The boys and I went shopping for Michael today, and got him a new Disc Golf disc. I explained to them that it was a big surprise for Daddy so we can't tell him just yet. When we got home, we put a happy birthday note on it and put it into his Disc Golf bag. This was in the morning, so I was hoping by afternoon it would be forgotten... I should definitely know better by now!
Michael came home and was sitting with us, and Ezra says "Daddy, we got you a surprise for your birthday, but we can't tell you what it is!" and Joel comes right up and says "Its a new frisbee!" Michael started laughing, and Joel then says "But we can't tell you where it is!" and so Michael asks "Well, where is it Joel?" and Joel exclaims very excitedly "In your bag!". *sigh* It was great for a laugh, though, and sweet to see how excited they are about getting their daddy a gift.
Happy almost Birthday Michael!!! :-D
On another note, Isaac was concerned earlier. He asked me "There's a tricky thing I'm thinking about, mom. What if, when you're ready to get married, you like two girls, and they both like you? And then you marry one and the other one is sad or mad at you?" I was ready to break out the Lovin' Spoonfull for him ;-) But I explained that his example is a very good reason why he needs to pray about his wife and make sure that when the time comes that he's sure that he's marrying the woman that God has prepared for him. That eased his worry some. He's been planning and preparing for a wife since he was little! He also said that he wishes he was turning 17 this year instead of 7. Oh, my sweet Isaac... stay young while you can!

I wanted to share my story of a birthday surprise unleashed...This was not a Quinn story but a Josh one! Him and his stepmom had schemed and planned for my 30th birthday (two years ago in Nov...Arg!!). Josh had gotten the list of people from our Sunday school class and they had all been contacted along with my family. So the day comes and it was Sunday after church during the time before our old church split and Christ Church was formed. That day had been our last day at the old church and it was emotional and I was sad to not know what would come next or how long it would be before I saw our friends again. So we were due to have lunch at his parents' house and drive straight from the church to their house. Well, Josh bio-mom's car is out front and I was thinking that was strange. So we go in and his stepmom is cooking and entertaining our church friends who were there for my surprise party that Josh was suppose to bring me to later after everyone got there but he forgot!!! HA!!
