John's birthday was February 26th. It also happend to be an Aggies basketball game. John works at the score table, so Ryland and I (Jolene) went to the game and held up those signs that John and Ryland have in the picture. (Alyssa and her cute little boys were visiting us and she is my SUPER BIG HELPER and she made the posters with Ryland's help). Then when we got home from the game we sang "Happy Birthday" to John and he blew out his candles on his basketball cake/cupcakes (Alyssa made these too!!! I was so grateful she was here to help!!)

Hayden's birthday- March 20, 2007
notice Hayden got a whole box of Funyuns for his birthday. That was what he asked for. He ate them all and decided he didn't want Funyuns for awhile after that, but he is back to eating them again. I don't think he'll ever ask for a whole box of them again, though!

No, there is nothing wrong with Hayden (he is the one with his head turned to Tim making a goofy face- he just loves trying to be silly in pictures!) This is all our children and grandchildren and son-in-law
