Two birthday boys always makes April 22nd our favorite.
Nick opened his presents first. He wanted a dirt bike. Nope.
Austin was next.
He wanted a automatic pool vacuum.
Spike ball for the 12-year-old.
24 dodge balls proved to be the best purchase of the day. Once they were all blown up, we decided to all stay home from school and enjoy the day (poor Austin still went to work).
We spent three hours in the yard playing every game imaginable.
Rainbow order was a must.
"Kitty" came.
That's what we did all day.
We ate dinner hot snicker doodle ice cream sandwiches en lieu of cake.
The old man finished off his day on the tread mill. The young lad finished off his day with a shower.
Nick grew up this year receiving the priesthood and attending the temple. He read a novel a week for school, and although he won't admit it, I think reading is way more tolerable. I often find him loving Molly, teasing Ryan and Eddie, singing with Maddie, hugging Maisie, riding upside-down on Andy's hover board, and being cheered on by Meg. Nick still sings with his soul and loves a back rub during
scriptures. We love this boy.
Austin works tirelessly everyday providing and protecting his family. He seems to less encumbered now that he is not the bishop. However, his faith has not changed, just his "TO DO" list. I still haven't seen one thing he does not do well. He laughs and plays and jokes and throws and lives his life for others. He makes my life more complete and beautiful.
