Thanks for the Birthday Flowers!

The flowers are so beautiful! Look how they have bloomed over the last 2 days, they all started off as small buds. So pretty. Brooke and Wes want to eat my chocolates and I keep telling them, "Nope, they are mine! Gramea, Papa and Emily gave them to me for my birthday, with the pretty flowers." Thank you, I love them...

How do you keep a sick kid from going CRAZY?

So Wes has strep throat and yesterday was a nice slow day. He slept for most of it. He had a bad fever and nasty fever chills. He also threw up, which was gross. But then had a great appetite right after! Then today he is bored out of his mind. I bought Ratatouille for him to watch while home from school. But you can only watch that so many times. He is going nuts! He has finished all of his homework and created new homework for himself. Now he is trying to figure out new things to do on his computer. Pure boredom. He is looking forward to going to school tomorrow. It will be 48 hours after being on his antibiotics and the doctor approved it! Yea for Wes!!!

Happy Birthday Gramea!

I hope you are having a great birthday! We all love you so much and miss you like crazy down here. Have fun and call me when you open your present tonight! I want to know what you think!!! Wes and Brooke's card will be there shortly. We love you...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SQUIRT!!!

Emily is 18!!! What? I can't believe that! Did you get our message? Wes, Brooke and I sang to you this morning when we woke up, so it sounds terrible, but it was the first thing we did! Brooke said "Appy Behay, Ie ufe uoo!" After I hung up, Wes said, "Emily is actually a teenager now!" Sorry you didn't get that part. It made me chuckle! You should be getting our present in the mail today. Your senior picture is beautiful. I hope you had a great day, I love you and so happy to be your sister!!! Happy Birthday.
