Birthday Weekend!!

Saturday afternoon we BBQed and had some friends over for the guys' Birthday (Which is Monday the 21st), we ate Jello shots, went and played a little Volleyball and played some catch phrase,(except for dad cuz he passed out on the couch!)



On Sunday the 20th we went out for dinner to the Cheesecake Factory (DELICIOUS) for dad's and Eric's Birthday, and also for Fathers day :) We had a great time and they suprised the guys and sang them Happy Birthday! Mom and Dad got Eric a mini fridge that he stocked full of beer and mountain dew as soon as we brought it home! He also got a mini grill to take camping or tailgating, can't wait to use that one! :)



We went to bed way too late on Sunday night, it was 1230am by the time Eric fell asleep, so after he fell asleep I ran downstairs to finish wrapping presents for him and make sure the camera was ready, I finally got into bed about 0200 after I walked to the mailbox to check if his last present had came in yet... of course it didn't! Eric had the alarm set for 0500 to get up for work, so that meant I had to wake up at 0425 so I could make him french toast with a candle and wake him up singing him happy birthday! I felt like I didn't get ANY sleep at all, but it was well worth it :)

Before I woke him up!

The lights were REALLY bright he said!


I'm glad you enjoyed your birthday Honey!!!
XOXOX I love you!

Horseback Riding

I'll get better at posting things sooner after I've done it for a while I'm sure!! :) We've just been busy playing softball and staying up late with the family watching movies, and playing video games lately!

Memorial Day Weekend we went horseback riding with my sister and her boyfriend! We did the two hour ride at about 4:00pm, and the weather was perfect! Not too hot at all, I think the trees above us helped out with that too though :) We saw all sorts of sites where movies were filmed, like Jurassic Park, 50 First Dates, Pearl Harbor, Mighty Joe Young, and lots more!! It was beautiful out there too!


The four of us had lots of fun, the ride was a very slow ride though and we look forward to going riding when we get to Idaho in few weeks!!!

**Memorial Day Weekend**

**Since Dad got home on Wednesday from deployment we've all been busy!

The boys had a lot of Madden and COD games to catch up on and have been doing that pretty much every night since he got home. Lets just say Dad needs to pick up his game! Eric can't win them all :)
**Thursday we had fun at Family Day followed by a family trip to the new GameStop on base where the guys had to buy some new games!
**Friday we had a softball game followed by a movie night with the family!
**Saturday we had TWO birthday parties to attened! Both were a blast and Kelsey sure did have alot of fun at her party! Cutest Princess ever!
**Sunday Dad was in charge of cooking dinner for everyone (which ended up being DELICIOUS) Mom Kelsey, and myself went to the movies and watched The Last Song while the boys and Aubrey worked on dinner (Crockpot style) and played some more Xbox. After the movie we all went to the Volleyball court and played a little two on two! It was fun, but next time Mom and Dad the Smacks are not talking it easy on you! :)
**Monday the family all went to the 50th State Fair and we had a great time going on all the rides and trying to win prizes! Eric won me a giant monkey which is hanging out in our living room! We ended the night with a giant salad and a little relaxing on the couch!
