Gandolfos and turning 39

My big brother has been working so hard this last year on getting his business up and running here in town.  My dad bought the building and they completely gutted it out and pretty much redid everything themselves. 
I got a couple pictures while my mom and I went down for a few hours to help out one night.  It's been fun to see it evolve and turn into a fun place to eat and hang out.  I need to get some more of the finished product. 

The store has definitely been a family affair, here my cousin Darren helps out and mom is in the background trying to decide where to clean next.  It was fun working together and seeing the whole project evolve.  Opening week ended up being a huge success and was the busiest in Gandolfo's history.  All the hard work definitely paid off.

This last weekend we had a birthday boy and no it wasn't cowboy.  I made a big strawberry jello cake with fruit on the top and we enjoyed every last bite!  I love hanging out with my family on Sunday's such a relaxing way to end the week and to prepare for another one.  It hasn't been too windy so it's nice to sit on the front porch and watch Cowboy try to win 5 dollars by hitting a ball over the fence like his dad promised.

Cowboy is such a hard worker, always work to be done, he was a big help when we were pouring cement the other day too and kept asking his dad to give him a job.

Mom just keep giving me some of that cookie and you can have all the kisses you want!

I love the Macey isn't too big yet to sit on laps, she still loves to cuddle and hug a lot.

Seriously how many trucks does this kid have, this looks like a big construction operation good thing Grandma is willing to give up her planter so Caleb can go to work each day.

Now she's suspicious that I might have a cookie for her too.

Although it was my hubby's birthday the kids also blew out a candle.  Caleb has been creating his own styles lately, usually his soccer socks are pulled up to his upper thighs, worn under shorts. 

This kid is seriously hard to say no to, so, so sweet and hilarious.  The other day we pulled up to the house and he was upstairs in the bonus room singing out the window to Dave and I... 
"Hello you guys,  I love you!"
