Daddy's birthday

As promised I finally was able to download the pictures from Daddy's special birthday weekend. It was very busy. We started by giving daddy his present which was a bottle of Maples Syrup and a Wood magazine. Why you ask? Because that was Mommy's clever way of getting Daddy to guess that we're going to take a trip to see Tim "Woody" Maples and his family the weekend of 25-29th. He knew exactly what the clues meant and he was very excited to see his good friend. We also made Daddy breakfast, crepes--and then after spending the morning around the house it was already time to get ready to meet the Fox family for a late lunch at the Macaroni Grill. After that we came home and spend time together as a family. Little Charlotte kinda had the sniffles so we were really cautious of being out too long.

On Saturday we met out friends Mark and Mary for dinner. They also had a little girl, Sandrine, 10 days before Charlotte was born. Unfortunately, we totally forgot to take any pictures of our sweet little ones so that will have to wait until next time. The evening was a lot of fun.

Sunday, we went to church and then to my in-laws house to celebrate not only Daddy's b-day but Auntie Rux's as well. We had yummy BBQ and great fun with the family. Cousins Landon and Luke were there. I can't believe how big our kids are getting. Once again, I'm not quite sure where my head was but I didn't take pictures that day either! Geez Louise Linda! Anyway, it was fun to see them all and to see how great Landon and Lukie are with Charlotte. You can tell they will get a long great!

Here are some pictures from the weekend!

Daddy is so funny when he walks around with you like that.

This one is the two of you practicing dancing---for your wedding some day. (sniff sniff)This one is of you and your fancy sun glasses that Mike and Michelle Fox bought for you. It's hysterical that she keeps them on for a very long time.We crack up that they're the mirrored kind. ha ha

Another fun filled weekend.

Your daddy the hero!

This past Saturday your daddy was asked to dress up in his military uniform and share some cool things about the military with the kids from Kyle and Ryan's church. Their church was putting on a series of activities and sharing for families called "Summer Nights". It looked like huge success. "Summer Nights" went on for a couple weeks and for the final night where they were studying putting on the "Armor of Christ" they needed your daddy to come and share some information about the military with the kids. The kids got to try on the very heavy back pack, look through night vision goggles, inspect different guns and weapons, and even taste the food the soldiers get out in the field. Each kid got to take an MRE (meal ready to eat) home. They all loved it and your daddy was quite the hit. (Shhh---don't tell--- but doesn't daddy look so cute in his uniform?) Anyway---you dressed up, too. You had on the perfect little camouflage outfit for the occasion. Your daddy is pretty darn special to do all this for your cousins and his friends. Don't you ever forget it!
