~19 on the 19th~

James had his 19th birthday on the 19th of June!!  He is such a remarkable young man and we are so proud of him.  He is working so hard @ Zion's bank to save up $$$ for his mission that he will be serving very soon!

As I was looking through some pictures, I felt a little sad, that he is growing sooooo  fast, but I am also happy at the same time for the amazing person he is growing up to be!  His birthday fell on Father's day this year, so he shared his birthday with his dad!  They both wanted Banana Cream pie, so that is what they got!

Happy Birthday Jamers!!!  We love you!!

 

BEFORE!!

 I loved these candles, however they melted before James was able to blow them out!!

James loves beef Jerky....he also got an Oil vile and some ties for his mission.

AFTER!!!
Thanks for 19 fun filled years :)

"He is 17 going on........ 18."

Jacob had his 17th Birthday,  he had a fun day of school ;) and then went with James later that night to a Bees game.  We actually celebrated on Sunday with the family.  His special dinner consisted of.......

 *Dutch oven Pork ribs

and Potatoes with onions and bacon  and of course veggies.

We played a good game of 5 crowns

 Jacob loves "Chocolate cake"

I even used my cute birthday decorations.

"17"

James, Ashlee and Jake!

"Fancy Dancer"

Ashlee had her end of the year recital on Saturday night.  She has worked SO hard and has waited So long for it.  She was absolutely amazing (no Bias here) ;).  We spent ALL morning at her dress rehearsal, which is always the not so fun part....it takes so long....But we managed  to get through it. 

She was in 2 dances, Jazz and Ballet.. and she nailed them both.  I couldn't have been happier than to see my (not so) little girl do such a great job after working so hard.

Love you ASH!!!!
