SERGIO"S BIRTHDAY

HAPPY BIRTHDAY UNCLE SERGIO!


We are so sorry that we could not be there for your birthday, but we wanted to send a birthday wish out to you!


Sergio - We searched high and low to find the perfect birthday present for you. To our surprise, it was not as easy of a task as we thought it would be. Kenton thought he might get something for you native to your homeland. Kenton took a quick flight down to Mexico, but got caught up in all of the fun stuff to do down there, that he forgot to look for a birthday present. Before, he knew it - it was time to catch his flight home. Kenton was hoping that Kaelyn might have found the perfect something while she was out looking for a present. He was keeping his fingers crossed.

In the meantime, Kaelyn had hopped on over to the County Fair in search of some unique treasure for you. Unfortanately, all she could come across was a ride on a vintage fire truck. She figured this would be perfect for her Papaw (considering he was a fire fighter for more than 20 years), but not up her Uncle Sergio's alley. Now it was up to Emma . . .

Emma came up with this great idea! She had the perfect present for her Uncle Sergio. She could put on a surprise birthday party for you - Emma put up balloons and streamers. She even put out party plates and hats. Then, she got busy in the kitchen and baked a cake. She knew she could after reading, "Froggy Bakes a Cake." - (she figured she would omit the chocolate covered flies with this cake though."

Emma couldn't help herself - the cake was too good! She ate the whole thing before she could even call you up and invite you over.

It was all up to Kenton to pull something together quick. He might not have a present in hand for you, but he has a great voice and a broadway debut behind him. - He would serenade you . . . here is Kenton in full costume singing, "Feliz Cumpleanos a ti!"

We Love You, Sergio!

Happy Birthday to You and many Moooorrrre!

THE WIGGLES LIVE


THE WIGGLES LIVE!
Sarah and Sergio invited us to Charlottesville, VA to go see the Wiggles with them in the new arena built right across the street from their house. No troubles with parking or taking an hour to get home. We just walked right in and walked right out when it was over. This picture to the left shows the Wiggles on stage with Dorothy the Dinosaur. Unfortunately, Greg (yellow shirt) was sick and he had Sam standing in for him.

Check out Murry Below!

As Murry walked by he stopped and shook Kenton's hand. Kenton was thrilled!

Kenton, Elli (his cousin), and Grandma Mary enjoy the show!

Elli, Kenton, and Katie pose for a picture as Jeff sings on stage!

Kenton waves goodbye Anthony at the end of the concert.
It was a great time for all of us. We enjoyed watching the kids get so excited singing and dancing with THE WIGGLES!

PAPAW'S BIRTHDAY

Emma wanted desperately to attend her Papaw's Birthday Party! She had to come up with a plan to get there- Ah-hah! She would flag down the postman by batting her pretty blue eyes and waving a makeshift sign.

Her sign read as follows, "HEY Mr. Postman, Can you take me to my Papaw's house?"

Kenton caught wind of what Emma was up to and didn't want to miss out on the party either, so he convinced her to let him share in the efforts of flagging the postman down!

All the commotion Emma and Kenton were causing made Kaelyn pull her head out of her favorite book to come and see what was going on. She too wanted to take part in waving the postman down!

Unfortuantely, the postman said he could not take any live cargo through the mail. Well, you can imagine what a dissappointment this was to Emma and her siblings. Emma couldn't hold back the tears (she thought this might cause the postman to have pity on her; unfortuantely, it did not work and she was left to figure out something else to do)

Emma figured that she would just have to send a message to her Papaw live via satellite. After a few trial runs Emma was able to get the video shot she was looking for - A serenade for her Papaw done by none other than his 3 beautiful, charming, delightful, and energetic grandchildren; Kaelyn, Kenton, and Emma.

So here it goes . . . . Please welcome Kaelyn, Kenton and Emma singing, "Happy Birthday" for their one and only Papaw!




Here's hoping you have a happy birthday! We all love and appreciate you. Wish we could be there to spend the special day with you and the family.
Love,
Justin & Katie
Emma had so much fun singing Happy Birthday to her Papaw that she decided to try her hand at Broadway. Check her out below at her Broadway debut singing, "Teasing Mister Alligator."
