A plethora of birthdays!

We have all of our birthdays in the spring (except for Joshua), so we get to enjoy lots of cake and celebrating!

Simon turned 2 and that is always exciting!

He even got a rainbow cake!  

He was a fan of the cake!  

And an even bigger fan of the presents!  We had fun convincing Hyrum that none of these were for him.  Always an adventure!

Eating the cake is always his favorite part!

Jacob turned the big 10.  He is now into double digits!   His cake was the shape of a soccer ball.  Hmmm. . . we are slightly lame.  But it was made of rice crispy treats and that was fun.

We also had a strange allergic reaction go around.  Both Michael and Jacob got it.  Some steroids took care of it but it was rather unpleasant.  But Michael is now 14 and is excited to go to Youth Conference and a High Adventure camp.  The joys of being 14!  

Even daddy got some fun surprises.  He has always wanted a dog and the opportunity and dog seem to be a great fit.  Welcome to the family, Jet!  

The boys got a bedroom makeover, so they got kicked out for a week.  Simon enjoyed the easy access to the boys in the morning. 

Hyrum wanted in on the fun!  

We have had a lot of fun and adventures and are now looking forward to more gardening, camps and the big Hutchings' family reunion!
