Birthdays

I seem to always have an excuse about not having pictures to add---somehow it doesn't seem like an official post without pictures. But, this time I left my camera at my parents' house over easter---I always leave about 5 things at their house and Aaron's parents' house every time we go down.
So, I resorted to a disposable camera for all the latest events--I couldn't let two birthdays go by without pictures (Jack & Adam).
Jack turned 6 on Saturday! Wow--6! I love my Jack so much---he is such a great boy! Adam's birthday is in two days. When I asked him what kind of a birthday party he wanted (just with the family) he said a red one---I think I can handle that.
Pictures to come when I turn in my disposable camera, the old fashioned way--remember when we all did that--the envelopes, the excitement of getting your pictures back, the scramble to rip off your side of the picture where you have three chins or bad hair!
Also on Saturday, Julia had a piano recital and did a great job. Aaron was at school, so I had every intention of videoing it--well, I had the camera, but it never came out of the case. Somewhere in between Adam dancing around in front of the piano to him running out of the room to him slamming doors---the video just didn't happen.
Last night our family did Family Home Evening at the two nursing homes in Soda Springs. I was really proud of Julia and Jack--Julia played the piano, they both said parts and they sang the new primary song, "The Family is of God"--I think that's what it's called, it's four verses long--they did awesome, I love that they will do things like that with confidence. And Adam & Luke did a great job looking cute!
So, thats my pictureless post--I know boring! I guess I will throw in this picture I got on my email--for all the three people that read this blog--remember my blurp about pegged jeans, well I got this email from J Crew---the jean of the season--it's for real--pegged is back!JCrew.com

so now you have four people that look on your blog! I love your wallpaper! What website did you get it from? I get tired of looking at the same ones.
Just remember the thing about living in Grace is that you aren't stuck here for life!! you will have other options come up.
your family is cute as ever

I love that your kids will sing at rest homes.. they are so cute!
And the thing about those jeans is that they look so cute on the model, you're almost tempted to buy them, but then you try them on and realize why you shouldn't.

Oh, dear, I can't believe peg leg is back. I guess I'll have to drop four sizes just to make it look good - better yet, I just won't succumb to the latest fashion - Aaaaaa!

Okay, I am officially a bad aunt! I even talked to you today and didn't tell you to wish Adam a happy birthday for me! Geeze! Give him a big hug for me!

I'm kind of in denial about Jack being 6. I remember being 6 (or even younger) and it always annoyed me when my aunts would say "I remember when you were born!" I guess it's my turn to be the annoying aunt. But really. Six???
Anyways, I bet you made both of their Birthdays so much fun.
I miss you guys! Come visit soon please!:)
