Jumping Around..August Birthdays...so far

Eli wanted a lunch at McDonalds and a McFlurry instead of a cake.. at 7 years old, can you blame him? 

everyone came out to sing..Shrek is the huge, new thing here..hence, the Shrek hats

Me and Grace

Me and the Birthday Boy...so handsome! 

Funny story... last year David turned 40 and had a horrible (no kidding) birthday. This year we were determined to redeem the day. Things did not go as planned and the first part of the morning was a challenge...to top of a rocky morning for the Birthday Boy our van overheated on the way to church and therefore crash and burned on the side of the road (it died on us last year for David's birthday) on our way to church. It did come up for air and managed to get us home. We joked about putting on a sign on the road saying that it was a gift for whoever could afford to keep it bandaged and we were off to get a  new car....we jumped all 7 of us into our trusty Civic and headed to the mall... here it is... the car that David got for his birthday.... well, not exactly... but it was parked in the mall where we had lunch, David pulled out his keys for a photo opp. It was a much needed comical relief.... while we were doing this the 3 little guys thought is was super cool and Jacob and Grace disappeared only to be found once the camera was back in the bag....to funny ! We ARE getting old !
