasn't quite as tall as the other one, but I would have had to raise my arm quite a ways above my head to touch his chin.
It makes me wonder because the first man was just driving a van like I was. I didn't notice his legs, but I can't even move our seat far enough back in our van to drive comfortably. I wonder how cramped he was and if he had to duck to see out the front window.
Anyway, we stopped at the Panda Buffet again, and this time I ended up trying the octopus. Quite by mistake, I must admit. I don't care what kind of fancy name they give it (I can't even remember,) but I will never willingly eat it again. It was chewy (rubbery sort-of) with a nasty flavor in my opinion. I about gagged, and even though I chewed and chewed and chewed, I couldn't get it to break down so just ended up swallowing it whole. Blech... (shudder here) :) I do not think less of you if you eat it, but please don't offer it to me!!!!! :)
