September 17th And We Celebrate Pete, Lis, Zack, and Nick At ORCC
Great time for Colleen and Calhan to visit as we have our annual September Birthday blast with the family. Please join the fun!
Today's birthdays (in age order) are Lisa (sorry girl), Pete, Zachary, and Nick. Felipe is in there somewhere!
We met at Old Ranch Country Club on Saturday afternoon where it is quiet and we have a great view.
Birthday Quote To Remember: -
May ev'ry birthday sweetly bring,
A thousand proofs of love;
A pure and perfect crystal spring
Of bliss from Heav'n above!
~George Wells, Golden Wishes, 1885
We await the herd...
"Hey... It is warm and sunny here! I must be home"
The babies have two speed! Stop and 90 miles an hour with breaks for eating!
Becca and Zack watch the varmints
Calhan visits his Aunt Becca
Mothers... Count your kids when you leave... Irene is here!
Quite a conversation underway!
"Look Miss Irene...
People hitting a little white ball with a stick!"
Three cuties!
One proud Grandpa
"My hands are full"
Decisions decisions!
Peace and quiet

Listening intently
Not so sure
"Who? Me?"
"Now I have the energy to chase both of them!"
" M-m-m-m-m-m-m What should I do? "
"Are you sure I can't take one home with me?"

"Calhan! You ready to rumble?"
"I will take it easy on you Grandpa!"
"Transfer in progress"
"OK Gramps.... Let's go!"
"It's OK, I only have 354 more pictures to go!"
Bob is surrounded by "The Grandma Gang"
"Oh oh... Pete seems to be out of breath!"
Gotcha! Look at those smiles!
Thank you Robin... Calhan about wore me out!
"Watcha doing Nick?"
Time to eat... Lilly will provide assistance!
Zack is saving his energy so he can blow out the candles!
What is this in front of me?
"Yes... I do talk to my wine"
... and the wine talks to her!

Representing almost 150 years of age... We won't give any ages away!
Calhan is off and running!
Who has the biggest smile? Grandpa Pete or Baby Calhan?
"I am Mighty Mouse"

Always room for one more.... Happy Birthday Felipe!

We told Lisa's age out loud and the candle exploded!
Fortunately... We brought in a ringer.... Our own wind machine!
