Happy Birthday to US!

Today was my baby's birthday along with mine. He was my birthday present 7 years ago and it has been one of my best gifts ever!

I will have more stuff up for Joshy's birthday, but I just wanted to say a little bit about my day today. I feel so lucky that I have such a great family and friends. I just love getting together with EVERYONE no matter where it is. It is so much fun and everyone gets along so well. I am so thankful that Bob & Katie can come and hang out with my family and feel just as a part of it. (or atleast they dont seem otherwise)

My brother called tonight from Japan and him and his wife made us super cute birthday cards. They even stayed up until 1:00 (maybe later?) just to wish us a happy birthday. (okay, maybe that wasn't the only reason, but hey, I can think whatever I want - right?)

My Mom took me shopping on Saturday and it was the funnest time EVER! I am so glad we were able to do that. We truly had not done that before and I hope we can do it more often!

My husband went out of his way to make sure my day was a great one and I just love him so much.

I really feel lucky to have so many special people in my life and getting to see them today made my day that much better!

I was bummin' last year for my 30th birthday. This birthday was much better!

I would show pics, but, unfortunately, I forgot my camera tonight - UGH!

A few from Monster Jam...

Since I am too nervous to post pics of the kids Jacobb invited to Monster Jam, here are a few of my kids ! :) Though I am realizing, since Jacobb was with his friends I cant really post any pics of him. Anywho, here are few pics anyway....

Jacobb's Birthday!

Wow. I just realized I forgot to post pictures of Jacobb's 10th Birthday. So this post is a little out order. This year, we had friends and family over for his actual birthdate and then a couple of weeks later we took Jacobb and a few of his friends to Monster Jam. Jacobb had a great birthday.

In case you were wondering...these pictures were done the morning of his birthday. The birthday boy didn't strip down to his birthday suit to open gifts for all his guests.... :)

It's a new decade for Jared!

Jared turned 30 a couple of weeks ago and we had some friends and family over. It was so much fun . We loved to see our friends we haven't seen in awhile. Thanks for coming!

you can come to my party ~ if you pokemon

Josh and Jake are way into Pokemon these days. Joshy is thinking of who to invite to his birthday party coming up and this is how he determines ifyou are invited:

"oh, little Johnny, I want to invite him! He has this really super powerful Pokemon card. He is pretty cool".

then poor Sammy:

"I am not inviting Sammy. He doesnt even like Pokemon! He likes Yu-Gi-Oh."

Josh is deciding who to invite by your rank and liking of Pokemon cards.......
