Birthdays 13 and 17!

Jessica was born two days before Michael's birthday. They have always been really good sports about sharing family b-day dinners and such. This year Jessica had to share with a lot of different things that were going on. We had the fair parade so Cory and I had to be at the lineup at 7 to put the float back together after driving it to St. George. They did a great job though and we had minimal repairs. They won 1st place. We were able to meet the kids at JBs in Hurricane for breakfast by 8:45. Then we attended little Jada Harris's funeral. The Harriss were Jessica and Christian's Sunday school teachers. They are such amazing people. So strong. They have an amazing extended family also. After that Jessica had 2 friends come over, Ashley and Aubree. They made Tiger shirts, swam, and got ready for the fair. It was Jessica's wish to have Michael take them to the fair and thats what they did. We ended up taking Christian and his friend that night too and we met up with the girls about 11. Jess was really sick! But they had a lot of fun I think. Michael turned 17! Old enough to buy rated "M" games. Ha ha. That is what he said anyway. He woke up early and we made him breakfast. Jess had already made b-day signs and decorated his truck. Then we walked both his and Jessica's schedule since the first day of school is in 2 days. It really bites that their b-days are so close to school. Last year was fun because the 1st day of school was on his 16th birthday! We were able to drop off his car at the school and get his driver's license before school started. It worked out really well. After we walked through the schools we registered his truck and went to Hollister and Costco. Michael had football so I made a nice dinner and he made it home about 9:45 to eat it. The life of an almost grown-up! We are all excited about the year to come. Michael is a Junior and Jessica is the oldest in the Intermediate school as a 7th grader. We are excited for football (Skyline this Friday) with both Christian and Michael. Cory will be able to come home for both JV and Varsity games. It will be nice having him home.
