Seth's 11th Birthday!

Seth turned 11 last week!  I can't believe it....I know I say that every year but time flies faster and I can't believe Seth is already that old.  He has been so excited and couldn't hardly wait for it to get here.  My mom, two sisters (Emily and Natalie), and niece Ezra came to spend his birthday with us (and bring us a couch).  That's why they are all sitting outside on a couch :)
Because they had to leave before the evening celebrations, we had a birthday breakfast.  We had crepes (Seth's favorite breakfast) filled with cream cheese, white chocolate or chocolate mousse, and bananas, blackberries (Seth's favorite), or strawberries.  Talk about sugar overload at breakfast but it was so tasty.  All of our favorites was cream cheese mousse with all the fruit in the middle, topped with the white chocolate mousse.

After lunch we headed out to a place called Steadmans.  They have awesome water slides, a zip line, sand boxes, a trampoline, volleyball nets, and many other fun things.  We stayed at the water slides almost the whole time and had an absolute blast.





Then most of us were very brave and tried the zip line.  It was quite a rush and the perfect height for beginners (which was definitely me!).

After playing for hours we headed home to eat Seth's favorite dinner--Hawaiin Haystacks, open presents, and eat his awesome dessert.
 Ezra is just hanging out and Seth is making a silly face because Sam is singing his family rendition of happy birthday which is like 10 verses long!

 Seth's dessert because it was that amazing!
Some thoughts about Seth:
 favorite color: royal blue

Seth is a great big brother.  He loves to play with Luke, Sarah, and Kathryn (most of the time anyway) and is a great babysitter.  He still loves to read and can be found playing legos for hours.  He has an amazing memory and is quite the artist.  We are so glad he is part of our family.

I can't believe Seth is 11, either! I've got to have the recipe for that desert! If it tastes as good as it looks, then Wow!
