So September is our month for birthdays - Caleb, Rachel, and Sara - we all share this wonderful month. Things have been pretty hectic, so here's a condensed course of events this month.
Most of you know the month starts off with my birthday. I decided to take a couple days off of work and I wound up spending a good portion of that working on the swing set pieces for my mom's yard. My birthday evening Heather tried to surprise me (I say tried, because I had a sense it was coming) by not telling me where we were going, but to be ready by 4:30. I had already heard from most of my family by this time, but I hadn't gotten the day-early call from my good friend Jared Moore yet. This led me to believe that we were going to meet up with them and do something. As we got in the car, Heather told me where to drive and I guessed that we would be eating out at PF Chang. Well, I called it. We had a good time at dinner with Jared and Lisa (as always) and then went to a movie afterward.
Labor day weekend came and we were about ready to assemble the swing set project. We did most of the final prep work on Saturday, and then took all the pieces, hardware, and necessary tools over to assemble it on Monday.

I robbed this picture from mom's blog. A single picture doesn't do justice to all the work that was done. Thanks to Nate and dad for sticking with me through the day to get it done. By the end of Labor day we had about everything assembled. It was a big project - one that I would probably do again, but not in the near future.
Back to birthdays...
Rachel turned 8 this month and decided she wanted a party with friends. Heather will take care of that post. What I'm covering is the family day. We had the family come down to watch football and play Beatles Rockband. We took a break to sing Happy Birthday. We had leftover cupcakes from Rachel's party, but not enough candles for me, so I started lighting the Hannah Montana cupcake decorations on fire.

Rachel took her turn...
Then Sara got her first birthday cupcake. It took a little taste of the chocolate to get her started...
... then she figured it out...
... and wanted more.

Lots of birthday singing. It was fun and fun to watch Sara enjoy her cake.
I wish there was another picture showing Sara a little later—she started getting sleepy and really rubbed that frosting all over her sweet little face. It was fun hanging out at your house—I'm glad you were all born.
I still can't believe how HUGE Sara is! I feel like I hardly know her..actually that's the truth, but that'll change in the near future. Seems as though you had a good month! Yahoo for birthdays!
Happy birthday everybody! Love Sara's pictures!
