This Sunday was confirmation day. Here is the confirmation class of 2008, Phil’s first, Eric, Drake, KateLynn and Makala.>All Nighter.

Friday night Phil had an “all nighter” at the church with our Jr. High Catechism students. They have such an amazing ability to consume food and to not need sleep. They played some games and went over to the school to run around in the gym. Then came back to the church to eat more and continue to not require sleep.
Here are some of them not sleeping.
Musical chairs was a lot of fun!
Poor Drake never had a chance.
By 3:30 Phil and I, not being Jr. High kids, were pretty useless just waiting for 7am and a nice soft bed. I only made it until 4. Phil’s the real hero of this story.
He put a movie on and to his surprise the kids became sleepier and sleepier finally drifting off to sleep. Then he made them all get up and clean up their mess.>Happy Birthday!

Yesterday was Phil’s 29th birthday! He was surprised with a wonderful breakfast of all his favorites; hash browns, boiled eggs, bacon and homemade biscuits. He’s such a lucky boy! Also, he finally got to open his cards and a present from my mom. Little did he know that the day would hold another surprise that evening, a secret meatball and spaghetti supper with some good friends! I’d busied myself all week plotting right under his nose and it really paid off.
A shirt from my mom!
Phil arrived home hoping to run off and play some basketball then have a quiet evening. I think he enjoyed what I had planned for him instead.
Look how much fun he’s having!
I made baked spaghetti for the guests and myself, but Phil will have no part of spaghetti with meat in the sauce. He’s a strictly meatballs guy. He had his own birthday boy plate. These happen to be the best meatballs I’ve ever made. Believe it or not, I didn’t, he ate all of this.
There’s my baked spaghetti. It was a hit.
And a chocolate chip birthday cake. He did not eat all of this. I almost did though.
My surprise party went very well. I think I’ll do it again next year.>Spring in the village.

Spring is finally here. At last, warm days, cool nights, short sleeves and more green than I’d ever imagined. Surviving such long winters does make you appreciate the newness and life Springtime brings.
Phil and I express our appreciation by taking time to smell the JAPANESE magnolia tree in our friend Eldon’s yard.
Phil looks cooler doing it than I do.
Eldon is letting Phil and I use his garden this year! Here is the future home of sweet corn, tomatoes, strawberries, green beans, peppers, lettuce and of course more onions than we’ll know what to do with!
Onions!
