~Eli's Birthday Week!~

We asked Eli what he wanted to do for his birthday.

He said, "I want to go to a Buffet!"

What?? Why don't you want mom to make

your favorite food? "I don't know what you make

that is my favorite?" he said. (I'm not the best cook, apparently,

and I always make him eat the veggies!)

He wanted unlimited times at the ice cream machine, too!

So, here we are at Fresh Choice. We have been to

these type of places about 4 time ever!

Michael & Natalie being silly! The kids had fun
and they ate a bunch too! It wasn't too bad.

A little later in the week...
He took some of his friends to Sky High, an indoor
trampoline center, for an afternoon.

Abram, Nate, Ben, Eli, Corey, Spencer, & Natalie!

He wanted to invite about 5 other friends too!

Waiting to play Dodge Ball!

They spent 2 hrs. playing it over and over again!!

Natalie jumped like a mad women! She loved it!

**************

He got a visit from his cousins Gabe & Carl.

Hanging out at Grandma & Grandpa's!

Natalie, Mauri, Gabe, Carl, Madi, & Eli!

Eli had a great week and he got to do many things!

Visit with Baby Rachael~

The kids and I enjoyed visiting with the Lowe's and

Baby Rachael!

All my kids love holding babies!

They were so excited to see her.

Can you believe they let 7 kids and 5 adults in

one room! They had to be good or we were gone!

Awe, poor crying baby!
Natalie loved holding her until she started to cry.

FUNdraiser...It's all for the kids!

Our youth at church had a fundraiser last month.

They made desserts and auctioned them off, and then

the FUN began. They auctioned off an

opportunity to throw a pie in a volunteers face.

Of course Aaron volunteered and got it, as he so deserves on a

daily basis! It was hilarious!

And of course he loves to give as he receives!

It's only fair.

Here's the video you have to see!

(Pause the music at the side first.)

Merilee got Ranse so good!

I love how the pan just stuck to his face. And come to find out

the first one he got was with out of date whipped cream!

YUCK! All in all a good time was had!
