This last Sunday we celebrated Austin's birthday with the Smith family. Everybody was there including new baby Alanna. Emily even managed to make the dessert. It's one of Austin's favorites that she makes. It has PB cookie dough on the bottom with melted marshmallows on top drizzled in chocolate and m&ms. It is delicious! Austin mostly wanted money for his birthday but he did get a few things besides!
Today Austin turned 12. I can't believe how old he is! He got to celebrate with a friend on a trip to Lost Island on 8/14. His friend Zach came and spent the night on Friday night and Saturday morning we woke up and headed to Waterloo. On Friday night the boys spent most of their time fishing at a nearby pond until it got dark around 9pm. Then we started up a fire in our fire pit. We didn't have any chocolate bars so Austin was inventive and used Nutella instead and they made S'mores. It was actually pretty good.
Today he had to go to school but for supper we grilled steaks and hamburgers and hot dogs. Austin picked out a cake mix and frosting and I made a scrumptious cake. It was something like a dark chocolate cake mix and the frosting was chocolate with mini chocolate chips in it...whoa! He also picked out his ice cream which is now a family favorite. It has peanut butter covered cone with chocolate chunks or something...it's is to die for!
We had a really good time tonight. Grandma and Grandpa Uglum came to celebrate with us. He received some great gifts from us and them and Kezzie even got him a little something she was pretty proud of! We are so thank-ful for Austin and what he is to our family. An awesome big brother and an amazing son! We love you Austin and wish you a Happy Birthday with many more to come!
