OK... so I'm running a little behind. I loaded the Morse family pix onto my computer and realized that I'd never gotten around to posting our fabulous birthday week in July. It's an action-packed week that has 4 birthdays and 1 holiday.
For my birthday, we went to see Wall-E. It was adorable. Then we picked up a Wall-E cake. Bradley came home for the day. That made it really, really special. My three oldest all went. It was a great day!
Victoria waited at home...
Next comes the fourth of July. The following day is Hope's birthday:
Hope had a friend from church over to go bowling with her and Bradley and Gracie and...
SURPRISE! RJ!!
Here she is, after she snuck into the house while he was napping on the couch. He had a lot of trouble figuring out how she could be there.
Feeling pretty pleased about pulling off a HUGE surprise.
Next birthday is RJ's and two days later, it's Brad's. They celebrated together since she couldn't stay too long and, well, it's more romantic that way!
This last one is actually the girls getting ready for a slumber party style night, but Brad jumped in to join them for the picture. What a cute crew!
It was a fabulous week and it was made super special when our RJ came to make Brad's 21st the best it could be. And it was!!! Thanks, RJ!

Awwwe!!!!!!! What sweet b-day pictures! RJ almost made me cry
Joseph surprised me on Christmas evening while I was watching Miracle on 34th street. I had on some headphones so I could hear the movie while all my little cousins had fun around me. He snuck up behind the couch and when I knew he was there, I jumped over the back of the couch out of excitement. My uncle had his camera ready, so I have a great picture of me flying over the couch 
. Sigh. Fond memories. I'm so glad for Brad and RJ. I know they enjoyed that time immensly 
lol, you jumped the couch, Michelle? That's hilarious!
I loved Wall-E too! Such a great movie, I'm asking for it for my birthday....
