"If You're Happy It's Your Birthday, Then Say, 'Cheese!'"

They said, "It's a boy!", and every year we celebrate him, and every day we feel blessed, and every moment with every breath we love him.

Today just happened to also be Jason's work picnic at Knoebels, and Chester was quick to decide that he would be happy to spend his birthday there!

We bought Chester a bag of dirt.... I was pretty sure that he would enjoy it, considering the specifications he had given for his birthday cake...

There are things Hazel has enjoyed more than watching other people have fun... like food... where's the part of the park with the grilled cheese sandwiches?

So glad they got the park cleaned up and opened again in time for our fun day! Thank you, Lord!

About the cake he said, "I don't care, just so long as it has rock candy on it, and I do like chocolate cake with mint icing... and we have silver BB decorations... " So, we agreed that it would be fun to make a diamond/silver mine birthday cake... chocolate, covered in mint "snow"...

Now this is more like it!

He also requested 5 rolls of duct tape... do you have any idea how many things you can make with duct tape? He also requested the used eMac we weren't sure what to do with... and he has an IOU for a day of XBox playing...

Happy Birthday, Chester! We love you to pieces! May you be richly blessed all your days, and may you always be near to the heart of God.
