Birthdays

The pictures are all out of order, but I really don't want to bother with fixing it.  I will just caption each picture and hopefully it will make sense.

Leah turned 7 in February and I made her this shirt.  Don't ask me why she wanted a nike symbol. ha ha...it looks so silly to me, but she was proud to wear it.

Bradley is teething, but he is cute about it.

Leah got a pillow pet for her main gift.

Dallan started a cool tradition for our family.  He wrote leah a cute birthday song.  He also wrote one for his dad called, "Older than Me" to be sung to the tune and rhythm of "Cooler than Me"...it was pretty good.  Clay followed Dallan's lead and wrote Dallan a song to the tune of "Time of your Life" called "Sense to do what's right".  I hope this sticks because it is so fun and more thoughtful than most gifts.

Ever since we saw someone at Famous Dave's BBQ celebrate their birthday, Leah has wanted to go there for her birthday dinner.  So we did.  She lit up when all the workers sang to her with fireworks.  It was so nice because the workers really gave her special attention rather than the monotone forced singing that you sometimes find at restaurants.  Bradley wanted a bite in this picture.

Clay got a new phone, a car stereo, and scriptures.  SPOILED. ha-just kidding.  He completely deserves it all.  He works so hard and studies in all of his free time and he earns the right to be pampered once in a while.

Dallan's friend made the cake and Leah was feeling very affectionate. cute!

Bradley is such a joy to have in our home.  He smiles constantly and he adores his father!

Dallan used money from gift cards to get some of this.  He is such a good young man and I can't believe he is 14.  He will be going to church dances!  He brings a lot of joy to our home and I am proud of him. 

It seems like everytime I try to capture his winning smile, he freezes.  But even his curious expression is cute.

I got Clay a Carrom board.  It reminds us both of our childhood(s) and we love playing games with the kids.


Bradley is 4 months old already.  It is too hard to explain how much we all love him!
