I'M UP AND RUNNING AGAIN

Finishing Zoe's birthday story.......


I found this photo of Zoe's 3rd birthday party
Her Dad made her a Barbie doll cake!!!!!!!!!!



Zoe looking over to her Dad when she saw the cake



This tray comes in handy
Stephanie changed the name and date for Zoe's day
Card is from Donna Mae
Our family and friends all wait for Donna's card to arrive
She is the Queen of cards!!



Stephanie had a 
HAPPY BIRTHDAY 
sign hanging in the hallway 
and
had a few photos dangling



Cute little kids



While Zoe was out with her Mom her friend Katy and her Dad came over and decorated Zoe's room
Many balloons hanging down from the ceiling

SWEET SURPRISE



Katy's gift to Zoe
Oh....how I remember the stuffed animals when I was a teen



Moby and Madeline joined in on the party



Stephanie's hat......
It actually belonged to my Dad
Stephanie told me she has 3 of Dad's hats
Gee.....he has been gone for almost 32 years
The 'hats' have done well



Hats off to the girls

**********************************
New Year's Night
2013


The Browning family came out for dinner on New Year's Day
Afterward we all went down to the pool room



Papa was a pool shark in his day!!!!!!!!!!
He spent lots of hours at Bates pool hall in Chatham



Does this look right????



Ok Mom show us what you can do



Typical brother!!!!!!!



Concentration
I noticed Beau wearing his hat backwards in the photo with Zoe



Off to the pool and hot tub
HEY
What's with these funny faces????
Like grandfather like grandson



Come on already
Enough is enough!!!!!!!!!



Meet Kelsey
Beau's girlfriend
Sweet sweet girl!!!
A long distance courtship
HA
WE ALL HAVE BATHING SUITS ON
IT MAY NOT LOOK LIKE IT
BUT
WE DO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
