Birthday Party








This past week was my birthday and Paul planned and pulled off a surprise party for me. I can't believe that I didn't find out or that he didn't give it away. When I walked into the party room at Bertonlini's I was so surprised. There was a large group of my friends there with their spouses and we all had dinner together. There was even a special menu with my name on it, Paul really did good. We had dinner, laughed, opened presents and just had a great time. It was a diverse group of people, but it didn't matter everyone seemed to enjoy themselves.

I had been a little bugged with Paul all day because I thought he had forgotten my birthday. He was so busy with work that he hadn't really even talked with me all day long. He did a great job at keeping this one a secret; usually I know what he is up too.

Afterwards we came home and I opened up some new stuff for my kitchen...Yea! I needed new pots and pans soooo bad. It was such a great birthday. My boys had made birthday signs the day before and put them all over the house the night before. There was even one in my car on the windshield.

Water balloon fight at Lego Land

One of the highlights of our trip to California was Lego Land. According to the boys in our family the best part of Lego Land was the Water Balloon Launching Huts. Paul and Jacob were a team and they took on Tyler and Andrew. Each team had two large sling shots and stood inside a wood hut with a bucket full of water balloons. The team that soaked the others first won! They had an absolute blast even though they were wet for the rest of the day.
