Today we enjoyed celebrating Amira's 8th birthday, wow! We had a lot of fun! We went bowling, Richard won both games! We came home, the bikes were in the living room, that took a few minutes, Amira was more excited about the small gifts, till she saw her new bike of course. We sent their old ones to their Moms house, & brought home from her place their first two they got for Christmas our first year, We took pictures of them on their first ones, it was great, they had no idea we had these two stashed away. Then we had pizza, cake and of course the small gifts. Then we played games, That was fun, they are getting quite good at more challenging games.
Amira will be baptized on November 3rd @ 10 am, or possibly 11. We will make room for as many are able to come, and we hope to have a full house!
It is amazing how time flies!

Currently @ the Newton Smith house,
The kids started school, they are enjoying 2nd (Amira) & 4th (Richard) Grades, They both like their teachers a lot (always a plus).
Richard turned 9, Amira got her ears peirced, she keeps saying "I will be 8 before Richard turns 10." I just smile and agree, silly kid. She is excited to be baptized, looking to be the first part of dec.

Richard is excited to finally help me scrapbook the pics from his baptism (I am a bit behind, lol)
