Now the boys think that I made this whole ‘Golden Birthday’ thing up – but I’m pretty sure that I didn’t. And with today being Kyle’s Golden Birthday it’s just a good reason to kick it up a notch right? He’s 28 on the 28th. We were able to skype with both boys tonight and to say that I loved doing that is such an understatement. I know that I’ve talked about technology before and how it can be so overwhelming, but if you’re the Mom and have two boys that live quite a distance apart – the heck with those people who say that we can get along without the internet! Now granted this was the first time that we all were on the call and it worked surprisingly well. We found out that the first week of school has been going good for William and Kyle will be traveling this weekend to visit a city that he’s been wanting to go to. He’s taking his new camera that we gave him for his birthday and checking the city out. If you think that I like taking pictures – both boys like photography as much as I do. Which I think is pretty cool! My dad always liked to take pictures and it’s a pretty harmless hobby if you ask me. Kyle got his Birthday box in the beginning of this week which only took about 7 days (including the weekend to get there) There are a lot of things that I’m not good at and I’m not afraid to confess that either. But I’m really good at packing a shipping box to send to the boys. The box that I sent to Kyle wasn’t very big but I ended up packing 25 things inside it. Now the things that were packed ranged from a couple pairs of shorts, 5 books, a family size bag of Doritos, to a couple pounds of beef jerky and almond bark coated pretzels… plus a ton more stuff! It’s really too bad that there isn’t a job for this talent huh?
Birthday card for Kyle
So like I said we had a chance to skype with the boys and below is a picture that I took. We asked Kyle to pretend to be blowing out the candles on the cake for the picture. What a good sport!!
And did you guess the picture from last night? This is what I posted
And this is what it actually was. It’s the sunflowers just starting to get their seeds 
so glad you got to skype and share kyle’s bday with him. my kids pish poshed the whole ‘golden birthday’ thing too, but no – we did not make it up! the sunflower picture had me fooled. pretty cool.
