Birthday Boys

McKay turned 8 on Friday!! He was so excited for his birthday this year. We did a little friend birthday party Friday after school. He was also the "Star Student" in his class last week. He had to fill out the "Star Student" paper and fill a box with things that he likes. I loved that on the paper he said that his wish was to go to Hogwarts (incidentally, this is also Malia's wish!) He also wrote down that his real name is Amitai McKay Finlayson, but he wanted to make sure that everyone knew he didn't like to be called Amitai.... only McKay.

For his birthday dinner he wanted tacos, and he wanted dirt again for dessert. We got him a ukulele for his birthday. We've been listening to him strum away all day. McKay gets baptized April 30th. He can hardly wait!


Kayden turned 17 today!! Holy smokes those years have gone fast! He wanted to go to Billman's for dinner tonight, and he asked if I would make chicken enchiladas and strawberry shortcake for tomorrow. Here's a picture of Kayden and Kristen at Billman's. Yummy!! Rik got him the bone carving, and Kayden picked out the shirt when we were birthday shopping last week.
