August Birthday bash!

Dad got out of the nursing home just in time to help us celebrate the August Birthdays! Not to mention his 37th wedding aniversary to my mom.

Samantha really enjoyed the chili dogs. I try to teach her to eat with her mouth closed, but she doesn't listen very well.

Tyler and Niki just hanging out, probably thinking "please hurry things up so we can go home and play on my x-box.

Cortney found the best seat in the house.

Eugene and Brooke came all the way from Utah to help us celebrate.

Mom just loves Elvis.

29+ she ages so well. Notice dad in the back ground trying to help her blow out all those candles.

Kierra is 7 and getting so beautiful.

Morgan is 4 and finally starting school this year !!!

Each month we combine the birthdays for that month of everyone in our family and have one big birthday party. It makes it easier then meeting 5 or 6 times a month. In June and July there are literaly 6 birthdays those month's. We love eah other, but face it 35 people cramed in one little room to have dinner and a birthday cake gets a little nerve racking. September and January are the only two months out of the year without a birthday. Chris and Leah will be changing that soon as their little boy is due in January. However they are moving to Nebraska this month, so we might not be able to get together every time. Were happy for them and wish them the best on their move. they'll be missed. They were our movie buddies. Any ways this month we celebrated Kierra's #7, Morgan's #4, and my mom's #29+++ birthday's. We had lot's of fun and managed not to kill each other in such a cramped little space. Even Dad made it through the day without anyone stepping on his toes. It was a great day! Although with Dennis and Chris' family out of town we were half less then usual. It's just not the same without them. They were missed. Even with 30 days to chose from trying to accomadate 35 people is not easy.
