The kids all hung out on the tramp and were... well.. kids! This is their "goofy" pose.
This is Hayley's friend Amanda... they've been pal-ing around the past couple of summers and Hayley went camping with her and her family this weekend right after the joint birthday party.
This is Tanja, Karen, Jill and my sister Sharon (in front). Tanja flew in to surprise Karen, another reason for the weekend party... as if we needed another one!
Karen and Joe... our extended family. We've been through a lot together over the past eight years. Sure glad we're not moving too far away.
"You have one more bite before cake missy..." This is Karen's three-year-old daughter Trinda.
Make a wish!
The birthday girls!

Lovely photo of Ian in the last post, and so many beautiful, happy faces here. What richness!
It's a great time to celebrate Stevie, and I'm so happy for you. You're one who knows the true value of good friends, and I'm still thrilled about the house, whatever you end up calling it.
(We have a dream to build a house on top of the hill down at our place on the coast. As it's just an elusive dream at this stage but one to be pursued, we call it "The Hilly Grail".)
You can see by all the photo's that everyone had a great time.
Happy Birthday to hayley and Karen!. That cake looks scrum too.
I'm sure there will be partys a plenty in the new home too, can't wait for you to move in. Will be expecting a virtual tour via video cam Missy!..
Oh and love the picture of your lovely Ian, he looks like a sweetheart, thats why you love him :0)..
Lol at Margies Hilly Grail..you have to do that now Margie!..
Hilly Grail! LMAO!
It was a fun day, and there will be lots and lots of happy gatherings at the new home, just as there have beenmany here... and one day, I hope I hope I hope, you will all see the new house in person!
But yes, I will do my best to provide you with a video tour Gypsy!
Oooh, I made up that icing for the cake when I was shopping... probably been done by others already, but it did come out nice...I whipped cream cheese fluffy, added half can of cherry pie filling,whipped it some more, then folded in whipped cream.
It was whipping, it was.
Congratulations on your new purchse!
Kansas will suit you...
It's a bittersweet feeling for me, as I'm trying to sell our own home. It's not easy.
I love the photo of Karen and Joe!
Happy Birthday, Hayley and Karen!
Wow! Your sister looks JUST like you!!
erm...the hair is a wee bit different...
Hilly Grail. Whoop! LMAO and Amen! On with the quest....clopclop clopclop clopclop...
Stevie, you switched pictures....now that one must join my iPhoto collection, too!
It looks like it was a wonderful party! Hayley says she had a great time and I can sure tell she did from the photos.
It puts my heart at ease that she is doing so well. It's all very good for her, as I know this entire experience of living with you and her dad this next year will be....but damn I miss her!
Karen looks so YOUNG!
...and just wondering...was there any cake under that yummy frosting?
Happy birthday to the girls!
Your sister is a dead ringer- just needs a new hairdo!
Ian does look great in the last post, and it's always nice to see so many happy faces.

Um, nevermind about the switching photos thing. I thought you put a higher res image in but...my bad.
What a fun time Stevie. The kids look so happy and your friends too. No need to say happy birthday to Hayley and Karen, cos it's clear that they were...happy, that is!
I always have this feeling that you live in such a close commnity there, and that much of that is down to you dear. You draw people to you, and that is a great gift.
Great idea for a great day Stevie. Bless you!
aw gee Val... yer making me blush!
I'm really an ogre though you know, I should tell you.
Rache, did you mean my profile photo? It's the same, but I did change the profile info...
