THE SUMMER BIRTHDAYS ARE BEGINNING!!!

HAPPY 32ND BIRTHDAY ERIC!!!

We love you because...


...YOU are a COLLEGE GRADUATE!!!

...you love our Stacie!

...you are..."trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous,
kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean and reverent"
(Robert's contribution!).

Have a great birthday this month and a wonderful trip to Yellowstone.

IN THE "SOAK ZONE" EVERYWHERE WE WENT!

This is how we spent at least 50% of our trip!

We had a great hotel in Tampa with a great view! Little did we know that we would soon be watching huge bolts of lightning and heavy rain coming right at us. We were glad to be inside and the light show was spectacular!

Nearby Clearwater, Florida was beautiful as well.

Busch Gardens was like going to a zoo with a crazy looking roller coaster in the middle of it all!

We love SeaWorld in Florida...watching these ocean creatures never gets old. The rain came down but the shows went on as scheduled!

EVERYONE had on poncho's!

And my hair looked like this pretty much the entire trip.

We celebrated Robert's birthday at EPCOT, a place both of us love and getting in for free for your birthday doesn't hurt either!

May is gardening month at EPCOT. They have lots of Disney characters growing all over the property.

Here's Robert in "Japan" just before the rain began to pour.

And did it ever pour...Robert loved splashing in rain puddles and swishing a little "extra" rain my way. Thanks for that dad!

Our time at the parks was spent in rain poncho's...however it was very warm and a lot of fun. We loved it and the rain just added a fun new twist. What a great trip. Can't wait to go somewhere/anywhere again!!!

IT'S JENN'S TURN!!!

Hope you have a great birthday Jenn!

We love you because...

...you help plan our family parties!

...you are such a good mommy!

...you love Paul!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY POPS!

Since Grandma Toone has him accustomed

to celebrating for at least a month,

I'd thought I'd post this a little early...

and we'll be leaving for Florida on the 16th.

I love you because...

...you love to travel (anytime/anyplace!)

...he still makes me laugh, most of the time.

...he turns my bed down for me every night

(bet you didn't know that!)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD!

WELCOME SPRING!!!

Last week is now just a bad memory...

What a difference a couple of days can make!

Dad has now put the snowblower away for the winter.

We sure hope spring decides to stays with us this time!

78 YEARS YOUNG!

It's that time of year again!

Grandma's 78th birthday is this coming Saturday, April 18th.

She say's she doesn't want any presents...but I know she'd love a "Happy Birthday" wish from whoever would like to give her one!

Dad always tries to be "uplifting" when he's around grandma...so I thought we'd share some pictures from our Thanksgiving trip to Zion's.

Dad was just trying to be "uplifting"!

Grandma getting a "nudge" onto a rock to have her picture taken

A little helping hand from dad

laughing so hard that there were tears, then finally...

...Success!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRANDMA!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LANDON!

Already 2 years old! What would we do without little Landon?!

We love him because...

...First of all...he looks too cool in sunglasses and spiked hair!

...he knows what he likes (such as "The Little Einsteins")

...he's so smart, like when he closes his eyes when you're trying

to distract him from something...he wins!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LANDON!
