Birthday Boys

Austin is 41 and Nick is 10!  Austin and Nick are super lucky that their birthday landed on Saturday.  Our morning was calm and quiet and lovely.  (Birthday breakfast and presents looks a lot like Christmas with those decorated trees and Nick's pajamas.)

We spend the day at Out of Africa.

We fed giraffes, watched tigers eat and jump in a large pool, and cooked in the hot sun.  Austin summed it up, "Well, this would be cool if I hadn't been on a real safari in Africa."  Whelp, it was a fun activity and we did have a nice time.

 Austin took a nice afternoon nap.  Nick opened fancy socks from Grandma Kim.

We love Nick because he is tender and mild.  He is the first to hold Molly and kiss the top of her head.  He loves to scare Maddie and wrestle with Andy.  He gets his homework done as school as he is home from school, and he sings so loudly in primary.
We love Austin because he is our patient protector and provider.  He goes to work everyday, mows the lawn every week, and leads us in prayer everyday.  He dances like a crazy man during dishes, almost sings audibly during family choir, and always eats all his food.
We love our two boys, just so much.
