Happy Birthday Dear Markey

The boys always insist that they aren't tired so I let them have "quiet time" instead of a nap. This happens quite a bit...
We were so excited to go and celebrate Uncle Mark's 19th birthday. He leaves on his mission soon and we will sure miss him!
The birthday boy chillin' while the Palmer's sing their amazingly wonderful birthday song (not kidding, you haven't heard "Happy Birthday" until you have heard it at one of our parties).
The kids dug this out of my parents costume box. It was the hot commodity of the evening. I think I saw every kid wear it at least once.
Traditional 19 year old presents for the mission.
My brother Dave gave Mark all of his ugly mission ties...I guess that is a good thing :)

What are we going to do without Uncle Mark? All of the grandkids adore him. He and my brother Nathan are so good to play with all of the kids. Hunter was in heaven when Mark agreed to play "wing awound the wosies" with him.
After he tired Uncle Mark out, Hunter moved on to Dad.

Best Dad ever (have I said that before? :)
Later that evening we found Palmer snuggled up with his Bible asleep. They had Sharing Time about the scriptures and Palmer totally got into it. Earlier that day when I went downstairs Palmer said "Mom I need some peace and quiet, I am trying to read my scriptures."
