Birthday Season

Three out of six of our little family's birthday's take place within two weeks of each other. The rest are spaced out pretty well. April and May are busy times for us! We have two grandma's, countless aunties, uncles and cousins, plus mine, Kelly's, and Logan's birthdays...plus Mother's Day. So here is the official Happy Birthday wish to all our family and friends who recently celebrated or soon will celebrate their big day. I'll try to list them off, but forgive me if I leave anyone out. Here goes: Etano, Michelle, Nathele, Emilie, Gary, Grandma Marcia, Little Kelly (who's not so little anymore, but was named after my Kelly and that's still how we distinguish between the two), Anson, Kekoa, Kekai, Grandma Winna, Kelly, Logan, Nickie, Trey, Jared N., Jeremy L., Dave W.,...Out. Of. Breath.

Anyway, I had a great birthday. We got together at Rochelle's house with a few friends to eat goodies and play games. Rock Band was a big hit! "Shut up, when I'm talkin' to you!" was our favorite lyric:) I was also surprised to get a really cute set of dishes that I'd been eyeing in front of my friends. They were pretty sneaky. Thanks guys! Kelly also cooked a good dinner (he smoked a turkey and had all the fixin's. So yummy!) and then we had cake and ice cream with more friends on my actual birthday.

Kelly's birthday was yesterday. I asked what he wanted for his birthday dinner and he requested Soy Sauce Chicken, rice and broccoli. Jeremy made a cake for him the night before, so he wanted chocolate chip cookies instead of another cake. Oh, how I wish I had pictures of the cake Jeremy made him...He was super tired because Bronson kept us up all night the night before with a fever, so the rest of his present was letting him go to bed by 8:00...He woke up to chocolate chip cookies to take to work.

Logan's birthday is this Sunday. It will be kind of special because eleven years earlier, she was born on my first Mother's Day. I can't believe I've been a mom for eleven years! All Logan really wants for her birthday is cash...she and Maika get to spend some time with family in Utah before the rest of us go down and she wants to save for that. She won't admit it, but is SUPER excited to see the Jonas Brothers at the Stadium of Fire with her aunties and cousins. I know I brag about Logan all the time, but I really couldn't ask for a better kid! She's a good student, athlete, sister, friend and daughter. She is also peppered with some major attitude at times, but we enjoy that too. Most of the time. She is a great help to me and I want her to know that I appreciate all that she does to help me. Whether it's chores around the house or entertaining her siblings while I try to get dinner on the table, she helps! Not always with a smile on her face, but the important part is she does it. Love you, Sis!

Happy Birthday, Everyone!

ps. I'll post pictures when I can find the cord to my camera...
