Seth has a Birthday

As the youngest child Seth experienced many things that he might not have if he had been the oldest child. Is he listening to AC/DC or Def Lepard. I think he is just a couple months old in this picture.
He is taking a nap in Kate's bed. He was and is such a sweetheart child.

In this picture Seth is just a couple days old. He is being held by his Grandma Coffey.
Seth having a little dessert.


Seth playing in my old harvest gold dryer. I hope that his siblings hadn't actually turned the machine on.

Having a little breakfast in bed. He loved breakfast in bed.


Seth with his little nubbin teeth showing.

Seth wearing the traditional Coleman clown costume. All of our kids wore this except for Miles, and he may have worn it too, but I don't have picture proof. The grandsons wear it now. Seth was really as sweet as he looks in this picture.

Seth is helping his Dad plant some flowers.


This was the day that Kate put all the kids in makeup. If you look close you can see eye shadow and lipstick. After the make over why not have a little chili.


Seth is standing on top of the garage roof. There was a leak and the kids were helping Maurie make the roof water tight. Okay, it is so much fun to be up on the roof, especially when Noah and Rachel are doing most of the helping.


Seth is in fifth grade and he is standing with his best pals. Keith, Carlos and Justin. He is at Outdoor Education in Wisconsin.

We celebrated Seth's birthday a little early. Mike, Kate and the boys came in on Saturday night. We had pizza and birthday cake. Seth wanted flan for his birthday cake. It was pretty good. We thought it best to avoid candles in the flan. Seth blew out one of the dining room tapers instead.


Sean doing some serious celebrating.


Jack eating his pizza the hard way.


Liam being silly with Kate.


Seth and Kate dancing in the kitchen.


Ewan is giving us his big smile.


Seth being silly for the camera. Jack gazes on learning from a master.


Jack trying out his own brand of silliness.


Kate and Ewan impressing us with their terpsichordian skills.


Let's all end the night with a flair.
Seth is turning fifteen tomorrow, Monday, Nov. 17th. I am so happy to be his mother and I'm sure that Maurie mirrors those feelings. We love him so much and think that he is the best. Our family would not be complete without him. Happy Birthday Seth.

HAPPY BIRFDAY WITTO BRUDDER!!! I hope your birthday goes well and you don't take yourself too seriously. I'd give you a present, but I'm kind of far away plus I didn't get any flan. Can't wait to see you for Christmas! Love,
Noah

Happy Birthday to Seth! We love you and hope you have a great day tomorrow. It was so fun to have you come and visit in June with your mom. I thought for some reason you were turning 16, but I guess you just act more mature than you really are. Oh yeah, that explains the Olympic sync swimming with your cousins in Cedar City. Love that form. Love Shelley, Zack and Alan

Happy birthday Seth! You are crazy but you fit right in with your crazy family! What an interesting choice of birthday cake. I haven't heard that one before. Well it looked good, did you add a little something extra to it to make you all break into dance in the kitchen. Just wondering...:) Happy birthday!

Seth those are the cutest little pictures of you when you were little. I loved the one of breakfast in bed. What a sweetie. You are still a big sweetie. I wish you were coming out with your Mom but I guess that is not in the cards. I hope you have had a great birthday. I was thinking now there are 4 of you in the family that are 15 years old. You and all the girls. Love Ya
