May Mayhem!

In a matter of a week or two, its as if I ate my weight in badness. Tasty delicious badness. But, it was all for celebration! And celebration eating doesn't count, right?

Mother's Day. How adorable are they? Brunching at the country club.

Tim's 29th birthday. Monkey Bread beats cake any day!

Pella's Tulip Time. Now, it was nowhere near what we expected. We have heard so many awesome things about it, maybe we got a little over excited, but a two hour drive there wasn't worth it for the tulips, parade stuff, dutchy things, and whatnot. But it is debatable on if it was worth it for Jaarsma's bakery. Blueberry bars, Dutch Letters, Beehives of frosting, an almond crunchy thing, cinnamon roll, this is why the scale hated me this weekend. Tim definitely enjoyed his bologna on a stick though. Good lord, the concept of that title is disgusting. And then came the Poffertjes as he went back to the car. There was powdered sugar EVERYWHERE. But nummers. Times 10.

Throwback Thursday: The Elder Ones!

The back of this card says 4/21/82 "The 1st Arrival." No idea what they were arriving to, but I know that it was a week and a half before Tim was born and three and a half YEARS before I was.

But those in full 80s rock mode, are my grandparents. My grandmother's father died this week, at the crazy age of 98. It was on his 75th wedding anniversary, how poetic is that? There was no surprise, and everyone, including him, was fully ready for the end, but still, its never a happy situation.

You know what IS a happy situation though? The stache that my grandfather is sporting in this....

Return of Throwback Thursday: A Late Mothers Day.

We celebrated Mother's Day quite late this year. Most of us being out of the continent....but we are back for Throwback Thursday.

My lovely mother over 24 years ago...

And us again with Grandma now...
