The Birthdays of May

There is only one month out of the year that is shared for birthdays.  That month is May!

Kiera turned 14 on the 4th.  Samuel actually came up with the idea for her cake this year.  We put Star Wars action figures on it and said, "May the 4th be with you"

The young women have this cute sign that gets put out at each girl's house when they have a birthday.  We love it and then the whole neighborhood knows whose birthday it is!



Shenna painted her car at lunch so that when Kiera came to the parking lot after school to get a ride home, this is what she saw.  She said the ride home was lots of fun!

The other May birthday is Enoch's.  He was supposed to be a June baby, but decided to come early.  This year he (or should I say "I had") a cake decorating fail.  Because his birthday was full of about 20 different things, we realized that the only time we would all be together to sing to him and open presents would be at 6:10 a.m.  I made and decorated his soccer ball cake the night before.  However, when we woke up in the morning, gravity had taken its' toll and the black frosting had slid down to the bottom.  Oh well, he didn't seem to care and the cake tasted the same anyway. 

he did a great job blowing out the candles.

 It always amazes me with this kid that he is always the most excited for soccer stuff.  Since he was growing out of the cleats that have been used by all the kids in the family, I bought him new cleats that aren't just black.  The thing now is colored cleats.  His  are blue.  And he loves them!

The smile says it all!

Happy Birthday to Kiera and Enoch!  Thanks for making our family complete!
