BIRTHDAYS!!

I know, soooo behind on the blogging!  We’ve celebrated a few birthdays that I have missed.

Rod’s birthday was celebrated on the run.  Halle had Dance attack that night, so we sang to Rod really quickly that afternoon before I took her up to Salt Lake.  For Rod’s birthday I got him tickets to a taping of NPR’s Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me.  The next week Rod and I had a great evening going to the Cheesecake Factory and then to the show.

We celebrated Braden’s Birthday twice with a party the Sunday before with Wes and Sherri’s family.  Then on his birthday, we ate out at Tepanyaki.  Yum!  Our chef was really good and we laughed the whole time.

In March we went to a surprise party for Rod’s brother, Cory.  His birthday was truly a day to celebrate.  It is hard to believe that we came so close to losing him.  He really is doing great and he seems to get better and better each time I see him.

Finally, Connor turned 16!  Wow, hard to believe.  Unfortunately I didn’t plan anything exciting.  With Lacrosse and dance, we had a hard time fitting it in.  I promise to make it up to him next year.  He did go on his first date shortly after he turned 16.  I can say I wasn’t surprised that it didn’t take him very long. 

I am so grateful for birthdays.  They give us a time to reflect on the past year and the year ahead.  Here’s to a great year for four very important guys in my life!  Love you all!
