Celebrating Mark

 It's hard to believe that this  young man is now 19 years old...Mark is a wonderful,  caring adult who loves his family

A blast from the past... Mark turns 8!

Mark and Sadie make a beautiful couple

Poor guy has to light his own candles

We celebrate you, Mark.

May all you wishes and dreams come true. 

Mark is 16 Years Old

Happy 20th Birthday, Laura!!

 Laura and her best buddy, Luke...I now have 6 children in their twenties. 

That's just crazy!!  That's 60% for my children!

 We had a little crowd for Laura's pizza and tater wedges dinner. 

 I was sorry to be missing Matt and Alexis, Amy and Lianna.

 The four "littles"---all under 20 years old

 Happy, happy birthday, Laura!!

I love you...even though it took a couple blows to get all those candle out!

Birthday Buddies and Hobbit birthdays

 Today Dan turned 23 years old....

A blast from the past...

Dan's a turtle!

 Blow, Dan blow....

 Of course, 23 years ago, Becky got Danny as a birthday present...a third brother was NOT what she wanted...but thankfully, she likes him now and happily shares birthday parties. 

 Becky turns 27 tomorrow. 

She is still a beauty...

 You can do it!!!

 In Hobbit tradition, Dan bought everyone gifts for his birthday.

 I think the kids could get used to this tradition, especially since there are so many birthdays throughout the year. 

 Kim has creepy eyes....

 Dan signed all the books, making them all very special

The gift of books also made for a quiet birthday night. 

Starting in the past...August 1, 2015

 A whole bunch of us got together to celebrate two great fellas.  My dad and brother-in-law.

 I love how they dresses alike!

 There were kids, grandkids and great grandkids everywhere.

 I think I just told Grace she shouldn't play badminton with a broken arm....we didn't even know at this point that it was broken in THREE places.
