Happy Birthday to....

my sweet boy, Timothy!

Timothy turned 14 on Tuesday. Just now getting time to post his birthday greetings. He is our quiet boy, but he can be brave when needed. He is so thoughtful and understanding. He loves to bake and cook. Just yesteday, he made supper for us -- Sloppy Tim's (kinda like sloppy joe's). He loves anything spicy, so he used lots of chili pepper and cayenne pepper. Great meal, though!

Here are a few photos of Timothy through the years :-)

Benjamin's cake

Benjamin with his cake. He wanted a bunch of stick people looking at a big banner. This is what I came up with using his idea. Note: there are only 10 candles even though he turned 11 :-) Jessica counted wrong!

Now we have the extra candle added.

My baby is eleven!

Our youngest turned eleven yesterday. What a special boy he is! He is certainly a delight to be around -- always something to smile or laugh about :-) He is a very huggable and loving child, and he is very sensitive. Benjamin is very interested in numbers and basically anything to do with science. He has a great knowledge of trivia. We just love him to pieces!

He opened his gifts at breakfast and hugged and thanked everyone after each gift/card. Lunch was his choice - quesadillas. His cake? Well, he prides himself on remembering every birthday cake since his first. This year he showed me a drawing of his idea. I expanded it a bit and came up with something her loved. I'll post a photo of the cake later -- had to use an old digital and our new camera is still at the shop!

For now, enjoy a few photos of Benjamin through the years.

What a sweet boy!

Always curious...

His 3rd birthday cake

With a twinkle in his eyes!

The cutest reindeer, ever!

Funny!

Ho, ho, ho!

Loves extremes and is a risk-taker!

Watching the ducks at Bowring Park.

With his Great-Grandpa. He spent most of his visits this summer, cuddling with Grandpa.


HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Benjamin!! We love you!

Devin's 40th Birthday!

Hubby turned 40 years old yesterday.

I decided to put 40 candles on his cake, as a little joke :-) I bought the kind that are attached with paper and you only have to light the first one. Well, Luke wanted to light them, but what a surprise we all got! They went POUF and everything was aflame! HA!

Delicious cake, though -- only 1 piece left today.
