Todd is one year older and wiser too . . .

Look at ALL that Smoke!! and that was just a few candles!!

The kids were rubbing Todd's head for good luck.

Happy Birthday to you!! We were able to visit Todd's parents the day before Todd's birthday on Sunday the 3rd. His mom was feeling better and they had alot of leftovers from the reunion so we were happy tp help out! We had yummy lasagna and fruit salad and pie. Thanks mom and dad! We had a great time. We actually had a couple of the boys' friends with us - Andrew and Josh. Their parents were a on a trip and we had them staying with us. It was fun to show them the deer that come into the yard at Grandma and Grandpa's house.

On Monday night Todd had band practice but we did all have dinner together, FHE, and have Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cake -a family traditional favorite. He got his few presents early - again more camping stuff. -That has been his thing for awhile. Tuesday Todd and I went out together for dinner and that was nice.

Also, a quick birthday shout out for several others in this past week - Andi, Shannon, Ralph, Quinton and KeriLyn!!
