Happy Birthday

today is john's birthday so this blog is about him. first, i got this questionaire idea from my aunt anny who did this for my uncle on fathers day and i did it for john today. i asked mikenna and treston (since he is living with me right now) questions about john to see how much they know him. and since there is only two of them, i answered the questions as well so there were more answers. i put my answers under andon's name so that he could be involved as well. and then we asked daddy the questions to compare. second, i posted a lot of pictures in tribute to john and our family. 
oh first this is john's birthday cake. mikenna made the card and we took a picture of it with the cinnamon rolls. 
after lunch we went shopping for john to pick out some clothes for his birthday and here he is with the kids walking into the store.
