Boise and Birthday Bash

Monday, Vance and I drove to Boise to celebrate Mom's (Grandma's) 77th birthday. It was a gala affair. She requested Vance's infamous BBQ Salmon and garlic mashed potatoes. Joe, Laurie and boys came to celebrate. Stephen hopped up and did the dishes without being asked, I wanted to take a picture and show David how it works :-) Gabe tackled trying to fix some technical problem with Granpa's cable box. We topped it off with an vanilla and chocolate (yes you heard right - chocolate) ice cream cake from TCBY. It was yummy! The picture of mom isn't the great and the photographer is suspect.

Here is a picture of Grandpa settling in on a COLD, low energy day. It's his favorite place to sit and listen to books, watch TV and spend time with Grandma.
