The big 3-0!

Yesterday was my birthday, but between a sick Sarah and myself not feeling great(most likely because I was up with sick Sarah all night!), I took a birthday rain check. Thankfully, we were all feeling better after a good night's sleep. I can't think of a better birthday present!!! After nap, we decided that a trip to the park was in order. It worked out perfectly because the little store that we get our raw milk from is right across the street from a great park. So, we played for a couple of hours and then got our milk before going out for my birthday dinner. We left the park just as Marvin was leaving work in time to meet at the house and go to Red Robin for dinner. On the way home, we stopped at Dairy Queen for an ice cream cake. A perfect birthday, even if it was a day late!

Sarah wants to go higher!

Abby says that is plenty high!

The boys met a pro basketball player in the body of a 4 year old!
I think his dad must be a basketball coach and the apple doesn't fall far from the tree!

He is teaching the boys to dribble

Michael shows off his skills!

My monkey girls!

Sarah says, "WEEEEEEEEE"

Waiting for birthday cake is hard stuff!
In their defense, the cake was SOLID and took FOREVER to cut!

We had no candles, but lots of left over sparklers! The kids LOVED it!

Happy Birthday!

They are in awe

The big 3-0!

Every time I come to your blog the kids bug me about when you are moving back here for days. Now I have to sneak a peek when they are not around!!! NOT an easy task!!
