In the afternoon the 4 oldest and I went to Sister Beck&#8217;s house and made leather belts.  I made one for Scott to add to his birthday pile, but, I would soon learn, he&#8217;d have to loose A LOT of weight for it to actually fit him!  Opps!!  Too bad I put his initials on it.  Someone might have been getting a belt for Christmas&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>After belt making and some shopping we came home and cleaned and I made his birthday cake.  He wanted pizza and carrot cake.  He also invited the missionaries over.  So that was fun.  He came home early enough that we did presents first and then had dinner and cake and special thought from the missionaries and then kids off to bed.  I think it was fun and successful.  I guess you&#8217;d have to ask him!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.unboundpotential.com\/sami\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/IMG_0080.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.unboundpotential.com\/sami\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/IMG_0080-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"IMG_0080\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-5276\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.unboundpotential.com\/sami\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/IMG_0080-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.unboundpotential.com\/sami\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/IMG_0080-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_5269\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.unboundpotential.com\/sami\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/IMG_0005.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5269\" src=\"http:\/\/www.unboundpotential.com\/sami\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/IMG_0005-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"IMG_0005\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-5269\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.unboundpotential.com\/sami\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/IMG_0005-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.unboundpotential.com\/sami\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/IMG_0005-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-5269\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Both Milo and Alix had this fabulous idea to wrap Scott&#8217;s presents in duck tape.

I figured if he liked at least one, it was still cheaper than buying one at regular price.  He liked 5 of them and wore the 6th one to humor me!  :o)<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_5274\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.unboundpotential.com\/sami\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/IMG_0012.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5274\" src=\"http:\/\/www.unboundpotential.com\/sami\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/IMG_0012-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"IMG_0012\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-5274\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.unboundpotential.com\/sami\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/IMG_0012-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.unboundpotential.com\/sami\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/IMG_0012-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-5274\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">&#8220;Happy Birthday to you&#8230;.&#8221;<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_5275\" style=\"width: 235px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.unboundpotential.com\/sami\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/IMG_0013.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5275\" src=\"http:\/\/www.unboundpotential.com\/sami\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/IMG_0013-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"IMG_0013\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-5275\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.unboundpotential.com\/sami\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/IMG_0013-225x300.jpg 225w, http:\/\/www.unboundpotential.com\/sami\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/IMG_0013-768x1024.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-5275\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">I should have put 36 candles on that cake&#8230;<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Scott&#8217;s birthday landed on a Monday.
