She had a birthday, shout hooray

She had a wonderful day and loved her cupcake party.  She also had a family party a few weeks later.  Her personality is blossoming and she is sharing more of who she really is with others too.  Happy Birthday, Abigail we love you.

Happy Birthday to you, Bobby

Our sweet guy turned 5!  He is ready to be 5.  He spent the day at the firehouse, we had In -N- Out and cupcakes.  He got to wash the fire engine and "run a few calls".  He wouldn't have wanted to be anywhere else with anyone else.  Thank you to all who could come celebrate and for all the birthday phone calls too.  We love you, Bobby.  Love, Daddy and Mommy

Beth & Aiden

SO, my cousin's husband, Tristan, had a birthday in November.  So the kids and I call to sing him happy birthday and he was hit with a FABULOUS idea as what to get her for Christmas.  He said "what do you think about Beth and Aiden coming to visit as her Christmas gift?"  I felt a little silly because really it was a gift for me and she didn't get a choice.  So he surprised her with tickets and she came at the beginning of the month.  WE had a blast.  I hope she and Aiden did too.  Here are a few pictures of our time together.

 The boys had a great time playing baseball outside and digging in the dirt.  Abby join the digging part and almost was hit with the bat a time or two.  We had wonderful weather while they were here.

 here the boys are flying their planes made by my Uncle Rick (Beth's dad and Aiden's Grandpa).  Bobby said that he makes "gooder" airplanes than you mom.

 Aiden passing out a million dollars to my mom.

Finally, a picture of us together... very rare.

P.S. Beth, if you are reading this... I really love you. I cherish the time we have to talk or text or email.  I love that we can communicate with our eyes.  I enjoy watching you as a mom and find it equally as wonderful to watch you as a wife.  Growing up I didn't have any expectations but if I did subconsciously you have surpassed them all.  You are amazing.  I hope that we can see each other soon.
