Owen's Birthday is not till July 25, but he wanted to have his pals from school come to the party this year as he has never had a school party because his birthday is in summer. So, before school was out we picked a date and sent invitations. He is at summer camp in the mountains this week and every other weekend is booked so we had to do the birthday early--
so, Happy Early 10th Birthday Owen!!
I love the way Mia is looking at him in this picture!
The massive jumper that burnt our grass because the company didn't pick it up till the next afternoon after the party-- kids loved it-- the grass didn't!
We are hosting Chinese students through our church like we have for many years in the past. This year we have 2 boys and they are just great!! They are both from Chengdu Seszchun (sp?). They are with us for 13 days.
We had an adoption picnic on Saturday so we took the boys-- it was fun!
There was a watermelon eating contest-- Mia loves watermelon!
Picture of all Nightlight Adopted Children from So Cal!
Ethan loved the watermelon too!
Pretty girl

Owen showing how his belly talks-- such a dork!!!We are having fun with the Chinese boys here and Mia is in heaven because they are so nice to her. She asks all the time if she can play with HER Chinese boys!! Too cute!
