Birthdays...

This month contains the birthdays for three of our grandchildren. Carter will be celebrating his birthday on the 8th. He will turn eight years old. He gets to go to his favorite place - Soda Springs to Grandma and Grandpa Reutzel's cabin. He will have a great time riding four wheelers, catching bugs, and spending time with the people he loves most - his family.

Brooklyn will celebrate her second birthday on the 14th. She is just happy to celebrate anywhere - life is just one big celebration for "B". She loves everyone and loves to tease her brother "J". We get to spend some extra time with her and J this coming week and we are really looking forward to it.

Tyler Wood will be celebrating his 13th birthday on the 15th. WOW - a teenager! He will be celebrating his birthday in Lacey, WA with his favorite people - his family. One of these years we might be able to celebrate a birthday with Tyler on his birthday, but for now, we'll just hope we get a few pictures.

There is one more birthday this month, and I believe it is on the 8th. He's not a grandchild or a child or even an official relative - his name is Tom Halverson and oddly enough, he is in Thailand, but Natalie will be there to make sure this birthday is a very special one!

This month will find Bill, Marti, and me spending some time with some great people as we vacation to Nevada and Arizona. We are really looking forward to our trip and we are going to just take our time and savor every moment.

This is going to be a great summer - especially in July - I'll telll you more about that later.
