Happy Birthday Daddy!

Happy Birthday to the best daddy in the world!

Matt and Connor went to the Twins game for Matt’s birthday with Connor’s friend Noah and his dad Matt.  They had a great time.  The other boys decided to dress up in Twins gear to help celebrate the game.  Check out Nolan’s face in these pictures – it gives a good picture of the “spunkiness” I talk about often. 

Since we knew Matt and Connor were going to be gone tonight, we went out to celebrate last night.  Matt chose Famous Daves.

The boys doing some yoga before we left for dinner.

 

Connor was able to sneak away and tell the waiter it was Matt’s birthday.  They came and sang to him.  I don’t think Matt got very many bites of his birthday dessert.  As you can see, the boys enjoyed it.  ;)

Here again - can you find Nolan?  This post is supposed to be about Matt, but as I was looking through the pictures I couldn’t help but laugh at  Nolan in them.  See what I’m talking about. ;)  Gotta love him. 

 

 

Lucas slept through all of dinner.

Happy Birthday Matt!  May you always have lots to celebrate (of course you will with a family like us!)!  We love youvery much!

Happy Birthday Daddy (pictures from yesterday)

As you read in the previous post it was Matt's birthday yesterday. We had everyone over for a birthday breakfast for Matt, we dyed Easter eggs, and had an Easter egg hunt. The birthday boy also decided he wanted to put together the trampoline for the boys, and the birthday boy gets to do what he wants to do on his day. ;) I thought he was crazy, but wasn't going to argue. Natey helped with the beginnings of it, and then Matt spent most of the afternoon finishing it. The boys waited patiently....Jacob kept going up to him and saying, "Daddy, I'm just so excited!".

I offered to cook him a birthday dinner, but he opted for going to Plaza Morena (he says it's because he didn't want me to have to work, but I'm thinking he just would much rather have food from there than something I made. I don't blame him).

The boys had to try the hats on also.

Happy Birthday Matt.....here's to celebrating many many more.

Happy Birthday daddy!

We miss you and bummed that we’re not with you to celebrate. We love you and hope you have a super day.

Connor says Happy Birthday daddy. I love you. You are the best daddy ever. Thanks for playing catch off the rebounder with me. I’m so glad you got that for us.

Jacob says Happy Birthday daddy. I love you and hope you have a good day. Thank you for playing memory with me.

Nolan says Happy Birthday. I love you. Thank you for playing choos choos with me.

Lucas says I love to snuggle right into your big inviting arms and chest. I also love to give you big smiles when you talk me.

We celebrated Matt's birthday last night since he won't be with us to celebrate it tomorrow. We went out for supper, had ice cream cake at home, and then he opened his presents. It's fun when the boys can pick some of the presents out themselves. They all made him a card and are really into this lately.


I finished painting and hanging up stuff in our bathroom tonight. It actually looks "homey and relaxing" now.


Jacob, Nolan, and I played outside a ton today (baseball, sticky paddle, soccer, sand box), and then some more when we got home with Connor. They were all pretty tired tonight. Jacob asked me for some "wet' water today so that he could pour it into the sandbox. Opposed to the dry water that I normally give him?! ;)

The boys and I went into my school this afternoon to chat a little with my sub. I'll have to go in this weekend to get a few things ready. I'm in denial at the moment though and hoping that maybe it's all a dream and I get to stay home longer! I'll be pinched soon I'm sure. I am excited to see my coworkers and students though.




What can you make out of 3 boxes that mattress pads came in? I'm not sure, but I'll let you know when it's finished.



Connor said to me, "Seriously mom, I really know what I'm doing. I have a plan. You'll see."


Where's Nolan?


BOO!

I normally feed Lucas and he falls asleep before I put him down to bed. However tonight it was just me so I decided to put him in his crib while he was still awake so that I could snuggle with the boys a little (I haven't been able to do this a ton because I'm normally feeding Lucas). I was halfway expecting to have to go get him and hold him some more. I went in to check on him after putting the older boys to bed and he was sound asleep. This would be a great habit to get him into.

Seriously? Another picture mom? I already smiled for you. Enough please.

Happy Birthday daddy!

Happy Birthday daddy! We love you.
The boys gave daddy another remote and steering wheel so that he can play Mario Cart with them.

Daddy's favorite present was Connor giving in and wearing a Packer shirt for a little while. He changed before he went to bed though. Pretty funny.

Happy Birthday daddy and Thankful Thursday and *Updated Kindergarten Roundup*

Happy birthday to the best daddy in the universe (as Connor would say) and to the love of my life! You left too early this morning for the cities for us to celebrate yet, but tonight when you get home it's all about you! We love you!

I am thankful for good friends (and good conversation, food, and wine).

Like always, thankful for my incredible family.

I am thankful for the gorgeous weather lately.

I am thankful for the smiles, snuggles, hugs, and kisses in the mornings from the boys.

I am thankful that today was pajama day at Connor's school because it saved us a couple minutes of craziness! ;)

I am thankful for modern medicine now days.

I am thankful for Connor getting ready for Kindergarten....he has Kindergarten round up tonight. He's very pumped.
Connor and Hillary. Little do these two know that her mom and I secretly want them to get married and already talk about it! (jokingly of course, but they are too cute, and two peas in a pod. Seriously). Isn't she adorable?

Most importantly I am so very thankful for Matt. He is an incredible father and wonderful husband. Thanks for all that you do for us Matt.

Happy Birthday Daddy!

Matt finally caught up to his old woman and turned 30 yesterday! (April 23rd) Connor was determined to buy him a football (even though we have a few already - I convinced him to buy the cheaper one) so that they could play catch together. They were outside throwing it around already last night.
