Seventh Birthday
We celebrated Zane's seventh birthday (2/10) on Sunday. After church, Zane and I went down to Alton Baker Park for the Kids Fun Run at the Eugene Truffle Shuffle walk/run. Kids ages 6 and up competed together. I was so proud of Zane for doing his best and trying something new. (It was actually a little hard for me to take pictures because I was choking back tears.) He really enjoyed himself and said that he didn't let the kids behind him get past him.
Later that day, Cory and I took the kids to the bowling alley. Grandpa Bud, Grandma Boom-Boom, Aunt Joy and Lolly met us there. We had a great time; watching the kids bowl is so much fun! Next we went for pizza and then headed home for cake, ice cream, and presents. Cade was sad that he didn't have any presents so Zane let him open most of them. He said that next year Luke could open them. What a nice brother! What a great kid! Thank you, God, for Zane.
William Wayne Gant
Curtis and Melissa had their boy, William Wayne, on Saturday, February 7th, at 10:34am. He weighed 6lbs. 10oz. and was 20" long. He is named after his great-grandpa, William "Bill" Pile, and his dad, Curtis Wayne.
Although each of our boys love their new cousin very much, I think Cade is the most excited. While we were waiting for the baby to come, Cade asked, "When is Curtis going to get that baby out!?" He also called William his "son" one time. On the way home, Cade sang, "I love Will, Will, Will. I love Will, Will, Will."
They each had a turn holding him and loved every minute of it.

Wildlife Safari
Yesterday was a great family day. We drove down to Roseburg and ate lunch at Applebee's. Then we went to Wildlife Safari in Winston. The boys and I have had the opportunity to go probably four times in the last two years and we never get tired of seeing the amazing animals God made. When we first got there their was a gorgeous peacock with all of his feathers fanned out. Zane informed his brothers that his feathers were fanned out because he "wants to get married." Later, on the way home, we decided to stop at my parents house. When Cade heard he would get to see his grandparents he said, "Great. Why Great? Me want to see Papa!"
