The Pike Family

Kason thinks that it is time to keep up with his older brothers. He is so close to crawling it is scary!! He is so DANG cute and we all just have fun making him laugh...we don't really entertain him, he entertains us!!

Oh, and he broke his first tooth on the 8th of Oct. (7 months old). Yeah Kason!!!

On Friday (Sept. 12) we celebrated Mark's 28th birthday! I kept teasing him about being so old, but I had to be careful because I am not too far behind him. I just can't believe how time fly's!!! The boys and I had just as much fun "getting the party started" (as Brig and Jence would say) as we did the actual party. Of course we had to get party hats, blowers, streamers, balloons, etc... I just let the boys go to town and be in charge...with the list of items that is. :) It was hillarious and we had a blast!! (I just hope Mark had as much fun as we did!)

I just want Mark to know how much I love him. I couldn't be more blessed to have him for my eternal companion. I tell people all the time that I am pretty dang lucky that I get Mark when the times will get rough. He can build pretty much anything out of nothing , fix whatever needs fixing, is a dang good dutch oven chef, extremely hard worker, true Scout (in every sense of the word), and loves shooting things!! I always wanted a "Manly Man," and somehow I got it...and more. But most importantly, he is the best Husband and Father I could have ever dreamed of. He is a person who just wants to do what is right.

Thank You Sweetie for all that you do and for just being you. Thank you for Always making us laugh!!! Thank you for having the hobbies you do that create those precious memories with our family. Thank you for always being so good to me even though I sometimes don't deserve it and for being patient with an unpatient wife. And especially, thank you for being the Amazing example you are for our boys. You are the GREATEST!!! We love you "clear up to the heavens and back down!!"

The boys were so excited when Daddy finally got home. They threw on his party hat and "got the party started."

(And of course they had to pose for me. :) )
