Golden Jubilee

On August 14, 2010 "Nanny's Kids" got together to celebrate Carl and Glynda's 50th wedding anniversary (officially coming up on Sept. 3.)  We took the photo at the begining... then ate Ziti, toasted Carl & Glynda, told stories and shared memories of their 50 years (until it got dark out) then cut the cake!!!  Since a picture is worth a thousand words, please see my novel below.
















Special thanks to everyone who jumped in and made this party so amazing!  Aunt Lyn and Uncle Bill for letting us gather at your home (again) and providing tables, chairs, tablecloths and napkins; Lisa for making the delicious and beautiful cakes; Lori for the center pieces and memory books; Gina for the ziti (you're the queen!!!); Uncle Bruce for being the best man 5 decades ago, and sticking around to tell about it; and Carl & Glynda for making it to 50 years!!!!  And to the rest of the family, thank you so much for coming and celebrating.  I love you all so much, and am so thankful that we're kin!  
Love, Carla

The Mako Carnival


On Friday we Myers girls went to the Mako School Carnival (the mako is a shark and Vista Del Mar's mascot.)  Alison had won tickets at school that day and was very excited to get to the jungle and "chaos" bounce houses.  The girls had their face and/or hands painted when we first got there.  Then Rachel and I enjoyed the music of the Jr. High band and 5th grade choir before Gina, Alison and Samantha joined us to eat their treats.  Alison and Samantha climed the rock wall, and we used up the last of our tickets at the Cake Walk.  Rachel was very ready to be out of her stroller by this time, and was looking for the "candy" that Sammy had promised would be abundant.  She kept walking me back and forth to the cake table to check it out while we waited in line.  When it was our turn to do the walk, we had to split up - Ali and I went, and WAHOO, we won cake.  Rachel picked "two bite" cupcakes wtih yellow frosting.  She grasped them passionately and kept saying "I won cake!"  It was way cute.
