Birthdays

 Yes, it is official...we have a teenager. Zachary turned 13 on Sunday. It just doesn't seem like that long ago Zach that was born during a snow storm in Laramie. Time has gone by so quickly. Sunday after church, we met Brig's family in Denver for dinner and joint party for Zach and Natalie. The kids always have fun with their cousins and they always love birthday cake and opening presents. We came home and Zach opened the rest of his family presents which all included baseball in some way. (Yep, Baseball season has started) poor Zach, I made him put on all the new baseball stuff for some pictures.  Zach will have a party with his friends Saturday night and they are all going to a movie.

Today Natalie turned 6 and enjoyed every moment of her day.  We had just moved to Colorado 6 weeks before Natalie was born.  Madeline was telling Natalie today that she remembers being in the car with Grandma and Granda Asay and on the way to pick Zach up from school when Brig called and said she had a little sister. She said she was so excited to have a sister.

Natalie started her birthday at some point very very early this morning. She came in and woke me up and all I know is that it was still dark and Natalie was dressed in her special birthday dress and birthday crown all ready for school. Natalie wore her birthday crown all day! Oh to be in Kindergarten and be able to wear a crown and show everyone just how special you are. Ben took an long nap so Brig took treats into Natalie's class in the afternoon (yes, the crown was still on). Natalie had a playdate with a friend after school and then we had her birthday dinner, cake and opened presents.  

       Tomorrow, Natalie and a few friends are going to go see the new Dr. Seues Movie the Lorax for her little party.  Next up... Brig's Birthday the big 37!
