Norm 's 50th Birthday !!!!

HAPPY 50TH BIRTHDAY NORM !! We celebrated Norm's birthday Friday with friends and family. It was a lot of fun!!! Happy birthday to Norm and Bethany today!!!!






There were 50 candles on his cake- good thing Madison was there to help him blow out the candles.


Norm got lots of NASCAR gifts.


Don had to help Norm read the cards because Norm has "fifty year old eyes" now.

A very surprising gift Norm received from his family was a gift to do "The Petty Experience". He gets to drive an actual Nascar race car. He was very excited, (but Mark was very jealous). But after a short time Karen presented mark with the same gift so the two of them could go together. They were both VERY excited. (see karen's blog for Norm's facial expression when he opened the gift).

A day in the life of.......me

I haven't blogged for awhile so I thought I would let you see how I have been spending my days....working of course.(and also helping to plan a wedding). These are just a few pics of my days at work.

Lunch breaks are ALWAYS fun.







Ken, these pictures are for you and Cheryl. The doctors that I work for bought a new whippet puppy. Her name is Zola. They are house breaking her so they have it at work with them. She is about 4 months old in this picture. She has a great temperment, and we really love having her in the office.

Hibernating

Since the beginning of the year we have been doing a lot of hibernating. It has been COLD and SNOWEY!! I'm ready for winter to be done. (Joni and Charlie, I'm sure you can relate). Norm even had to snow blow the pool so when the snow melted it didn't go into the skimmer and ruin it. Michigan winters.........you gotta love them.

A teenager no more

Our baby boy is now 20 years old. Happy Birthday Matt!!!!




He had a hard time blowing out ALL of those candles.
