Happy 4th Birthday, Kaleb!

It was both Kaleb's 4th birthday yesterday and Emma's 6th birthday! We did get to talk to Em for a minute before her mom dropped her at school. Apparently they were having a pouring Florida rainstorm so the car line for dropping the children off was extra long and they were running late as a result. We were so glad we got to sing "Happy Birthday" to her! We missed being at her little party but hope she enjoyed our gift and knew that we were there in spirit. We love you, Emma and miss you! See you in just a couple of weeks!!!!!

We WERE able, however, because of close proximity, to attend little Kaleb's birthday party and see his cool dinosaur cake! Though you can't tell from the look on his face in the picture, he was very thrilled with it! Greg had his company party at Mountain River Ranch at 7:30 so Cindy was gracious enough to begin his party at 5:30pm so we were able to attend most of it. We really appreciate that! Grandpa was pretty excited to give him the little pair of armittas (short, light-weight chaps) he found for Kaleb as this little boy LOVES to dress up like a cowboy! KJ was so cute when he saw them and couldn't wait to get them on. Cindy said it was one of the first things he wanted to put on this morning. Probably his favorite gift, however, was his little headlamp! Todd has one for reading and he thinks it is the coolest! So you are cool now, too, Kaleb! We loved his new little white shirt, tie, and dress pants for Sunday. Talk about looking like a missionary! He received some darling gifts from his sisters who absolutely adore him and love nothing better than hitting the dollar section at Target and picking out just the perfect gifts for him! These kids are as excited for their siblings birthdays as they are for their own. It was a beautiful thing to see how they fussed over him! My pictures arent' very good. I finally figured out that somehow I had slid it to the manual setting and so some of my best pictures were fuzzy. Sorry I didn't get a picture of you, Cindy. They were all fuzzy! We love our very special little Kaleb and his wonderful smile that makes his eyes dance and then disappear. He just enjoys life and everything about it! Happy Birthday to our 4-year-old "cowboy missionary" as he calls himself!
