Aubri's 18th Spider Statue Festival - with cats!

It's been a few weeks since I've posed here so I thought I would catch up on what's been going on!

Aubri celebrated her 18th birthday on September 8th at the Tatoo parlor.

All the tatoos (except Tom)
We didn't have Tom here to show off his but all the rest of them have it now... I'm next!

We took her to Joe's Crab Shack for her birthday dinner (her choice) and they made her walk around the table with a stick horse while we sang happy birthday to her. They wanted her to skip around the table and wear a cowboy hat but she wouldn't do it!

Then we had cheese cake for dessert. Meghan also made her a big cupcake just for her.

The next weekend Bill and I poured the concrete so that we could finally get the statue that we bought last October set up in the Hawthorn grove:

The next weekend we went to the HooDoo festival in Western Kentucky. It was the first time Aubri had seen the new camper. It rained on Friday night so we were very glad to have the camper!

This past week Aubri caught two of the cats all cuddled up together on a chair - this is the closest they have ever slept together. They usually just tolorate each other!

This past weekend Bill and I found this little gal on a tarp in the yard... that is a quarter next to it. It's a baby Tarantula!

And here is what we did this weekend - we set the lady on her concrete pad in the Hawthorn Grove!

I think you are all caught up now! :)
