Happy Birthday James - 42 is the Best!

We had such a good time on James' birthday this year. The kids wanted to take him out to dinner and thought an ice cream cake was just the thing for him.  It was so fun to see them get excited about doing special things for their Dad.  We are so thankful to have James in our family.  James is the master mind behind all of our fun and takes such good care of us.  We love him!

 James was excited about his new kayak, a running shirt, some new frying pans, a knife sharpener a really neat photo slideshow from the girls and a fantastic bacon care package - who wouldn't have had a great day with those fabulous gifts!!!

The extra fun thing about the ice cream cake was that the icing turned everyones teeth green, very cool!  Somehow Kathryn and I escaped the photo of our green teeth...bummer...

 

Happy Halloween 2012!!!

We had a fun Halloween this year - we made carmel apples for the first time - super fun and DELICIOUS!!!  

 

Samantha was a pumpkin, Sarah was an FBI Agent, Kathryn was a cowgirl and Emily was her horse - complete with mane and tail.  It was a lot of fun!

Happy 12th Birthday Kathryn!!!

September 21, 2000 was a great day in the world - our Kathryn was born.  She had a great time celebrating her 12th birthday this year.  

 Kathryn was super excited to get a kayak for her birthday, she can now start learning to do whitewater tricks - Excellent!!

 She had a few friends over for pizza, cake and ice cream and then we took a trip to the local bowling alley to bowl a few frames.

 We had a super time bowling and plan to go again soon!

Kathryn is a super girl, a great sister and a wonderful daughter.  We are so grateful to have her in our family.  She is really enjoying all the youth activities at church and growing up to be a lovely young woman.  Happy Birthday K!
