This is our BUSY time of year with Birthday's. All our children are another year older!
Sam is 17 and a beauty! Her personality is so fun and outgoing. We love and miss her very much since she is staying mostly with her dad right now. We celebrated her birthday early with a family party and then I took her shopping, her favorite pastime, for a new outfit.
Marly is now 14 and such a sweet girl! We enjoy her calm and pleasant nature. She is so helpful around the house and learning quite a few homemaking skills - cooking, crocheting, cleaning - and she takes care of the garden and the chickens. We celebrated her birthday with a family bowling outing, which is how she wanted to spend her birthday.
Chris is now a 12 year old Deacon! He was recently ordained in
the Aaronic Priesthood. He passed the sacrament and talked in church for the first time...on the same day! Boy, they don't waste much time in our ward. He is a creative boy who enjoys making new projects - wood swords, catapults, crossbows - and he makes up his own games. Chris had a few friends spend the night for his birthday party.
Three birthdays in one year. Almost like two months of Christmas!
ReplyDeleteYou win for busy weekends, that's for sure! :) I wasn't scheduled on Saturday. I told Farrah I would take her shift if she needed me to, but then I think Stephanie was able to help out. I was there last night and we HAD to be OUT by 11:45 - no break. Wierd times down there. But still very thankful for work to be done and wonderful people to do it with.
Those must have been fun pregnancy's all hot!! Happy b-day to all your kiddos
ReplyDeleteI have two b-days close together right now. I can't imagine three with an anniversary, too! It's hard to believe how old your kids are... we are getting old! ;-)
ReplyDeleteHappy Happy B-day to all my gorgeous and handsome neices and nephew! Miss you guys love seeing you grow on the blog. Hope your special day(s) were as wonderful as you guys are!
ReplyDeleteJen - It is hard with so many b-days and our anniversary so close together. Then we turn around and shop for Christmas. I still need to find time to post about our anniversary.
ReplyDeletecongratulations to Chris. Kyle still misses him.
