Milestone Birthdays

So, I'm going a little out of order....but I thought I'd do one big post for the milestones we've been fortunate to be a part of the past few months!

First, on May 19th Lance's Dad Garry turned 75!!!  Some yard fairies visited during the night...and here is what he woke up to!  Happy Birthday, Garry!

 

Our next "Big" birthday was my Gran's birthday!  Gran turned 90 on July 5th, but we celebrated on the 3rd with almost the whole family.  (Unfortunately, Lance wasn't able to come)

 Love how Gran has her hand on Grandaddy!  :)

 Me and my Grandparents!

 Gran, Grandaddy and their "kids": Mary Ann, Nancy (Mom), Jimmy and Chuck.

The whole family that was present at the birthday!

Our final MILESTONE was my Grandaddy Napier turned 101!!!!  No, that was not a typo....he's 101.  He didn't play golf this year on his birthday (it's been WAY too hot!), but he enjoyed an entire weekend of celebrations.

 First party: at my parents house with our entire family!

Michael and Grandaddy

 Our next celebration: the Cloisters, his condo association, had a celebration.  It was very nice...here is Grandaddy conducting the "happy birthday" song! 

 101---and cutting his own cake!

 What a handsome man!

 The woman behind him---Caroline.  Thanks Caroline for keeping Grandaddy young!  You are a great team!

 :)

 The four Don's: Don I (Juan), Don II, Don III, and Don IV.  AWESOME.

Catching Up...

It's been a while since I've posted...and there has been LOTS of fun in our lives!!!
Attached are a few pictures from some fun times...
Mom and I took my nephew, Donald, to the zoo back in March.  We had a blast, and he loved seeing the monkeys, giraffes and loved the petting zoo.  Donald does not like to stand still....but here is a quick shot I got!

 Feeding the giraffes, this is right before he announced: "I scared!  I scared!!!".  :)  I'm glad he is articulate and can express himself!

 A few weeks later, the Cupit "Men" had a Church camp out to attend, so the ladies came over for dinner and some fun out back!  Here is Laurel with a marshmallow we were about to roast. 

 And Laney, a happy camper with smores all over her precious face!

 Above: Laurel very serious about roasting marshmallows!

We also took a trip out to Pappy's Strawberry patch where we met up with our friends Suzanne and Joey and their little tyke, Tyler.  The strawberries were AWESOME!  I had fun making pies and we enjoyed eating all of the pickings.

 When Lance does something....he does it with a purpose.  Picking strawberries was no different.  Let's put it this way...if there was a race, Lance would win hands down. :)

More on the Hicklin happenings soon!
