Happy Birthday Mom-Mom, Two Mom-Mom, Aunt Norene and Aunt Karen (who was MIA)

We went over to Mom-Mom's house to celebrate a belated birthday for Mom-Mom, Aunt Karen and Two Mom-Mom's birthday tomorrow and Monday, and an early birthday for Aunt Norene. Karen wound up being sick though so no cake for her (thinking Soup Natzi there, lol).

Cake for MEEEEEEEE???

Someone call the fire department!

Spanning the generations
Aunt Norene is the oldest in our family and Katie is the youngest.
Speaking of spanning generations, the dress Katie is wearing was my mom's! Me, Karen, Maddie and now Katie have all worn it and it's still in great condition. Aunt Norene bought it for my Mom 50-some years ago. I think she got her money's worth!

(We sung to Two Mom-Mom but Pop was behind the lens and didn't get a pic of that.)

Something tells me Katie doesn't want the Momarazzi to take any more pictures. (By the way, she was in the closet because they were playing hide-n-seek.)

Snuggling
Katie's french braid from earlier in the day which gave her the "crinkly" hair tonight. I was surprised she sat to let me do it but she was really good and excited about her pretty braid.

Uncle Jack Memorial Fishing Trip

Every year we go on a fishing trip run by the Jim Junod club. The trip is in memory of my Uncle Jack who was a member before he passed away in 1998. My Uncle Joe still belongs to the group and so we venture out on this 8 hour fishing trip each year. The company is always good, but the weather and fishing are not always so great, lol. This year the weather was beautiful and the water was calm (not like last year when Chris begged to be attacked by a shark rather than have to stay on the boat, lol). The fishing was pretty good too. Lots of people were catching fish - someone caught a 5lb flounder! I caught 5 fish, Karen caught 16, and Jen caught 8. Not sure how many Kevin, Uncle Joe and Steve caught as they were down the line from me but they did have some catches too. Out of all of our catches though, only 2 were keepers - both caught by Karen. All I got to keep was a NASTY sunburn! It was only 7am when we left and I thought "oh, I'll put on sunblock in a little bit". Well, I got involved in fishing and totally forgot until it was already way too late! By Sunday, it didn't look so bad but on Sat night... Oh my goodness, I looked like a tomato!!! Two new "victims" (Jen and Steve) joined us this year and Jen had a great time but Steve joined the ranks of Joseph, Chris, Chrissy, and John. He was a trooper though and still fished and tried his best to fight off feeling sea sick. Hope they'll both join us again next year! :-)

As our guys would say... Sea Hags! LOL
