The August birthdays snuck up on us in the midst of a busy summer! John's birthday was August 1 and he turned 21, Grace turned 12 on the 22nd, Will turned 26 on the 24th, and Jacob turned 19 on the 26th.
We didn't have a number two candle, so we had to get a little creative. =)
We are glad when Will and Brittany get to come for birthday celebrations.
We had a full house on Grace's birthday - Pap, Nana, & Aunt Lynn, and Will and Brittany came over.
Opening presents.
Grace chose ice cream for her dessert, and we enjoyed visiting in the living room while we ate it.

Jacob's birthday!
Jacob's birthday was on a Sunday, so he opened his presents the night before; but he decided to have his cake on Sunday at lunch.
Eating lunch with a friend from church.
Around all those birthday times we had a singing appointment scheduled, so we had to find time to practice for that. One night we went to over to our church to practice with the sound system.
Sleeping buddies!

In September we had fun celebrating Dad and Uncle Mike's (his twin brother) birthday together.

Wowsers loves to get on the top of your head and massage it with his claws!
Amanda had her first lesson from Mom on cutting the boys hair. Let's just say John was a little nervous what his hair would look like after she got through, but she did a good job under Mom's supervision. =)
Boone and Lucas love to go along with whoever is taking the daily walk down to the mailbox.
"Blessed be the Lord, Who daily loads us with benefits,
the God of our salvation!"
~Psalm 68:19
Nice bow Jacob. Are you sticking the deer hide to make sure it is dead? Boone is standing in the open doorway of the room addition saying "Nice dog house guys".
