Happy Birthday...

The last few weeks have gone by fairly quickly. We've had some bad monsoon storms, but luckily we didn't end up losing any trees or anything (though at one point we weren't so sure).


Kelly and Cameron were nice enough to come and watch the kids yesterday, which let us go out on a date for Susan's birthday. We went to Dave & Busters. It was fun to play around the arcade, and to get out, just the two of us.

Shawn made some carrot cake cupcakes for the birthday cake. (Susan helped a bit, and it was the day after, but that's how it goes). Shawn ended up breaking in Susan's birthday present of a new beater for her mixer that scrapes the sides of the bowl as it is mixing.

Church went well today. Susan had taken a bunch of Ezra's little broken crayons and melted them into "new" crayons. They were a big hit. They kept Ezra occupied for all of sacrament meeting.
The kids keep us busy. Ezra has a new thing the last couple of weeks. He counts, "1... 2... 3... GO!". Sometimes the count goes as high as 5 or 6, sometimes it only gets to 2. He waves his arm while doing it. It's kind of funny.

Emma has been teething the last week or so, which has made her a bit grumpy some evenings, but overall she's been okay. She's a happy little girl, and we're thankful for that.
