A New Look

So I tried out my new software that I got for my birthday (photoshop elements) and gave my blog a new look. I think it turned out okay. I still don't know a whole lot about it but I am so looking forward to learning how to use it. So if anybody has any tips please share! :0)
I celebrated my 38th birthday today. I don't quite feel "old" yet - even though my dear husband reminds me quite often that I am older than he. We quietly celebrated at home with a good ole pizza and homemade hot fudge sundaes! I received lots of email, text messages and wall postings on facebook. Over all I had a really great day!
I will share with the card my dear sweet husband gave to me...

He has such a sence of humor....

Sleep Over

Thomas decided that he wanted a sleep over for his birthday party this year. So I allowed him to pick 3 of his friends to come sleep over. So in total we had six little boys in our house last night. The boys had a great time. Aside from the urge to run in the house there were no problems. Everyone shared and played together great. We took the boys out to eat pizza and the "Big" boys got to sit at one booth, Frank, Tyler, Tanner and I sat at a booth right beside them. Everyone behaved so nicely. We came home and played DS for few minutes and then we watched Madagascar II. After that, the boys were starting to yawn a little so I pulled out all the sleeping bags and pillows. I put in Star Wars and by 11:30 they were asleep. 

The boys woke before the sun this morning. 5:45 is when I heard them. No telling how long they had been up there playing. Needless to say, I bet I know some little boys that will take nap this afternoon! Here are a few pictures of the fun! 

Thomas is 8

Today my first baby, Thomas turns 8 years old. This little boy is an absolute blessing. I can't  believe that I will not have 3 car seats in my truck anymore! He gets to ditch the booster seat! He couldn't wait to get rid of that thing. I did tell him that he could still use it if he wanted too - but his answer was "No way Mom"! Frank and I decided to let him have his birthday gift from us a little early. We gave it to him yesterday. It was such a beautiful day, we could not resist. After all there is not much time to enjoy a new bike after school, homework, ball practice, and a birthday dinner! He loved it! It is a pretty fancy bike too (Tony Hawk)! He had to get use to the "hand" brakes. He enjoyed riding around all day! Of course there had to be a little "Star Wars" action going on too! I will post more birthday pictures later...

Yeah - He likes it! ALOT! LOL

And of couse a little Star Wars action! 

It's My Birthday..

Today I celebrate my 37th birthday! I had breakfast brought to me at work, lunch with some friends and a "surprise" staff meeting that resulted in eating LOTS of Birthday cake. Frank and the boys gave birthday cards too. We will most likely go out to eat for dinner tonight! I have received over 50 emails and posts on my FB wall too!
Thanks to all for all the birthday wishes!

Next week... Thomas will be 8 years old. Time to get the party details worked out! I will be posting about the "sleep over" later....

Tyler's Birthday

My Tyler turned 6 years old yesterday! I can't believe that he is growing so fast. Grammy and Grandpa were in town to help celebrate! Nana, Pop-Pop (my folks), & Grammy and Grandpa (Frank's folks) joined us last night for Tyler's birthday dinner. He chose to go to Longhorn's for dinner. We had to wait for about 30 minutes for a table (not too bad). We enjoyed our dinner and then the wait staff came by to sing to Tyler. He got an ice cream brownie to eat. He even shared with his brothers. Then we came back to the house for cake and presents. We are having the "official" birthday party this afternoon.

I will be posting more pictures tonight!

Frank entertaining while we wait.

Tyler and his ice cream brownie.

Present time! BTW he got the elbow and knee pads too!

The Gravedigger birthday card! He thought this was AWESOME.
