"Our" Birthday

My friend Aimee Lyman and my's birthday are exactly a month apart. So we like to celebrate "Our" birthday together. We went to dinner and got desert to go...

..our should I say THREE! 

That's How WE CELEBRATE!

Matthew's 9th Birthday

Happy Birthday Bean!

He got to go fishing with Pop Pop and yep they caught fish! All this kid wanted for his birthday was an armadillo. Just in case you are wondering he wanted it for a pet...a REAL...LIVE...ARAMADILLO! Not happening. I did search online and almost got him a taxidermied real armadillo but those are surprisingly prices!  So instead we settled for this...

...He was happily satisfied. Grandma got him some cool spywear so that made it even better.

Love you so much kid!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Happy Birthday, Bocker!  Your happy go luck attitude brightens everyday. You are such a good big brother to your sister. We are so lucky to have you in our home.  We love you so much!

12 Years Old!

I can't believe it but it's true, Shermie is 12! I am so lucky to now have 2 priesthood holders in my home. Shermie was ordained at our home this evening by his Dad. We are thankful for our Bishopric allowing us to do it during the week, making it possible for him to go to the temple for the first time this Saturday. I am so proud of the choices he is making. He is such a good kid. I am so thankful that he is the big brother and I know he chose to come first to be an example for his younger brothers to follow. We love you so much Shermie Happy Birthday!

He had a party with friends at Banana's Fun Park over spring break. It turned into a sleep over. They were very entertaining to watch as they tried to teach Annalyn to "Tebow" on the trampoline...

...but it was even more funny watching them play Dancer Party.

 

 Yep it was pretty funny!

Mexican Dinosaur

For my birthday Gramie and PopPop took us to the Dinosaur Museum to see the new T-Rex (some of us have been asking to see it for weeks). Annalyn was not crazy about the him.

 The kids had fun digging for bones and playing in the water.

 Getting "spit on".

 Earthquake simulator.

 Making foot prints.

 Afterward we went to eat at our favorite Mexican restaurant! What better way to celebrate a birthday then with my favorite people!

TWO!

I can't believe she is two! My little princess.

She was so excited to get dressed up for her birthday. When I asked her if she wanted me to do her hair she said,"oh, yes!" when I got done she said, " oh, love it." I  love that she is such a girly girl!

She makes us smile and laugh every day!

Not to bad for my lack of experience doing little girl hair.

She is so Pretty!

Grandma got her a bunch of cute outfits and a fluffy white puppy that she absolutely loved!!!

She was also very excited over the kitchen set that she got from Gramie and Pop pop, but the box was the big hit with the boys!

Happy Birthday Matthew! / Baptism

Matthew had help celebrating his birthday this year as some of his cousins came to town for his baptism. It was so good to see everyone that came. We appreciate the effort it took to get here.

Matthew was baptized uncle Tim and Grandpa as witnesses.

Then he was confirmed by his Dad and Bishop Rock, Bother Harold Davis, Uncle Sean, Grandpa and Pop pop stood in the circle.

We are so proud of him and his decision to be baptized. He is such a great kid. He has such strength and such and attitude of "I can do it". We know he will continue to be a good example to his brothers.

Had to get a picture of the cousins.

Party! Party!

This weekend we had two Friend Birthday celebrations. We planned them both at the same place and time in different parts of the building.  Matthew had his party in the Climbing Gym.

Nic had his in the Fun Factory. Between Sherman and I guess which room I got.

  Yep, Nic's. While he lounged out on the nice sofa in the quiet climbing room, I sat on a hard chair watching the kids run and scream all over the factory room. All of the kids had a blast!

Annalyn and Ava taking care of what was left of the cake.

Just help yourselves Girls.
