VCC Rocks!

My hubby goes to a really cool bike shop. Not just a cool bike shop, a rockin' bike shop. These guys are awesome. This summer, they have loaned a tandem to Ross and Davis so they could ride together during a couple of the Tuesday Night Rides they have. Davis has LOVED it.

Well, one night when they got done with the ride, Davis said something like "When you're in a car, you can't really see anything, because you're going to fast, and when you're walking everything seems so far away, but when you're on a bike, you're just right". Well, Mike, at Velo City Cycles used him as a quote on their new t-shirts. Keep in mind, these t-shirts are a big deal. Once they are gone, they don't do another run. Sometimes people BEG him to do another run of a t-shirt, and he won't do it. Everyone loves these shirts. They just rock. Anyway, Davis is the first "local" to have a quote on one of the VCC shirts. How awesome is that? So here's the shirt...(in orange, since that's his favorite color!)

And below, here is Mike giving him the shirt. I don't think he quite got it at first, but as it started to 'sink in' he was feeling pretty good about himself.

When we were walking to the car, Davis said "Mom, I think it's pretty cool that I'm the first one with the t-shirt". Meaning, he was the first 'local'. I think he was very proud. So guess what my next purchase is? LOL I guess it's time for our family to have matching t-shirts. ;)

A Wonderful Party...

We planned a 40th Wedding Anniversary Party for my in-laws, and the day was WONDERFUL. The weather was beautiful. Perfect, in fact. Lots of friends and family came, and I thought it turned out great. My sister in law rented a popcorn machine, and the kids loved it! You can always entertain children with food. :)

Here's the in-law's with their gifts and the grandkids. My sister in law had the kiddos do handprints on tiles to make a table for them. I made the family tree....See this post if you haven't seen it. They look happy to me. :)

Here they are with all of the 'stuff'. :)

If you can see behind them, those are the dresses from the wedding. How cool is that? The pink one was the junior bridesmaid's and the white one was the flower girls. Here's a closeup. I just think they are gorgeous.

Her dress was in the corner, but I didn't get a good pic. :( It was a lot of fun to see all of that stuff. My parents were divorced when I was about 8, so I don't even remember my mom's wedding ring. It was fascinating to me to see it all, with the wedding album.

Besides being thier 40th anniversary on the 13th...my mother in law had her 60th birthday the day before the party. I decided we at least had to recognize it at the party...so I bought this cake. I got it from DAISYS & dots. She is AMAZING. It was perfect. We already had 2 traditional cakes and 2 pies, so we needed something different. I was THRILLED. You should check out her site. Can you tell I was happy? LOL It is comprised of 50 boxes that you can open and put in whatever you want. I filled them with hard candy that wouldn't melt in the sun.

Overall I was very happy with the day. We got to see family and friends we don't usually see, and my mother in law and father in law seemed happy, which was the best part.
