Celebrating Dylan's Birthday

Dylan's birthday is TOMORROW, but since we are leaving out of town we are celebrating tonight! We piled in the car,

And drove straight into a storm {remnants of Hurricane Harvey}.

But it was worth it to get here.

We HAD to get the Cotton Candy Bacon of course.

And we were surprised that Payton and Rylan liked everything that we ordered.

We knew Dylan would love the steak {as you can see!}.

And then we had their Banana Bread for dessert.

Happy birthday son!

When we walked out of the restaurant the tornado sirens were going off.  It's funny, because 6 years ago, I would have been camped out in the bathroom waiting until all was clear.  But we just checked online to see where the storm was going (just north of us) and went on our way.

Rylan feel asleep quickly in the car - a good food coma will do that to you.

THIRTEEN tomorrow... and he's the same height as me.

I love you buddy.  Thanks for bringing so much laughter into our family.  You truly are a rad kid.  I am excited to see the young man that God is growing you up to be.

Week #34 {2017}

It's Sunday and keeping Bombi calm has proved disastrous for things in our home. Even brand new unopened bags of cotton balls.

But then he does funny things like this and you just got to love the turd bucket.

Monday was the Solar Eclipse.

Then we hit up B&R Hardware {as my dad called Baskin Robins}.

Bombi wasn't amused that we went and had fun without him.

Then he got to snuggle with Chris and all was right in his world.

Tuesday Bombi was just chilling' in his place.

And then I tackled this crazy overgrown planter.

See?  Much better.

I decided to keep working in the yard and ended up with a truckload to take to the dump.

Wednesday after school we hit up the library before TKD class.

I looked over to see Dylan doing this...

He was pulling himself along by using the shelves.  {Dork!} He IS innovative though!  I just love this kid.

Thanks God for the amazing sunset!

After church I took these guys to the after party {at McDonald's}.

Thursday morning, I found Bombi wrestling the bushes. {He seriously needs some mental help.}

Then after school we took little man to get his hair cut.

Man, that's one good looking' kid {even if I do say so myself!}!

Payton is applying and interviewing for the SWAT team at school.  Its a technology team that helps the younger kids log-on to their accounts, helps the computer teacher install software and virus protection, etc.

I'm hoping she learns A LOT and can come home and teach me a thing or two!

Friday we saw more deer on the way to school.  We see them often, but I usually can't get my camera out quick enough!

Saturday morning is finally here.  We get to rest and not rush out the door.  I got to nuggle buggle Ry Guy while I drank my coffee...  It was wonderful.

Then the other two woke up and wanted to join in!

We are having a small party for the Mayweather vs. McGregor Fight tonight so I made some Jalapeño Poppers.

Everyone brought appetizers to share and we got pizzas.

All the kiddos played and we got to hang around and watch the fights.

I love this guy.

Even though McGregor lost {yes, I was rooting for him!}, it was a super fun {and LATE!} night for all of us.
