Happy Birthday Gerald!

Happy 31st Birthday Gerald!  We started the day by going to our favorite breakfast spot, The Original Pancake House!  YUM!!!  Then we traveled north to celebrate all the August birthdays on my side of the family.  My sister, Maegen, and my brother, Pete, also have August b-days.  We had a great lunch, prepared by my mom, followed by swimming.  
I am posting this picture for my brother-in-law, Aaron.  It's a great picture of my husband IN THE POOL!!!!  (a little inside joke in my family!)
How did Gerald spend his b-day... having fun with his kiddos!  He sprayed the kids in the pool as they went down the slide!  They loved it!
Happy cousins in the pool!
Gerald also made big waves for the kids!  They ask for this every time!!
They all sit on a mat and try not to fall off as the waves crash over them!  We lose half the water in the pool!
My dad got my mom this golf cart so that all the grandkids can go for rides together!  They love it!
Happy Birthday Geri!  We love you!  We are SO blessed to have a husband and father that loves the Lord, loves his family, and loves life!  You always keep things fun by thinking of new activities to do!  

I love that you read the Bible to the boys every night!  You pray with the kids and teach them how to pray.  You give the kids their bath every night!  You take the boys on bike rides and take all the kids to the pool by yourself!  You still love to go on dates with me and give me hugs and kisses whenever you leave for the day.  You make everyone feel special!  You desire to help others and always want to do more to help those in need and those who are hurting!  You have the biggest heart!!!  I love that and I love you!

My husband's parents did the exact same thing and bought a golf cart for the grandkids to ride in. It is such a highlight and something they always look forward to doing with them. I bet your kids look forward to the same thing! They are making such great memories!

I always love catching up with your family. We seem to have much in common. Sounds like your hubby had a wonderful day. Susie
