Shout Hooray

Jett had a birthday

So did mom a week later but we didn't take any pictures because we didn't do anything but give her what she wanted. To sleep in and no fighting!

He is not a morning person and was up early for his birthday on a Sat when he could have slept in.
Pops stopped on his way home from work and picked up birthday doughnuts.
Later that night Jett and a bunch of his friends went bowling and he had a grand time. (from what I hear)

Need I say more?

The kids love to play football with Chris. She was so proud because although she fell she caught the ball.

Getting ready to hurl it right into my flower bed no doubt.

For German Enola had to make food for a project. She made a pork roast and potato dumplings. It smelled funny to me but apparently everyone in the class really like it and she got an A.

This spoiled little man got a Kindle Fire for his birthday from the parents and a football from Chris and I. Guess which one he uses more?

I let Enola permanently borrow my Big sunglasses so she did what she normally does. She took a picture of her cute face.

As I promised

Not when I promised though.

If you know Enola you know she gets really bad bloody noses, and this sometimes happens during them. Totally real and creepy cool at the same time.

I love the sound of the cello, even if it is the same note being practiced over and over and it doesn't always have that "lovely" sound.

Chris was kind enough to take Enola out and teach her how to drive a stick shift in my car. She did really good. I went out to see where they went and thought it was Chris driving up the street. Besides taking corners a wee too fast and needing to learn how to ease into the brakes instead of slamming them on and oh yeah trying to not drop my transmission by shifting from 2 to reverse. She did really well. Chris said she stalled once at the beginning and then he had her start and stop again and she did great.
She can't really be that old can she?

He can play the whole song but he didn't have the music in front of him and this was just from memory.
