And they celebrate another year older together...Happy Birthday Mama and Billy!

Bill was born on his mom's birthday....Back in the day...as the story goes...Shirley went into labor that day...and drove herself to the hospital that afternoon to bring Bill into the world. Giving a phone call later to Gaylord that he has another son...Nothing like how we have it these days...Birthing centers..in room baby stays...dad's assisting in everything but Cesearan's...She has 5 children. Bill is 3rd in line. But it still amazes me to have this gift on your birthday. She is an amazing mama to all her kids. She's an awesome Grandma to all of our kids. The cake I brought. Baskin Robbin's Mint Chip with Chocolate cake. Yes that's right. YUM!

The birthday love-bugs... and Troy on the right....

The sun hid from us on Supercross Saturday...But on Sunday for Bill and Shirley's bbq it came out. Super sweet. Perfect for bbq'n. (It was still freezing though, always on the water in winter..)

Our BBQ Queen. Vicki did an awesome job putting together all the sides for yummy hot-links, and Polish Dogs...there was grilled onions, sauerkraut, bellpeppers stirred fried with onions. And all the salad sides.

Toasty yummy buns....

So as the photographer blogger that I am...as I'm cleaning the kitchen in preparation mode for cake, I look over and see Gaylord preparing coffee for everyone. He always so sweetly puts this little addition out..and it just made my heart melt to think of the years he's celebrated for his wife, for his son...working so hard for them to give all of them a strong sense of self. He's raised every one of his kids to be hardworking, successful and tenacious in everything they do. Cheers Gaylord!

Bill's sissa Sandra! She's the baby of the clan....with 3 girls and 1 son of her own...and all athletes...
