We arrived home safely from our vacation. We had a few minor car issues to be dealt with in Oregon and one more minor issue once we were home but Greg was able to fix everything with a little/lot of help from Uncle Mark and thankfully we didn't have a break down at any time. Financially it could have been much worse and miraculously (And I mean that literally!) we had enough funds for all the repairs, and all our other expenses as well, so I can't complain too much.
Isaac was especially grateful for the money miracles because he wasn't ready to sacrifice his birthday gift wish in exchange for car repairs. It's hard to believe that this handsome boy is 14! He can now legally attend church dances and he'll be ordained a Teacher on Sunday. He's been the Deacon quorum president for the past several months and he's looking forward to less responsibilities for as long as possible. Today, as we celebrated his birthday, he enjoyed skipping school and playing with his birthday gift.

| And the much begged for birthday present, a cool 4X4 R/C truck. |
 |
| And to end his special day, Grandma Budden's jello cheesecake, so yummy! |
I think he's a happy 14 year old. I know we're happy to have him in our family. He's fun! He makes up songs that we'll probably be singing for the rest of our lives. He breaks out in song regularly and he can be very helpful and sweet when he wants to. We're lucky to have him!

What, you let him play hooky from school on his birthday! Looks like a cool truck Isaac, I think I would have stayed home to play with it too! McClane looks like he is happy for you, I think he wants to drive it ... Good choice on your birthday cake too, my favorite jello cheesecake!!!
