Happy Birthday: Abe Turns 31!

What a day! Abe was busy working and the boys and I were busy preparing to spoil their Dad. I stayed up way too late making a delicious cake - mounds cake- and it turned out fabulously!

After hanging up crepe paper, ballons, our birthday banner, and cramming two tables into our tiny kitchen, we were ready for the party. Abe's parents and Grandma Delva came to join us.

 Sawyer wanted to blow out the candles, so we spent the next 10 minutes relighting, singing "Happy Birthday", and blowing out candles.

 Then onto the cake . . .

Then onto wrestling, playing, and finally present opening. I got Abe hitch mount mud flaps. He loved them. He received a few other things, but those were the big gift!

Crew then requested to snap a few pictures of people at the party. He did rather well.

Happy Birthday Abe!

Happy Father's Day

Our boys adore Abe! Abe is a fabulous father that has already planted the seeds of hard work, faith, and how to be a man. These are some lucky boys!!

To celebrate, they all got a new matching tie, we had a layered cake, and the boys gave Abe paper ties that they made in church.

Vegas, Day 4: Bikes, Palm Trees, and Pool Party

Vegas, Day 3: Pool Days

It is so nice that Darci and Frank have a pool! We were outside and in the pool at least once a day! This day our kids got in twice! Sawyer and Franklin had an impromptu underwear swim. After awhile the older kids came looking for us and they were completely jealous they hadn't been in the pool as well. A quick change of clothes later and everyone was in the pool.
