Judson's 6th Birthday and New Birthday!

I'm a bit behind... Judson turned 6 on October 5th! What a big boy. The better news? Judson had a spiritual birthday on December 10th. Grandpa Roller (dad) prayed with Judson in the midst our our crazy week of Josh's treatments and Mikiah's Mystery of Christmas performances. A perfect example of God working in the midst of the storm! What a great blessing -- years ago my dad did the same thing with me... :o)

Mikiah 12th Birthday!

Where does time go?...

Another homemade-looking cake...

This one was for the end-of-the-year celebration for Key Club at Raytown High. The kids were celebrating their year and saying goodbye and thank you to Mr. Nevinski, one of the teacher sponsors, as he will not be returning to RHS next year (sadly). It may look unprofessional, but the kids liked it, and Josh got some great pictures of blue tongues!

Punk's 15th Birthday

One conclusion you will draw quickly about my cakes -- they are, well, ummm, homemade-looking.... But, I have fun. This is actually a big cookie cake because Josh is not a huge sweets fan. The Chinese characters supposedly spell "Happy Birthday". We had a nice family celebration the night of his birthday -- on a Wednesday night, late after church. But, it was fun, and he got a very nice digital camera to take to China. My husband is the world's best at finding good deals on nice products and did it again for this birthday present. He says it's the hunting nature God put inside of men. Whatever it is, it has saved us thousands of dollars over the years!

Our kids grow up way too fast. We've had 15 wonderful years with Josh and looking forward to many, many more! I love you, Josh!
