summer: birthdays

We celebrated THREE birthdays this past summer:
Toby kicked off the celebrations on July 17 by turning 9.....
The pastor took the boys on their first boys-only camping trip the night
before his big day. 

Toby requested root beer floats .... and the Monsters II movie,
which we went to see that afternoon. 

His big gift from us this year was a gecko. 
We love the little reptile. 

And then .... he got to blow out candles with Num Num....
who was celebrating her 70th birthday that same week! 

Next, my little Whit turned 7 August 10th. 
Her celebrations included:
a family dinner-date to Red Robin,

her first big purchase at the American Girl Store,
(She got my favorite, the 1974 hippy girl Julie :)



and a sweet, sweet little back yard party while her favorite cousins
were here here visiting. We had this party a little early in order that Chase
might be a part.... and it was so nice for me because just 4 days later....

We celebrated the arrival of a 2nd teenager into our house.
Drew turned 13 August 14. 

His big gift this year was a new set of golf clubs.... 
(He's hoping to get to the Masters this year with his dad!!)

He requested the now famous carmel cake and dinner with his closest friends. 
He also requested that I make him ribs (which I did later in the week). 

So thankful for my sweet ones and the memories made this summer. 
They won't stop growing..... and aren't so little anymore!!!
