April Ninth

April ninth is Eden's (supposedly) actual birthday.  She (supposedly) turned seven years old.  Time to cut the supposed's but that is the truth.  From now on she will have a "happy birthday" on April ninth!  This day is special because Don and Coleen's daughter (Sadie) that passed away from leukemia was born on April ninth!  Ironically, we celebrated with Don and Coleen for Eden's first birthday in America.  We also talked about Sadie, who would have turned 18 years old!  

We left early on Monday to get to Phoenix in time for dinner with my cousin, Joann Krisher and her family!  My sister also met us there and brought a cake that her friend made for Eden.  It was super cute and Eden was delighted with the cake and to be able to celebrate again!




Auntie Crystal insisted that she wear this!

the kids minus Cyrus, who thinks he is getting too old to be included!

more cake!!

Eden got a piggy bank from Mom and Dad.

polly pockets

Barbie from Aunt Crystal

sunglasses from Auntie Crystal.

Bereket had a buddy to play with....

or boy toys anyway!!  Traiten wasn't too sure about sharing his special toys!




On Tuesday we walked Joann and Brandon's girls to school, which was just a couple blocks away!  The sun was shining and it was set out to be a very warm day!!  Then, we headed south to Casa Grande convention grounds where preps were just off to a start and we had some time with some very special people there!!

The boys stayed at home!
A picture with my sis before leaving the Krisher's house!

We did a little of playing (Susan Hansen was involved).

and a little of helping out.
Well, a little of this called painting too!  Glad Katreese helped Crystal and I out!
 We left Casa Grande late and set out for Crystal's house in Vista.  A few hours later, we unpacked ALL of our luggage in Crystal's house and tumbled into beds!!

I know the feeling of being "too old" for pictures around a cake! :)
