Aunt Kate is a Quarter of a Century Old

Birthday season continues in the Browning house. We celebrated Kate's 25th birthday with dinner and a great cake that the birthday girl herself made.

Eatting dinner.

Bass Pro Shop

Our Bass Pro Shop finally opened and it is amazing. The restaurant is wonderful and has a huge saltwater fish tank. The store also has a 2 story waterfall that empties into another fish tank with... yup, you guessed it, BASS (and catfish)! The store provides about 2 hours of entertainment for Olivia and Peter.

Our 2008 Crop

The tomoatos we planted in the back yard have yielded approx 10 tomatos, but the peppers (jalepanos, habaneros and cowhorns) have yielded approx 20-30 each. Here are a few pictures of our plants.

No Way That's By Ginny & Olivia Ford!

Olivia and I have been drawing outside all summer long. When she wants to go outside she stands at the front door saying "side...color, color, color, color!!!" Lately she has voiced a few special requests when we go out to draw. She has a new love for "Memo" aka Nemo and I draw him almost every time for her. Here are some of the drawings we have done recently. Hope you enjoy!

"Uncle Jacee!"

One of Peter's friends since grade school, Jason, comes over to our house every once in a while to watch a sports event, eat dinner and play with Olivia. Olivia loves to see him and has so much fun when he is here. Since Olivia is more talkative now than the last time she saw him, she has given him her own name. According to Olivia, Jason will from here on be referred to as "Jacee!" He tolerated her calling him that and even acknowledged her when she called him!

Eastern Shore Fountain

As you can tell, we love to go to the Eastern Shore Center Fountain. We've been going about once a week and everytime we go, we try to get a group together. That way, Olivia has kids to play with and I have moms to chat with while we're there! We also love to have lunch at Chick-Fil-A after playing!!

Backyard Fun

With gas being so high, we have been hanging out around the house. We love swimming in our blue pool and eatting "sicles." And her swimsuit was on sale at Target for under $4!! :)

Fountain Fun at Night

We took Olivia up to the fountain at night. It was nice becuse it wasn't hot and she was one of five kids there!

SASSY!!!

Uncle Andrew's Birthday Dinner

We went to my parent's house for Andrew's birthday. We had a great dinner and a wonderful cake. It was nice to see him before he had to head back to Ann Arbor.

Sporting pigtails!
How cute is she!!
