Happy Birthday Corky #2!

O.K., so guess whos birthday it was this weekend. Thats right, the cake in the picture with a little girl on it, turned 1 year(s) old. It is a Cave tradition that when a baby has its first birthday, they get their own cake. No spoon, no fork, no mommy to feed you, just your hands.

Ellie looked on with utter disgust as Ry pollished of most of the mini delite. The rest of us laughed knowing her day is comming, soon!

Ry (above) is trying to wash down the slab of cake she munched!

I was very impressed with the turn out for the party. I guess when you advertise swimming, B-B-Q, Beer and Cake, you better. Jo-Jo brought the triplets, Tim and Barb came with Grandma, Grandpa and Patty. Jason Cave and Stephanie Foxhoven made an appearance and of course Nana and Papa would never miss it. There were a few others that came and went. Papa was a "pool bully" as usual and Tim had a love affair with a pink water noodle (had to be there for that to make sense).

It was a quick trip home for the K.C. Caves, but a fun one. It is always nice to see the Dean girls and I suppose Kevin and Erin. Mom and Dad tried to bribe us back with the purchase of a new "pillow top" bed for the spare room. It worked, thanks again Mom.

The day finished with a bang! Literally. We set off over $200 in fireworks at the end of the day. Kevin and Erins neighbor let me use his portable propane torch. That was cool. I was able to light 2 and 3 fireworks at a time. I was almost incinerated twice but overall a good time. Thanks again to Erin and Kevin for a great time and to Mom and Dad for the room and board. Who knows, we had such a good time maybe we will see if we can rent the "Dean Family Expierence" for Ellie's Birthday. Something tells me Erin's price would be pretty cheap. Love you all!
