Birthday Blessings

Today is my 27th Birthday, and like many, I had forgotten it was my birthday until mid-morning when I received birthday wishes from a friend. Because Brian had meetings tonight, we celebrated last night with a family fishing outing the in the beautiful spring weather. I didn't catch any fish worth taking pictures of.

I've been slowly scanning pictures in from my childhood so that I can have them electronically to make a photo album and throw the hard copies away. Here are a few from birthdays/April's past:

Uncle Doug was roto tilling my mom's garden for her the day I was born, so he wrote my name and climbed the antenna tower to take a picture.

Helping dad put on chemicals in early spring field work.
Three year picture at Grandma Boender's farm house.The best slumber party ever in second grade!

Fishing with Grandma Ferguson. I'm supposed to be holding the one my biggest brother Mike has in his right hand.

Today the boys and I went to "the big house" to watch a construction company pour a new drive way and side walk. Ezra brought his little cement truck to play with in the dirt. We took along coffee time from the bountiful collection of cookies we've received as newcomers to town, which they enjoyed enough to take Ezra on a skid loader ride. They assured him that it would be a super place to ride his four wheeler when it dried.

We also planted some garden and went to a friend's house to grill hamburgers and play.
