Happy Birthdays!!!

I feel lucky to be able celebrate two birthdays on one day of two of the greatest people in my life. The tradition is breakfast in beds for the birthday boy or girl. We usually do it in our bed, but Sarah really wanted it in hers this year, so Greg was nice to do a breakfast on the floor. Greg's mom used to tell all about the day he was born and how she knew she had someone special in her stomach. I would have to agree. Greg is such a good person with a good heart. I am thankful for him and all he does for our family. Happy Birthday to Sarah and Greg!


Sarah wanted circle pancakes with square butter slices and syrup. I made it to order, but I don't think she ate more than a bite. I guess the presents were calling!

The kids remembered Greg's order from last year-lots of hugs and kisses and a bowl of Mini-Wheats. Delicious! It was the same again this year.
Sarah really wanted this quilting book..."we" made a new little bag that day.
Off to Disneyland. The Happiest Place on Earth. What a day!Sarah loves cotton candy and chose that as her treat for her birthday.
Sarah's favorite ride is "It's a Small World." It was our first ride. There were a bunch of new changes and it was really fun to see.
The Tarzan tree is always a hit.

Nathan rode "Screamin over California" for his first time with his friend Cole. We were happy see them right after Cole had gone-a little positive peer pressure is always a good thing. Don't be fooled by the look of near throwing up-he actually loved it and wanted to go again. When I saw this before they came off I got a little bit nervous that he didn't love it like I said he would. What a relief!
Winding down from a fun day!
A fun surprise from the Copples on our door when we got home! Yeah!I think it was a fun day. Sarah is still claiming the "birthday girl" bargain when it comes to getting what she wants. I guess we will let her enjoy it while she can. It is so fun to be a kid and have a birthday.

Greg is wearing the same clothes on her 5th birthday that he wore when she was born. Check out the white T-shirt and khaki shorts!

My daughter Natalie said the cutest thing about Stacey today, so I thought I would share it with all you people out there who love Stacey too.

I was brushing her teeth and she smiled up at me and said, "You're a really good Mom." I was so happy and asked her what made her say that. She said, "You're really nice, just like Stacey." I told her I thought Stacey was sweet too and she said, "Yeah, she so nice to her kids, and her kids friends."

So Stacey, you've made quite an impression on my daughter. It make me so happy that she feels loved in your home. Thank you for being so nice to "your kids friends!"
