Before we left the motherland, we had 2 more good events...
we were able to visit Grandpa Bart a couple times! They fed us a great dinner I haven't had in years! I had forgotten about how great ham and pea soup with potatoes is, and topped off with chocolate pudding. I couldn't ask for more! We don't get to see Grandpa Bart very often, so it was really nice for the boys to spend some time there and play with blocks, crawl around and play bears, watch some football, eat some food, have a HUGE pillowfight (I hope the truck has been repaired, dad!) Thanks for the great time!We were also able to celebrate Kent's 31st birthday! HOORAY! Over the weekend, Grandpa and Grandma Madsen took us out for a nice birthday dinner to celebrate a little early! The big day came on Monday. He actually worked an extra long day- he left at 6 am and didn't get back home until 7:30.
After a yummy dinner, we treated him to his gifts. The boys went all out for dad this year...
A set of car cup holders and a carton of Egg Nog!
Grandma and Grandpa Cox, Grandma Ruth, and Mom pooled resources to get something fun...
a new camera lens! I love the look on his face when he saw my wrap job (pictured left)
We have yet to actually get the lens, but we are excited to get it- or whatever he decides to trade it for!
Kent has taken a liking to Boston Cream Pie, so we fancied one up just for him!
Happy Birthday Kent!

Sure sounds like you had a great time. You make traveling with all those boys look easy.
Kent really seems to be enjoying himself in those pics :)
I hadn't read blogs in forever and it was fun to catch up on yours. Seeing the pictures is and hearing the stories makes it come to life. (Just not the same over the phone, right?) My fav pic is the one of the boys and Kent on the sled. How could you ask for a better reason to get up in the morning?! =)
Happy Birthday Kent! And thanks again for the dinner. It was great!
