So my birthday turned out to be less than exciting.  Brad was working on his car which decided to give him trouble on Friday and my birthday fell on Sunday.  He had to try and fix the problems so it could be operational for Monday and getting to work.  I understood, still just stinks it happened over my birthday weekend.    Brad had made some surprise plans for us to go out, but those got cancelled, I cooked dinner and spent some time cleaning the house as it was just another day.   He felt bad for how my birthday played out, and surprised me a couple days later with tickets to see Justin Timberlake! And these were not just any tickets, they were 7th row tickets! Yep, A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!!!   I took my sister with me (Brad is not really a JT music fan). Brittany treated me to dinner and then we took off to the show.   It was such a great show! Justin Timberlake is a true artist.  He is a dancer, singer, actor and most importantly-...

Brayden requested to have his first sleepover for his birthday.  He has had cousins stay but not friends.  I don't even remember what age I was when I started sleepovers, anyway, I agreed.  He invited his two best friends Evan and Grant. Before his friends arrived for pizza, games, movie and sleep over. His Grammy (whom he shares a birthday with) came over to spend a little time and give him his presents. The birthday kids :)         Happy boy with his very own guitar!  And presents from Mom and Dad...  And sister too!  Nothing like a little game of basketball. :)  Cardinal cookie cake as requested!   Brayden too is a lucky guy this year. He made out with $100 bill from mom and dad, presents from friends and a pretty cool guitar! Happy 9th Birthday Brayden!!!

  We threw together a last minute pool birthday party for Mr. Brock.  He couldn't decide what to do or where to go and kept requesting $100 bill. A deal was made that if we did not have to pay for a big birthday party, that $100 could be given as a present.   Our day started with food and pool time.  We then moved onto presents and ice cream cake.      The birthday boy asked to hold my friend Vanessa's baby girl, Lilly.  Then from mom and dad...  That face just says it all!  With his birthday falling on Sunday this year, we were able to celebrate on Monday with his class.  His request was ice cream cups. :) He was a very lucky boy this year! His friends spoiled him with lots of gifts and he also got that $100 bill he has been waiting for! Now to go shopping!!! Happy 7th Birthday Brock!
