Keaton's 5th birthday

So we had Keaton's 5th birthday today! We all drove to Des Moines to visit Jennie and Kevin. They just had a new baby girl, and John and Marilyn flew in and Sheri was there with her little new baby. So we had a lot of wonderful things to celebrate! This is the only picture I got, because my camera that I did bring, was dead. But it was a lot of fun. We got there in the morning, the kids were so excited to see their cousins. They headed outside to the sandbox and trampoline. It was a beautiful day, the weather was perfect. Marilyn made cinnamon roles, which are always yummy, and we had some delicious salads and grilled hot dogs and hamburgers, and chicken legs. The men took the kids to the park for a while in the afternoon so us women could take care and enjoy the babies, and visit with out to many interruptions. We had the birthday party for Keaton after dinner. He opened his presents, and he got a few movies, play doe, a game boy, a fire truck, a skate board, which he got from his Aunt Sheri, two swords, a new Wii game, and hot wheels cars from his brothers. I brought a cake and a fruit pizza, which we all ate, and then Sheri took off to go home to Omaha. We stayed a little longer and had a Wii tournament. So much fun! I really like being with all the family. Everyone gets along so well and enjoys being with each other. All the kids get along well too, and that is very nice. It was just a fun day. I'm so glad we have some family out here close. It would be kinda lonely if we didn't.

We got home around 11, it was late but well worth it.
