Happy Birthday Mom/Aunt Kathy!

Happy Birthday Mom/Aunt Kathy!
We had a nice celebration on Sunday night, 3/7, with Beth, Scott and the kids (John was on a flight to Frankfurt and then Paris/London for the week). KAR lit the candleswith her mom's help and we all blew them out. Yummy chocolate cake! Thanks Beth, Scott, and the trio! On my actual birthday (Monday), I got to chaperone a fieldtrip to the public works department.  We're studying different types of transportation so on our way there, we rode the lightrail train (need to log in to Flickr to see this photo). At the public works, we saw how street signs are made, how the workers rescue lost items from pipes, and how they evacuate the water when the pipes need it.  We also got to see how the cherry picker, street sweeper andother large equipment work.  I learned a ton in the process too :-) AND I got to spend my time with these two cuties so it was a good birthday indeed :-).
