Mommy's Birthday

I had such a great Birthday this year. Really felt loved!! Joe got me a surprise massage at the "Brick House", which was amazing, so nice to spend some time on myself and relax. The boys helped Joe with a music CD, card and cake! Thanks to Travis & Ginger for watching the boys overnight so Joe and I could go out to dinner "Red Lobster", yummy (at least for me)! Got lots of love from my wonderful sisters and friends. Thanks so much Lisa, Heather for the Birthday wishes, it was like I had my Birthday for weeks (Lisa) Hee hee. The boys and their spiked hair, a new fade in our house.

Brotherly love!

Card.........

"Sara Evans" new CD. Thanks guys.

Gavin putting the candles on my cake.

Time to blow out the candles, at least the cake was too small to put the real amount of candles needed for my actual age!!

Thanks for the help Gavin.

Garrett just woke up from a nap so we had to do the candle lighting and blowing with him too!

Thanks Garrett, mommy loves you. Thanks for a great Birthday everyone.

Sewing

I finally got around to a few sewing projects that I had since Christmas, Yikes. Got some fun Toy Story fabric for Christmas and decided to make a tie fleece blanket for the boys. This was the first one I've ever done so it was a learning process. I might try a bigger one next time. I also had some batman fabric to make up another pillow case for Gavin and got that all done too. I'm still not really into sewing all the time but once in awhile is kind of fun.

Gavin showing off the new blanket, and of course Garrett wanted to be in the picture too.

Gavin and Daddy decided to make up Gavin's hair spiky the other day. Gavin wanted to use the mouse and hair stray that daddy uses in his hair. Silly boys.

Our little mini Joe, he is looking more and more like Joe everyday, if that's possible.

Homemade Pizza

Joe's friend from work, kindly brought us some homemade pizza dough today. So we had fun rolling it and putting toppings on together. Garrett instantly got flour on his face and eye, silly kid. We added chicken, green & red peppers, some mushrooms and onions, a few seasonings and cheese of course, so yummy.

Daddy helping out!

Gavin being crazy as usual. Garrett spreading the sauce on.

Family Day Park & Twigs

My brother Walter and his wife Katie & their three girls came to visit. Walter was only here for a day so we took full advantage of the nice sunny day and headed to the park. All the cousins had so much fun throwing the football and chasing each other. There were even a few kids that we didn't know that got in on the football action. Whomever had the ball got chased until they could throw it to Walt or Travis and then they got chased.
