Ethan's 7th birthday!

Ethan with his cousin, Jacelyn

Ethan had his b-day get together a couple of weeks ago. We had family over for mexican food and cake. Ethan has been wanting to get a Nintendo DS so bad so he saved up his allowance all summer. Most of the family knew about this and so they contributed money. He was super excited to have enough for one! Brandon took him to the store that night to get one since we were leaving to go out of town the following day. We are so blessed to have such a great family!

Ethan's "Bolt" cake....it was yummy :)

Christi's Birthday!

Wow, it is my baby's birthday today (she turned 35)! Christi is such an amazing woman, and I love her more today than I did the first time I looked in those blue-green eyes. She has always made me look better than I am. Because of Christi, people that I am with each day feel loved and appreciated. She cares for the people around her, and they know it. She always is looking to make people feel comfortable and loved. I would be a mess without her.

I have so many things to say about Christi, but I thought it would be great today for all of you to brag on Christi. As a gift to her today, would you all take some time to share something great you have seen in Christi in the comments. I know how much she influences you all, and today is a great day to let her know...so everyone jump in!

Happy Birthday, Honey!

PUMP-IT-UP

Ethan had a great party at Pump-It-Up! As you can see, he had many friends to share it with so that makes it the best anyways.

He has been enjoying his gifts like crazy. On any given day, you will see him walking on stilts through the house, operating on The Hulk (operation game), playing marbles, being Iron Man, fighting with his Ninja Turtle, and driving his HUMMER around the house. With the money he got, he is going to buy a new Bible for Toon Town.

We feel so blessed to have great friends and family around us!! It's never about the gifts but who we can share our lives with!! Thanks for making his special day so special!
