Sunday was Ken's birthday. Expecting a quiet dinner at home, he was surprised when Nicole and her family, and Andy and his family came walking in right behind Grandpa Ray.

There weren't enough candles in the house to celebrate...so we used the next best thing -- Super Candle!

Check it out! 
Burnt marshmellows are the best!

There was someone on the deck that Mariah wanting to take a picture of...now I'm not sure who that was!
"I want to take a picture of Daddy"
Good bark shot
And here's Molly playing in the yard
Can't forget the trees
"Can I take your picture Aunt Nicki?"
