Here's a look back at just a few of the many celebrations from the past several months that didn't make it up on the blog...until now!
Cindy Shriver was feelin' fine with Birthday #59 on April 17th!
Also on April 17th, Digger welcomed The Dirty Thirties.
(Can anyone guess which one he is?)
Mason Martinez, a.k.a. Muscle Man, celebrated his 4th birthday on April 18th!
FIERCE!!!!!
And Mason's uncle, Quincy Crough, had 27 reasons to celebrate on April 19th.
Here he is with sis Sheilah and bro Tony.
Happy (and Totally Belated) 11th Birthday to Kelly Schmieder, daughter of Cara Bridget (White) and Jim. This picture was taken when Kelly was 10, so we'll get an updated one up ASAP and see how Kelly is rockin' age 11!
Miss Bridget Bergin celebrated her 18th birthday on April 27th.
She is also a recent graduate of Shawnee Mission East
and will be heading to St. Louis University in August!
May 17th meant Birthday #32 for Sheilah (Crough) Martinez .
Here she proudly shows off her beautiful kiddos: Braely, Mason and Payton!
Rylie Maguire (along with her parents, John and Bobbi) welcomed their newest roommate on May 19th.
Welcome James Patrick Maguire!!!!
If you haven't seen the Meneley sisters birthday tribute to their Uncle Patrick, check it out!
Also celebrating a birthday (his 22nd) on May 27th was Jacob Crough.
Here are Jake and girlfriend Kandi. Can anyone say, "Ready for the red carpet!"
On May 29th, Andrew Crough and Danielle Seymour said "I Do."
IN A CASTLE...IN IRELAND.
We'll see if we can't persuade Danielle to post some more photos very soon, but here's one to tide you over.
CONGRATULATIONS MR. & MRS. CROUGH!!!!!
On May 31st, Aunt Darlene celebrated a birthday—no doubt spending it with her handsome hubby, Marty (shown here on their wedding day in 2009)
Getting married and having a birthday within days of each other?
Newlywed Andrew turned 29 on June 2nd.
Check out the beautiful Irish background, y'all!
And if you don't think birthdays are anything to celebrate, I'm sure Sheryl Maguire would beg to differ. At 58 (on June 10th), she can still teach a hula hoop a lesson or 2.
Why not soak up a few golden rays on your Golden Birthday?
Luke Ransopher turned 16 on June 16th.
(Anyone else care to join me in the disbelief that the littlest Crough cousin is 16 years old??!!)
And just over a week later, Luke's dad Milo also celebrated a birthday.
The question on everyone's mind: Did he have to eat Luke's leftover cake, or did he get a new one?
Here's a great pic of the entire Ransopher clan: Milo, Matt, Luke and Lisa.
And on June 26th, Ryan "Digger" Kimmel was lucky enough to land the girl of his dreams in a little ceremony in the middle of Kansas.
Some said the bride was "radiant." But those who were there know she was really just radiating...with heat...from a chapel with a broken AC…on a 100ยบ + day.
Patrick Maguire (shown here snuggling his brand new nephew, James Patrick)
turned 26 on June 29th. Congrats Uncle Pat!!!
Happy Belated Birthday to Randy Crough, who celebrated on July 8th.
Here's a classic Crough pic that always makes me laugh:
Grandpa Jim, Randy, Lisa, Pam and Tim.
Ahh...memories of 511 Aullwood.
On July 11th, Matt Ransopher achieved the highest rank attainable within the Boy Scouts organization: he became an Eagle Scout!
Matt also graduated from Shawnee Mission North in May and will be headed to KU in the fall. ROCK CHALK JAYHAWKS!!!
July 23rd spelled BIRTHDAY for Jake Schmieder.
(And this photo spells OUTDATED for me…sorry Jake!)
Until I can round up an updated photo, please
join me in wishing Jake a belated happy birthday!
Surrounded by the beautiful Black Hills of SD and their precious kiddos Easton and Serena,
James Wilson and Kari Ryser tied the knot on July 24th.
One word: WATERFALLS.
(You know it was gorgeous...can't wait to see pics!)
CONGRATS TO MR. & MRS. WILSON!!!!!
It was Birthday #84 for Grandpa Jim on July 27th.
This isn't a recent pic...but definitely one of my favorites.
Classic Gramps with one of his favorite people...Grandma Faye.
Miss Molly Maguire turned 23 on July 28th.
Here she is shown holding her baby, Norm the Chihuahua.
For those who haven't gotten the opportunity to meet Norm yet, you must.
Just make sure you watch your step.
And to end the month, Emma Bergin celebrated her 21st birthday on July 31st.
Emma, hope your birthday was filled with hugs and kisses…from people.
Whew! Just four months have gone by and look at everything I've missed.
And I'm sure there's even more...so feel free to jump on and share what's new with all of you.
Or email me and I'll be happy to post it for you!
Until next time, keep checking in at The Crough's Nest!
Love,
Alyssa
