My 29th Birthday

I celebrated my 29th Birthday on March 24th. We had a nice birthday dinner at my parents the Sunday before my birthday. It was nice having dinner at my parents. I love having my favorite meal (steak & Armenian rice) followed by my favorite dessert (pound cake smothered in strawberries). On Monday night mom permed my hair. Tuesday the 24th Ryan sent me beautiful Roses at work. Then my friends at work gave me a card and shopping money for my trip. Thanks guys that was really nice. I enjoyed shopping and finding something for me.

Thanks Honey they were Beautiful!

I just love all the different colors.

Isn't that a pretty color

Ryan turned the BIG 30

Ryan had his birthday March 21st. My friend Angela and her family decided to decorate our front yard with black streamers and "over the hill" signs late friday night. It was kind of funny because she was terrified of getting caught. However, everyone in our house was already asleep. (Sorry no pics.)

The next day we decided to have a little dinner/ birthday party at Angela's house. We had Loaded Baked Potatoes, salad and cheesecake. Angela also baked a Birthday cake for Ryan.

We also invited another friend Krista and her son. The kids enjoyed playing with a new friend. It was very nice letting the kids play outside with their dogs too. After dinner we hung out in the garage while the kids played on the mini pool table. They also had a motorized scooter that belong to their son. We each took it for a little ride. It was kind of cool Ethan loved it but Madalyn scraped her toe on the ground.

We then sang Happy Birthday and enjoyed some cake. Thanks Angela & Brandon it was a lot of fun.

The Family

Cousin Gabe's 5th B-Day

In January we celebrated Gabe's 5th Birthday. This was lots of fun but also a little sad. This was about 2 weeks before Gabe and his family were leaving for another overseas journey for about 2-3 years.

Madalyn's Party

We had a family birthday party for Madalyn on Sat. (July 19th). We decided to go to Lions Park to celebrate. The kids rode every ride once and then we all rode the train.

The Spaceship ride

While all the little kids were having fun at the Kiddie park Uncle Travis, Uncle Clifton, Mason & Bryson when next door to play Putt-Putt Golf. I didn't get any pictures but I know they had a good time. Mason & Bryson wanted to play another game.

The Birthday Cake

Madalyn picked "My Little Pony" for the theme. So I made a cake out of cupcakes. We took Popsicles, water and juice pouches due to the heat from celebrating outside.

This picture was taken before I put the ponies on. Madalyn lifted the cake a little so I could get a good picture. She lifted it just a little too high and the cupcakes started sliding.

I finally got the ponies on and all the writing is gone.
