Ryan’s Birthday

Another birthday for Ryan!  It happened on the same day we got home from Florida, nice birthday present for him

It’s a good thing we have so much help to light all of those candles!

Rett’s Birthday!

Rett got Diego working gloves and shovel.

BLOW!

I cant believe this boy is already 3!

It wouldn’t be right to have a party with out the Elders!  Elder Kennedy and Slade.  We sure love them!

A Teenager!!

Our sweet Ashley is a teenager!  Thankfully she is still sweet Ashley!  She is pretty low maintenance and a pretty happy girl.  I don’t know what I would do with out her, she is my life saver most days!

And like a typical Friday night, the Elders were over, Elder Kennedy and Elder Slade.  And Emilee.

Going down the Jr high/High school hall.  She is growing up way too fast!

Lunch date!

Birthday presents before school, all she wanted was clothes, she must be a teenager!

And a curling wand.

Bill Coffey’s Birthday Party

We love our adopted grandma and grandpa!  Bill just keeps having birthdays and we think its great!  He is quite and amazing person, we are glad to know him and call him ours!

What a great day, for a great man!

Justin’s Baptism

Justin has had this day circled on the calendar for almost a year!  It finally came!  Justin was so excited to be baptized.  We are so happy he has chosen this and are proud to be his parents!

Looks like a future missionary!

All of my handsome boys.

Way to go Justin!!  We love you!

Justin’s Birthday!

Justin had a great birthday.  He was mostly excited to get to go to scouts after school.  It didn’t disappoint!

Birthday pancakes

New suit for Sunday.

FINALLY his own (whole) Red Ryder BB gun!

(in my defense it was early…. and I was tired

We had a little hangover from the party the day before, Jerick got to stay the night because he didn’t have school the next day and Ryan took him home when he went to work.  What a treat!  I think Justin was pretty excited about this big birthday.  He is a nice boy, we are glad to have him in our family!

Justin’s 8th Birthday Part-A!

We had to have Justin’s friend party a day early because Thursdays is Scouts and Justin (and all of his friends) need to go there.  It was a Monster Trucking good time, pretty wild, but pretty good too.  Justin was quite pleased with himself!

Justin and some of his friends,

Clay

Jace

Jamen

Jerick

Dillon

Tayson

Jace Ward

Ashley got to the party a little later, she had practice of some kind.  She about fainted when she saw the wildness.  She was trying to CALM everyone down, but wasn’t successful and WAS very frustrated.  I tried to tell her just let it be, she helped as long as she could stand it and then went to her room!  Boys aren’t her cup of tea!

 

Monster Jam birthday cake was a hit!

 

Apparently the wildness did wear on Ashley…  Silly picture!

Present time, FINALLY! 

(Emma recorded the entire event with her own camera)

Justin gave everyone a wish.

Monster truck races commenced the rest of the time.

It was a fun party, much different than any of the girls parties as far as loudness and wildness!  Boys are fun!  Happy Birthday Just!
