Dylan & Dallas's 10th Birthday - Family Party

We had Dylan and Dallas's family Birthday party on Sunday. We gave them their PowerWings and we had given them their new baseball helmets last week so that they could wear them before their baseball season ended.

They chose to have dutch oven peach cobbler for their dessert instead of cake.

Dallas

Dylan's helmet had a skull and bat cross-bones with his name in flames.

Dallas's helmet said FEAR THIS with blue lightning and his name on the back.

Dallas and his craziness

Jen's 30th Birthday

So I celebrated my 30th birthday WEEKEND - it was a 3 day event.

I showed up to work on Friday and my office was decorated with balloons, candy and all sorts of fun stuff.

Then we had our group gathering and I chose Raspberry Bread Pudding from Kneaders...yum yum. (I choose it every year).

Friday night, Shane and I went to dinner with some friends that live in our cul-de-sac -- Tara & Mike and Cara & Mark. Cara and I have the same birthday, so we went to dinner at Market Street/Oyster Bar. I ate way too much, but of course after we decided to leave, we all decided we needed dessert and headed to Goodwood to get Brownie Sundaes.

Then Saturday night, Shane made reservations for all 5 of us (Me, Shane, Dylan, Dallas, & Tyler) to go to the Chef's Table. I love that place!! The boys thought it was pretty cool since they have never been to a nice restaurant.

We got home and Shane told the boys to help him with something in the garage and told me to go inside. Well this is what I was met with when I opened the door.....

SURPRISE!!!!

Yes that is Wendy who is attacking me with the silly string

I thought I was safe...oh wait...NOPE!!

I am not sure how many cans of silly string got shot at me, but I was covered!!

Shane, with the help of Wendy and friends, had pulled off a surprise party for me. It was lots of fun!! I had asked for Chocolate cake from Magelbys....oh yum...There was a huge cake and I think it will last a year.

Hun, thanks for such a great birthday!!

Thanks Wendy for helping Shane!!

Ohh and I almost forgot all the great birthday presents from Shane....umm let's see...I got everything I asked for...Ugg boots, new clothes, Nautica quilt, dishes, rug....EVERYTHING!!

Dylan & Dallas Turn 9

This year for Dylan and Dallas's birthday party, we let them choose one friend to take to Bookdocks for the Unlimited Pass. Dallas chose to take Austin, and Dylan chose to take Camden. They ran around from Laser Tag to Go-Karts to Bumper Boats to collecting as many tickets as possible. They had a blast!!

Then we went home for pizza, presents, cake, and icecream. Dylan and Dallas have been talking about getting one of thise Rip Sticks/Wave things. For those who don't know what those are..you are lucky!! :) So that is what Shane and I got for them this year. They have been on them non-stop. They have gotten to be pretty good. I will have to post pictures of them riding them. Shane has actually gotten pretty good too.

They also got a couple footballs, a new bat, and some bat bags. They are loving baseball right now, so now they are thinking they are pretty cool with their own bat bags.

Tyler's 6th Birthday

Tyler is already 6 years old!! He is sooo old. This was the year of the transformers. He is close to having the whole collection between him and his brothers. He also got a new hamster. For those of you who know the story of the last hamster..it ended very tragically. (Tyler decided to send Spike for a ride in the air in his ball) So we are crossing our fingers that he will live a long and prosperous life. Tyler named his new hamster Barber after Marion Barber who plays for the Dallas Cowboys - his favorite player.
