Nick had a birthday... Shout Hooray!

This past week has been Nick's birthday week. I wasn't sure how I was going to pull it off but I decided that I would get him a present everyday for seven days since he has spoiled me these last two birthdays. They ranged from silly little gifts like a diet pepsi to silly awesome ones like the first season of ChiPs. Yesterday was Nick's actual birthday and we celebrated over at the Langstraats house because our apartment doesn't really accommadate more than four people. (Thanks again guys!) We had dinner there, ate the experimental Snickers cake, and then opened presents including his last one from me.

The Cake...It has melted caramel, peanuts and chocolate chips in between two layers of chocolate cake with whipped butter cream frosting and snickers bars on top...it was pretty delicious but I felt like I ate five candy bars in one piece of cake...

I knew that Chad and Erin were getting him the BYU hat so I saved the reversable BYU basketball shorts as his last gift.

Birthday weeks are hard work but I had a lot of fun trying to pick things out for him and I think that he had a lot of fun opening up his silly presents everyday.

Labor Day

For Labor Day Nick and I invited ourselves on a trip to Apple Hill with my parents. Everyone else had the same idea so it turned out to be almost the whole family. We went to our regular stop for chocolate caramel apples, hanging by the pond, apple juice and checking out the crafts. After that we stop by another place that had some farm animals that the nephews and niece really enjoyed at least until Jill got licked by a cow. We had a great lunch and then headed home to relax and have dinner with Megan and Bubba. We had an awesome time and I hope you enjoy some of the pictures of our day.

My Birthday Week

For my actually birthday Nick and I went to the River Cats baseball game with some friends of ours. One of our friends had a bunch to tickets and parking passes that needed to be used by that night so we were lucky that he invited to go along for FREE. We didn't win but I did get a chance to fill myself with ridiculous amounts of liquid cheese. It was a lot of fun.

My friend Michelle's birthday is the day before mine and she had a 80s themed bowling party that weekend. I hadn't been bowling in a long time so it was fun to see how poorly I still played. The food was great, especially the desserts, (rubic cube cupcakes and a cake decorated like a cassette tape) and her one year daughter provided amazing entertainment with her dancing skills.

On Sunday we had dessert with my family and just had a great time celebrating. My mom even made me a gift that had 25 little gifts of 25 things each. (25 dimes, 25 stickers, 25 cotton balls...that type of thing.) I had a great birthday this year!

A conversation had with my nephew this afternoon...

Dax: That's a stoplight...

Me: You are correct.

D: Umm Mur green says go.

M: I know, but I have to wait for the cars in front of me to go too. What does red say?

D: Red says stop.... and... yellow says go faster!

M: Who told you yellow means go faster?

D: Just my mom.

M: Oh...you're mom is so busted.

D: No, Mur, you're busted.
