Another birthday!

And then, it was Weston's REAL birthday!
He woke up early in the morning and opened his presents, then ate his favorite, German pancakes.
Here's the table set for a party- before the presents were opened...
Then Weston got to sit around doing what ever he wanted while the rest of us got the house cleaned up and jobs done. THEN, Daddy took Weston to lunch at Village Inn while Mommy decorated the cake:
Notice the words of Weston's choosing: Weston's Real Birthday. :)
Maama, Pa, Bryson, Lexi, Kristi, Hyrum, Daddy, Wendy, Cindy and Weston went to see "Guardians of Ga'Hoole" in 3-D and then we all went to Wingers for dinner.
And THEN it was time for cake and presents with all the family!

What a lucky boy! Weston is one of the happiest, silliest kids I've ever seen! He's always singing, either songs he picked up on the radio, Primary songs, or just songs he made up himself. His voice gets higher and higher when he is excited, which makes him even funnier. He loves to tell jokes, play on the computer, read stories, play with his cousins, eat candy, and play songs on the piano. He's very interested in human nature--he watches others and copies what they do when they aren't looking. When we are looking we watch him back, and see a little boy with the same thoughts and expressions that we have, only much more innocent, and, from Zach's perspective, more "in-tune."
Being a second child, he's always trying to keep up with Hyrum and never quite making it, which had helped him be a laid back kid most of the time. He doesn't have to always win, he doesn't have to be the first, he's good at sharing with the little kids and supporting Hyrum in his endeavors. Oh, how we love our Weston!

Happy Birthday Weston! I've never heard of frosting spray paint- how cool, I'll have to try it sometime. Oh, and I figured the stop in Gilbert was spontaneous, I was just giving you a hard time :) Check out my blog in the next week for some more exciting updates... :)
