September Birthdays

I can't believe how old my kids are getting, which means I'm getting older. Ashley turned 11 on September 5th. She is a joy to have around. I use to struggle with her, but she has sure turned out to be very pleasant and helpful. She is playing the violin, likes volleyball, basketball and most days likes to play with her sisters.  She requested poppy seed bread for breakfast with yogurt and fruit and we took her to Bluebird Resturant for her birthday dinner.  She requested an ice cream cake again this year. 

Tyler turned 15 on September 19th.  He is so tall, 6 feet and also very pleasant to be around, most of the time.  Friends are very important and luckily we like all his friends and are pleased with his choices.  Tyler wanted pancakes for breakfast, sweet and sour chicken for dinner.  He really wanted cinnamon rolls for breakfast, but I didn't have time to make them, so I had them ready for a snack after school.  He brought a friend home to share them with.  Tyler plays the clarinet, loves basketball and has a game every Wednesday for the next 6 weeks.  He is a basketball ref for the first and second grade rec team.  He requested a new set of scriptures for his birthday.
