Thank you Aaron and Jenni for thinking of us! We had a great time hope to do it again next year with you!! Mike wants to go back for a Tri Tip sandwich=) He said they must be good if people wait in that huge line!

Mikes Birthday!

Mike went to work with his Snow Mounds=) then came home and we had the kids parent/teacher conferences!

Luckily they are both doing awesome so that was great to hear!

I thought Mike was going back to work to set up a show that night, so I didnt get his bday meal planned because we were going to do it next week. So we went to El Pollo Loco for dinner.

Then home for presents and cake!

mmmmmm I wonder what he wished for!

Happy 43rd Birthday, Mike!

Happy Birthday to a WONDERFUL, CARING and THOUGHTFUL husband!! Hope you have a GREAT day!

Wind is on its WAY!!!!

We tried to fly Kites on Saturday for a little while....the wind comes in every direction, so it makes it hard. Tyler got his kite up for a while......if his string was longer I think it would of worked better!!
