Dad & Skyler B-Day

Well on the 10th Eric and I made a quick trip down to my parents house because my dad was being put in the bishopric. He was totally in shock!!! lol It was great though. He didn't think that he would ever be in that position. It is amazing. Yes, I know it is just the same old thing for a lot of people but it was definitely something new in our family. I don't know of anyone in our family who has been in the bishopric ever. It is definitely a neat experience for our whole family...












Skyler's birthday was great!! He said he really enjoyed the day. He got to open some presents first thing in the morning and the rest after school. I still can't decide which was his favorite, but he really enjoyed everything. Each year,as something different, Skyler gets a new water globe for his birthday. This tradition has turned into so much fun. Skyler loves getting them and has decided that he will collect them all the time. He now has six (we didn't start until two years ago)and his latest one is so cool. All the parts inside move when it is wound up. Eric and I found it when we went to San Diego earlier this year. He also really loved the puppet, as you will see. I took the day off and went over the have lunch with Skyler, he wanted a cheese burger and milkshake. So along with baloons and party hats we rocked the school lunch room with his class. lol It was rowdy. I bet his teacher was way glad to see me take all that home. We then took Skyler out for dinner at Applebees; he chose there because he loved the song they sing on your birthday. Then we went to "Bedtime Stories". This is a really cute movie. We all enjoyed it. Skyler's cake was Legoland Star Wars for the Wii. That is definately his new favorite thing!!! We got one for Christmas from my parents and he wanted a game and another controller for his birthday...so he got it. But his cake he really loved. He wouldn't let us cut the "Luke" on the top the whole time. I finally had to throw it out yesterday.
