Birthday Boys!!

 Taegen and Kyler had their birthday while we were in Utah. They got breakfast in bed and then decided it would be better to eat breakfast in front of the t.v. 

 Then we had a party at Chuck-e-cheese. All of my family was able to come celebrate with them.

Had to get a pictures of Ponga squishing into this car with Cozy. What a good gramps.

Birthday boys and Chucke!

The cousins minus Samira and Saffron.

 To Kyler:
You are AMAZING! You are such a happy camper most of the time. You wanted a cake with black frosting...we went with purple instead and you loved it.  You love hugs and kisses.  When you get hurt you always want Taegen to give you a hug and make you feel better.  You have the GREATEST smile.  You and Strider are the best of friends. You like to do the same things. You egg each other on. It takes you two forever to fall asleep because you keep switching beds or lay on the floor or read books. You absolutely LOVE Cozette and want to hold her or play with her all the time. You are very careful with her most of the time. You learned how to bow for your Cinderella ball at school and so you bow quite often. In Disneyland you bowed to all the princesses. They LOVED it.  You love music and ask me thirty times a day if you can turn on the music. You usually want bread for breakfast with butter.  You like hot lunch at school most of the time. You can totally entertain yourself but you also play really well with others.  You like to push limits and usually wait until the count of 3 to start doing whatever you are suppose to be doing.  You love school. Sometimes you get in trouble for being to aggressive at the end of the day at school.  You are getting so big. I can't believe you are already 7. Next year you will be in the 2nd grade at Linderman. That is CRAZY!  I love you so so so so much and I am so glad I am your mom.

Here is the Saffron girl.

 To Taegen
I like to call you T or T-dog. You are a total goof ball.  You have lost a lot of your front teeth so you are pretty toothless.  You LOVE school and are really sad that it's almost summer. You just want to stay in school.  You wear your dad's socks everyday and usually roll them down. It looks so goofy but you don't care.  You play sports at recess all the time.  Right now you are playing kickball but for awhile it was football or soccer. You love running around outside and anything with balls - football, kickball, soccer, tetherball, golf. You are an amazing brother to Kyler and Strider and Cozette. You are such a great help with Cozette. You are an early morning riser. You wake up every morning no later than 6:30 sometimes much earlier and are ready to go for the day. You love to play games or jump on the trampoline or ride bikes.  You try really hard at school and pay attention to little details. Sometimes you have to bring work home to finish when other kids don't because you are very careful with your work.  You are a GREAT reader and are learning to love to read. The other day Cozette was awake in her crib and I came to check on her and you were reading her a book.  You are so considerate of others and their feelings.  I am very proud of you and am so honored to be your mom. You are a great brother, friend, son, and whatever else you want to be. I love you T.
