Birthday month

We celebrated Toby's 10th Birthday this month. He is getting old and doesn't run quite as fast. Tyler made him a birthday cake... that we ate up! Tyler felt like we should share it but I suggest (as I ate up the last bite) that we just give him an extra bone.

Ella loves Toby so much. She is always giving him loves and hugs. She herds him around with her. She is becoming quite attached.
Darren and I celebrated our 10th anniversary. I cant believe all the things we have done in 10 years. Darren joking said it has been a long 10 years... but really I know we are both very happy together.

My brother had a birthday. I am grateful he is at home with his family and not in Iraq anymore.

Yesterday we celebrated someone else's birthday. Sweet sixteen!

We love you mom. Thanks for all you do.

...and thanks Mom. The kids gobbled up their Happy Meals today... then promptly took nice long naps. I hope they are feeling better soon. They haven't been sick all winter ...until now!
