Colby turned 6

'Tis the season for birthdays around here. Colby requested a robot cake for his birthday.

Sienna thought he might like one as a present also. He did.

His favorite gift was his first real Lego set with Batman and Joker and their aircraft. When given the choice of what he wanted to do on his birthday (e.g. playdate, movie night, family games, etc.) he just wanted to play with his Legos. (Good shopping, Dad!)

Baptism Day

Sienna's 8th birthday was followed by her Baptism and Confirmation. Bryan performed the ordinances. It was a special day that I hope she will remember for a long time. We're grateful for the friends that were there to support her decision. Here are a few pictures from the event.

Sienna's Lucky Day

Sienna turned 8 on Mar 22, and she celebrated her birthday with friends on St. Patrick's Day. The festivities included a craft,

games like "Leprechaun's Gold",

measuring Sienna on our growth chart wall, the spanking machine,

lots of craft-type presents (Sienna's friends know what she likes),

a stampeding treasure hunt to find the Pot of Gold (of party favors, hidden in the oven),

and of course cake and ice cream and other rainbow/green food.

It was a great day for Sienna. One of her presents from us was an excursion with Mom to see the Broadway Musical of "Mary Poppins" at the downtown theatre. She was very excited about it and loved the show, even though it started at her normal bedtime and she was quite tired.

Happy Birthday Sienna!

Budding Artist

Last month one of Colby's art pieces from school was selected by his art teacher to represent Lipscomb Kindergarten grade at the Williamson County Art Show. The show is held at the Nashville Frist Art Museum. Way to go Colby!
