Something to Celebrate!

HAPPY 14TH BIRTHDAY ADAM!!!!
We love you so much!

Tonight we went to Chili's (Adam's pick) for dinner in honor of Adam's birthday. My Mom, my sister, and Grandma and Grandpa joined us.



Even poor Caleb who spent the whole night and early morning throwing up (yes, it is still making the rounds) decided to join us---- brotherly love at its best!

Since Adam was the birthday boy, he got this delicious dessert.

Did I mention that it was really delicious?

Adam received notice in the mail today that he was accepted into Honors English for the 9th grade------the great news couldn't have come on a better day!
We are so very proud of you Adam!

Here is Adam opening his gifts.

Jonny worked really hard for Grandma and Grandpa to earn the money to buy Adam his favorite chips!


Jonny, Andrew, and Anna thought it was cool that their shoes gripped this rock.
The frugal Momma that I am insisted that the kids bring their drink cups with them---- our old ones were looking pretty worn out.

The kids even enjoyed the walk out to the car.

Happy Birthday Adam!! Hard to believe that adorable little 1 year old boy that moved in across the street is now 14! Congratulations to you Christine for being such a great mom for the last 14 years. I'm glad Adam was able to get his good news about the honors class today. Sorry you guys are still dealing with the stomach bug. What a sport Caleb was to make it out for Adam. Tell him happy birthday from us!

P.S. I hope you had really good coupons or something. I haven't even taken our kids to Chilis. They get the Chinese buffet at best.

Happy Birthday to your son!

We just finished whirlwind birthday season around here: my four's birthdays are Jan/Feb/Apr/Apr. It's exhausting! And, I have to tell you that more than once it popped in my mind, "you know...this is a year round thing for Christine, I bet!" :)

Chili's is a great place to celebrate. :)

Love all the pictures, especially the one of Johnny's excitement watching his brother open his gift from him.

we used to always take home our cups from restaurants, until they stopped believing we were under 10 :) Happy birthday! and congrats on the English Honors class, I hate waiting for acception/rejection letters
