Happy Happy Birthday!

My baby boy turned 9 today. We celebrated by inviting a couple of his friends to the movies and coming home for some cake and ice cream.

Happy Birthday Elijah!

Catching up!

It has been awhile since I have blogged. I have quite a bit to tell you all. No life changing news....just a lot going on. Garrett (our oldest) celebrated his 13th birthday in May, shortly after my last post. I certainly don't feel old enough to have a teenager. It helps that he doesn't act any older than 2 most of the time!

Here is the one okay photo of him with his cake.
(notice the tealight....I didn't have birthday candles. Classy huh?)

Scripture Olympics

The following weekend we had a Primary activity at church for the kids age 3-12. I was in charge of this one (we have 4 a year) and we picked "Scripture Olympics" as the theme.

The kids had a blast shooting "Goliath" with marshmallows

and "Samuel the Lamanite" with water balloons.

We had a "Nephi's boat race"

and "Noah's Ark" challenge.

The kids had ice pops and water afterwards. We had concerns having an activity on Memorial Day weekend, but all but 9 kids showed up!

Party like a ROCK STAR!

Eli is six years old and he partied a LOT to celebrate.

He shared cupcakes with his school friends at lunch.
He ate the icing and left the cupcake.

The family celebrated with pizza at Chuck E Cheese's.

You are never to old to have fun....

Even BIG kids like Chuck E Cheese's

On Friday he had a party at Sport's Connection with mini-bowling and games.
He got to blow out the "6" candle and make his wish.

Evan's Birthday!

Tuesday was Evan's
10th birthday. We went
to Bob Evans to celebrate
and the waitstaff sang
"Happy Birthday" to him
when they brought him
his sundae. He ate it up!
(the attention and the ice cream!)
He has always LOVED
to eat there. At one point
he referred to Bob Evans as
"thefancy restaurant with
wacamoni and cheese".
