Happy 90th Birthday!

Kevin has the most wonderful Grandma ever. We lived with his Grandparents for two years while he finished school and I became pretty close to both of them. We celebrated Grandma's 90th birthday yesterday. I can't believe she is 90! She doesn't seem old enough to be 90. Here are my reasons why;
... most 90 year olds (even younger) start to lose their mind, not Grandma. She is up to date on the stock market, her politics, and even the Lakers (she has to be with Kevin and Aaron as grandsons). Not only is she up to date, she will argue with Kevin over topics such as politics and Kobe Bryant. Grandma HATES Kobe.
... she makes fresh squeezed orange juice every day... and strains the pulp
... doesn't need a cane or any walking assistance, or perhaps she is just too stubborn to use it.
... She gives GOOD advice, we have asked her her opinon on a various range of topics and in the end I always end up saying, "Grandma is always right!"

I made this icecream cake. My layers aren't perfect, but it tasted RRRRREALLY good. I used to boxes of chocolate cake mix, 1/2 gallon of chocolate chip, 1/2 gallon of mint n' chip, and made chocolate frosting (without creamcheese, for Aaron and Kevin).

Date with the Grandparents

One of our favorite things to do is spend time at Grandma and Grandpa Brown's house. On our way back from visiting my family, we decided to break up the trip and surprise Grandma and Grandpa. When we arrived, guess what they were doing... No, they weren't napping in their chairs... next guess... Grandpa was reading the newspaper in "his" big leather chair. Grandma was in the kitchen trying out a new cookie recipe. Impeccable timing if you ask me... We walked in the house, Hannah and Gavin ran to Grandpa and hit his newspaper. I'm happy he didn't have a heart attack from the surprise. He was so happy to see Hannah and Gavin. I wish I had a picture of his face. Grandma came from the kitchen and gave each kid a big squeeze.
Grandma wanted to take us out to dinner. Since we don't fit in one car, Grandma has to drive too.

We went to Porto's Bakery. They have such good food. Mostly soups, sandwiches, salads, and lots of amazing pastries. Kevin ordered the food with Grandma.

Hannah and I waited with Grandpa.

We love spending time with Grandma and Grandpa. Hannah and Gavin are sad when we don't make our weekly trip to Burbank.
