a birthday in pictures

Micah woke up to a happy 6th birthday sign

and a doughnut breakfast

I gave him a lunch surprised and gift wrapped all of his lunch

Micah is not a huge cupcake and icing fan so he picked monkey bars for his treat to bring his class

After school he got to open his presents.  Logan was excited to watch.

These two were pretty excited too!

We gave him a new Mario shirt.

Folded inside the Mario shirt was a real wallet.

Inside the wallet was a picture of his new two wheel bike.

and hilarity and excitement ensued!

and continued as he opened the present that Connor picked out from him and Logan.

I love Connor's surprised face even though he knew what it was.

Apparently it was all too much.  **notice Logan theiving the wallet while Micah collapses from excitement.

We spent the afternoon at the airport waiting for our friend Chandler to come home from Afghanistan.

Then Micah and Zach were off to baseball practice.

Apparently for a 6 year old boy having baseball practice on your birthday is AWESOME!

He's playing short stop.  That is AWESOME too just fyi ;)

We had a late birthday dinner because we got home from the airport late and didn't have time to eat before practice.

Thankfully Steph was able to sit at the house while Logi Bear slept so I could make goofy faces with my 6 year old at Tokyo.  Thanks Nehnie!!

Sushi loving boy.

and just because I can :)


HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY SWEET MICAH MAY!!!
We love every single part of you  and are so proud of the boy you are!

cheap and fun

drinking straw plus florist foam equals an hour of entertainment

showing off his finished project

explaining that this is the gun that shoots out bullets

saying something Connorish that I wish I could remember  because I know it made me laugh

sunlight

p.s. these are straight off the camera with no editing.  My husband is my photographic hero :)

and not to leave out Connor who just carries his own crazy light around with him ;)

superbowl

Rebekah and Jeff hosted our small group and friends at their home for the Super bowl.  They went above and beyond in their preparations which basically means they had Dr. Pepper in cans for me :) Seriously though they had a great set up and a fire pit outside and football shaped brownies and pbjs for the kids and so on and so on.

I did make sure to watch the entire halftime show and get way too teenagery about Destiny's Child all on stage together.  However, I saw almost none of the game and very few commercials BUT just being in the same home with so many of my dearest friends was worth the evening.  These are the people we do life with and I love seeing pictures of the simple stuff :)

sunday song

Oh How I Need You
All Sons and Daughters


Lord I find You in the seeking 
Lord I find You in the doubt 
And to know You is to love you 
And to know so little else 
I need You 
Oh how I need You (x3) 

Lord I find You in the morning 
Lord I seek You everyday 
Let my life be for Your glory 
Woven in your threads of grace 
I need You 
Oh how I need You (x3) 

Light glorious light 
I will go where You shine 
Break the dawn , crack the skies 
Make the wave right before me 
In Your light I will find 
All I need, all I need is You 

Light glorious light 
I will go where You shine 
Break the dawn , crack the skies 
Make the wave right before me 
In Your light I will find 
All I need, all I need is You 

Oh how I need You (x8)
