Way back when (can you tell I’m posting on old pictures that I JUST downloaded??), Kyle apparently was bored of the toys he has in the play room. I mean, why should we buy them toys? I had a seminary teacher give his kids empty boxes for Christmas for that very reason. I am not that harsh. But still. This is what I found him playing with. He was happy for quite a long time. He was quiet, not really making a mess, so I let him be. Who wouldn’t want potatoes as toys.
All but one of Kevin’s siblings were able to get together this weekend for a baby blessing. It was sure fun to just be together. They are all a riot and I am grateful to have them as brothers and sisters.
At the end of January, James turned 14. I can’t believe he is that old. I met him right before he turned 8 and now look at him! He’s an amazing brother and tries hard to always do what is right. I can’t wait to see him as a dad on his own. His wife will be very lucky that he is well trained in taking care of kids. He is kind to others around him and wants to serve. He tries hard to save his money for things he wants, but we all know how that goes. He was able to have a few friends over for a late night/sleepover. They loved playing video games all night. I tried to be creative with his cake. I made it resemble, and that word is used VERY loosely, a dart board. He loved it and the 4 boys devoured it.
Happy Birthday James!!
So I finally downloaded the pictures off of my camera! There were almost 400 pictures. Slacker, I know. I have lots of good excuses though!
Back in January, Kevin’s sister and her family came down for New Year’s, so we took the kids sledding. Kyle was in heaven. He just sat in his sled to go up and down. What an easy life. Justin had a blast with his cousins!
