Secrets...

Tomorrow is Nephi's 6th birthday. What he doesn't know - is that because of obligations we have tomorrow that can't be changed - we are having his birthday today! I am trying to get dinner stuff ready without him paying too much attention. We are having pizza that each person can top themselves. I made chocolate cupcakes with chocolate frosting this morning and hid them. I can't wait to see the look on his face!
I took him to the store after school to pick out cookies to share with his class tomorrow. He picked the E.L. Fudge ones that look like elves. I don't really like the idea of having to buy cookies and such from the store when I can make them myself but I do understand the reason the school has it so. Some people's kitchens would make a person sick to look at - much less eat from.
I'm off to work on more surprises! :)

I think this was in 2004. It was Nephi's first trip to the beach. The boys were all so little! My have they grown.

Meet the Parents...Russell and Candace
It all started for us when Russell left for Cape Town South Africa on a mission. Candace felt inspired to write him - so she did! We wrote for 3 1/2 years. Candace came home from her mission to the Texas Houston East Mission and we dated for 5 months. We married in July 1994 and have been happy ever after!
