Happy Birthday!

This past weekend was quite eventful with birthday celebrations!  To kick it all off, Riley's Godparents had their first child.  Dayton James Clarke, aka Riley's new best friend, made his entrance on Thursday, 3/31/11.  Riley was so excited to meet him - and that he did on Friday!  What a special moment for all of us.  He kept wanting to give "Day-ton" hugs and kisses.  He's going to be such a great, big best friend! 

Fast forward to Sunday...we celebrated V's 12th birthday.  How in the world have 12 years gone by? Sheesh!  He is not supposed to be 12 yet.  Can we just start going backwards in years?  Anyways, it was a great day for a cookout.  We had the family over and it was great just to sit back and watch the kids run and play.

I really need to work on some magic potion that I can give the boys to make them stop aging!  It is just too much fun right now...and Dad and Mom are still cool.  Maybe I can just come up with a potion to brainwash them into always wanting to hold our hand, give us a hug in public or cuddle on the couch.

*Note to V and Riley - Please don't ever lose that fun-loving, goofy spirit that you both possess. 

P.S. If anyone has an idea for this "invention" to make kids stay young, let me know!
