FOUR Teenagers!!

Yesterday was Zachary’s FAVORITE holiday! Never mind the fact that Flag Day is on his birthday! We celebrated all day. 13...another teenager! I brought him his present and told him he could open it now or wait til Stacey, Dawn and Dad gets home later in the day. He picked to wait. I was a little surprised! So, we picked up Stacey from camp she was at this week about 12:30.

After that, Matt, Zach, Stacey and I went to Country Kitchen for lunch. There was video game playing, and when we sat down to pick an afternoon movie to watch together, we were all surprised and excited to see that “Ralph Breaks the Internet” was new on Netflix! So we watched it.

When Dawn and David got home Zach opened his present...4 DVDs of Phineas and Ferb shows! He was excited! He is a huge fan! It stunk for all of us when they took Phineas and Ferb off of Netflix. It is one of those shows that the older and the younger ones both love.

We went to Oyamas for dinner because sushi is always the choice for birthdays in our house. We mused about how the next time we come will be in September when Matt and the triplets have a birthday. Matt will be 10...double digits and will get his own plate of sushi. (you have to be in double digits in our family before you graduate from chicken fried rice to a full plate of sushi). Matt can't wait. The rest can't wait either because they won't have to  share their sushi. They each have to give Matt two of their sushi pieces until he is 10.

Zach is excited that he can watch his favorite show whenever he wants. David also got him a new cooler headlamp for his camping trips. Of course there was a Phineas and Ferb marathon and three kids had a mini slumber party in the living room. We are finding a good way to spend our summer vacation every day. This week we celebrate Zachary. What a blessing he has been to our family!!
