It’s May, which means it’s Valley AEYC Annual Dinner time! This year the dinner was held at the Melting Pot – a fondue restaurant I’ve wanted to try for a while. The committee chose a Pampering theme, and had a box of luscious truffles at each place setting. …
I admit it’s totally my fault. I took this adorable photo of Little Guy and Buddy watching the Backyardigans together. Then I put my camera back on the kitchen counter and walked away. See? Totally my fault for leaving my camera where Little Guy could reach it. Apparently…
As soon as Uncle Jay and Dee got engaged the rest of the family jumped in to help them plan. Whether they liked it or not. Since Irish Girl had done such a great job with Princess and Cowboy’s flowers, I volunteered her to do Uncle Jay and Dee’s flowers.…
