Sorry for the lack of posts! I have plenty to post but I have been BUSY! It seems that May is the busiest month of the whole year. Here is just a sample of the last two days. I made meatballs and spaghetti for the youth of our ward. That is about 70 kids, so 3 meatballs apiece equals 210 meatballs! Yeah! I got Adam and the boys packed up for the Father and Sons Camp out tonight. I often wonder why I had seven kids right now I am wondering why I only had two boys!! Anyways, packing including planning and buying the food for the breakfast Adam is in charge of in the morning, six gallons of milk, 15 dozen eggs, and five pounds of cheese is just the start! I also went to Zoe's play she did at school and two baseball games! That is all of top of the unpacking I am still doing and all the regular stuff that happens daily! Busy, busy, busy but that is my life and I do love it!!
On to the birthday post! Nikolas celebrated his birthday while we were in CA. He turned the big 1-3!! Amazing I know!!!! I can't believe I have a teenager!! The kids keep saying things like "Nik is not a kid anymore!" and "Nik is a teenager!" with so much love and awe that I had to either laugh or cry!! My favorite quote comes from Britain who said that now Nik was a teenager he, "had to go to college!" Whoa!
Through the weekend he ended up with four cakes! What a way to celebrate a big birthday! One cake was at my in laws house! Nik and my Mother-in-law share the same birthday! This is all the cousins! It is quite a crew!!
Nik had a cake at my parent's house too!
My Mom made Nik a new quilt for his bed, BYU of course! She did an amazing job!!
Thank you Vanna!!
When he got home we celebrated with root bear floats and more presents!
We had the kids all give Nik a kiss as they give him his present!
Nik did NOT want Ammon kissing him!!
Ammon still trying to kiss Nik while he was distracted! Zoe tossed her present to Nik and stayed far away!
Nik got a hand-me-down iPhone to use as an iPod. He has been wanting one for a while and was saving his money to buy one so he was ecstatic to get one even though he didn't show it!!
He also got lots of cash, two new wii games and a new set of golf clubs! The boy is set!!
Happy Birthday Nik!!!

I think it’s totally fitting to enter the teen years with extra birthday cakes! 🙂 Happy Birthday, Nik!
he is so excited about his new ipod. He is always talking about it or doing something with it when I see him. Haha. Happy birthday Nik!!!
