My birthday and other fun things...

I'm officially 29 now. I had a really fun birthday this year. Usually by the time we get to my birthday it's like we are worn out of celebrating. We have Wes's birthday the end of July, then our Anniversary on the 15th of Aug, Nathan's birthday on the 22nd and we finish the month with my birthday on the 30th. I've learned that as I get older, the more birthday's aren't as exciting as they were when I was little. That's okay though, because we had so much fun celebrating Nathan's birthday this year and I'm sure it will be that way for years to come.
Anyway, this year was pretty awesome though. First, Wes decorated all of downstairs. He cut out a bunch of letter A's and put them all over and then hung up our happy birthday signs. I decided not to do any cleaning or unnecessary things like laundry and such and instead just played with the kids all day. It was a beautiful day so we went and found a new park that we hadn't been to and played for a while. Then for lunch we went to Iceberg. They give you a free shake on your birthday! Awesome! And Nathan had to get some fries too. Then that night I got to open my presents. I got some clothes, a necklace, and a new crock pot! yea! It was a fun day all around!
Here are some cute pictures of Blake lately. I feel like I don't take nearly as many pictures of Blake as I did Nathan so I'm trying to be better. He is almost 8 months old and just getting so big. He is so close to crawling. I give him maybe another week to figure it out. We just got him a new car seat so he is now out of the baby carrier. He's not a baby anymore!
He's finally getting some hair! Here he is with a cute little hair do after bath time.
And finally, we are in transition of trying to get the boys to share a room. Here is Wes and Nathan taking apart the crib so we could move it over to Nathan's room. So far it's going okay, but not great. We're working on it. I just thought this was cute with Nathan trying to be just like his dad and help out.

You know you are old when you are given kitchen appliances for your b-day:) Happy Birthday.

Happy birthday! You are right, the older you get, your bday just isn't the same. It's hard to feel very special when you are just changing diapers and cleaning and doing all the normal stuff. I like your idea of doing nothing unneccessary. I will try that next year when I turn ... gulp ... 30.
