Daddy and Myah, the birthday duo!
Like father like son
Mark is loving this! His brothers on the sidelines and his nephews on the field!
Nate is lifting the trophy high into the air! He worked hard for that!
It took me 5 pictures before I could get one that was appropriate to post, these boys cannot behave for a camera! Happy 40th Honey!


I almost forgot to post about the special weekend that we had. Saturday was Mark's 40th birthday. I woke up early and put a banner on the front porch with balloons. I had to take Myah's party balloons off first. We woke him up by singing to him and bringing him gifts in bed. Dayton had a make up game at 10:00am so we were off to that and then drove over across the state to watch our nephews play in the districts baseball games. They won so they are on to the next round. Mark's brothers were both there along with his mom, I couldn't have planned it that way if I tried. It was the perfect way for Mark to spend his day, watching his family play ball. We went back to Scott and Lora's afterwards and grilled out. Nate graduates this week so it was fun hanging out with him, so exciting! We did not get home until 1 am! On Sunday we went to church and our Pastor gave Mark and Myah each a special prayer. He is our good friend so it was especially personal and so touching to hear his words. Shortly after church my parents arrived for the day. We had such a nice time just hanging out. Myah opened her gifts from us, I wanted her to open our gifts on her actual birthday. She loved the wicker doll cradle and special sweater that we got her. We also gave her one of the special gifts that we bought in China to give to her on her birthday every year. Mark grilled a delicious dinner for us and then we enjoyed the top tier of Myah's little cake. We put Mark's candles on it too! Two birthdays in a row is alot of work! I am not complaining though, I love making both of them feel special. We are now party pooped! Good thing mine isn't until July!
