"The Bible calls debt a curse and children a blessing; but in our culture, we apply for a curse and reject blessings. Something is wrong with this picture." ~ Doug Phillips

Clayton's Birthday...

Our Boy turned 4 and we celebrated all weekend. First off he got his birthday gift from us a week before his birthday. She is a Corgi named Missy. We let Clayton name her. She is his buddy and even gets to sleep in his room.



Clayton wanted a 'Thomas' birthday. I made this cake for him. The train would go whizzing around the track.

A very pleased boy!

Loving on Missy!
Clayton wanted to make sure Alexander had his pacifier. He was clipping it on his shirt.
Clayton was thrilled with Grandpa Gary's gift......Fishing Loot!
Fishing on Saturday...... Just getting on the lake. Grandma was holding Lindsy and Clayton was hanging on.
Reeling in the first fish. It was Grandpa's.
Daddy helping Clayton reel in his first fish.
A small mouth bass.....Good Job Clayton!
Daddy caught the biggest fish. A Walleye. Everyone else was catching small bass.
Passed out after a hard day on the boat.


Sunday Night..... Lindsy may have a future in modeling.....

What a fun post!! That puppy is absolutely adorable! I have always liked Corgi dogs, but puppies especially are too cute! Clayton & Missy look like a good pair! :) I especially loved the picture of the two of them sound asleep in the carseat. Also, I'm impressed with the birthday cake! That is so neat!!

Your kids are adorable! What sweet blue eyes. I liked the car seat pics too. Ours end up falling asleep coming home from outings. The poor older ones...all slumped over and drooling!
