happy birthday to you...

we celebrated mark's birthday at the lake this year. it was a rainy july 2, but the kids made the most of it and LOVED playing in the rain...
while i was busy making one of mark's favorites-- homemade ice cream. i made strawberry and peach. he thought it was good, so i was happy. :)


we celebrated with my family (the blanchettes) and had a really yummy steak dinner complete with decorations made by the kids and of course a few gifts. (i lost these pics while they unloaded to my computer, something crazy happened! so sad! :()

mark is the best husband and greatest daddy in the world so we were all so excited to have a day to celebrate him! happy birthday mark. we love you and are so thankful for everything that you are and all that you do for us!! :)
