bday weeks are the best!
birthdays are definitely the best. it's great to have an excuse to celebrate, eat out and party all week long! my sweet hubby spoils me even for his birthday :) 
ring around the rosy...
we have been playing over here!
the kiddos came to spend the day and we had loads of laughs... kids DO say the funniest things! they even helped me wash the dishes ... well an indoor water fight was way more fun anyway! :)
the baby is growing so fast, little Z sure knows how to get around... especially after marbles and anything that looks cool enough to put right into his mouth, man he is FAST!
and lillie and ty are full of giggles and energy... we watched a movie and garrett played games with them and of course we get to spoil them with candy from halloween :) don't you love ty's orange tongue from the nerds?!
and our beautiful iphone photos? we sure love these super handy little cameras. i found the dog photo on my phone... lillie might just be a photographer when she grows up!
love u kiddos, come play anytime!
