A Grown-Up Birthday Party (one of about 4 posts tonight)

Jay is turning 29 on Wednesday. We took our little family party outside to the campground we went to with our church a couple of weeks ago. It's so peaceful out there, and we always walk away feeling like all is right in the world.
Jay got to open presents, walk a very beautiful path, and spend his evening with the ones he loves most.
I love you, Jay! You are the best husband and father that I have ever met. You take care of us, love us, and live a godly example for everyone you meet. Happy Birthday!

Sarah and Bill Kolath said...

Those are some great pictures! My kids think birthday parties are only for kids-since we never do anything for our birthdays...

Boy---I'd take LOTS of photos on that bridge---too cool! Love all the pics---especially those of Liv with her thumb in her mouth!!

Happy Birthday, JAY! We miss you! I love the pictures - as always - especially the one of Jay and Ike smiling at each other as he holds up his card, the hand in hand and that is one awesome bridge!

Jean said...

Happy Birthday,Jay!! Looks like your party was a blast. What a neat bridge. How long is it? Amy the pics are great!

Jean said...

Marcy- Thank you. I finally decided that the only way I'm going to get better, is by taking lots and lots of pictures. It gets overwhelming when I have so many pictures that I want printed off, but it's great fun.

Nancy- Jay says, "Thanks, Nancy." :)

Sarah- Oh, Sarah. Jay's birthday lasts all month long. hahaha

Tamra- It was a sweet day. Jay and I want to just move out there and live in a cabin...a completely remodeled cabin. :)

Mom- She has been sucking that thumb a lot lately. I think she's getting more teeth.

Dawn- Jay says, "Thanks, I feel special." *?*
I love the picture of Isaac and Jay smiling at each other. Isaac loves to give people gifts. He couldn't wait for Jay to open everything. And I also love the picture of the hand holding. I took it, realizing that boys don't hold their daddy's hands very long. :(

Jean- Jay said that we'll have to measure the bridge and get back to you..ha. It's a path, so I don't know how long,,,maybe a quarter of a mile?
Josiah had me take the picture of the spider web. He was intrigued.

This looks like so much fun! I had a chance to look through your pics and really just enjoy them! Good artistic impulses :)
Your kids are adorable too!
i'm glad Jay had a good birthday, can't think of a better way to spend one.

I had to come back and comment. I love that father/son moment over the birthday card! You could tell it meant something to Ike! And Olivia just sucking her thumb while checking out the card---too cute!
