Brady's Birthday Bash

I wanted to post some pictures of Brady's special 6th birthday!  He had an awesome day & then got to celebrate with 10 of his buddies a couple days later!

Traditional breakfast in bed...chocolate chip pancakes with whipped cream! :)

Our elf, Suzie even snuck in overnight & decorated his room!

Sonny was obviously extremely amped.

I brought his ice cream dixie cup treats to school & got to watch his class celebrate his special day!  Soooo cute.

They all signed this special card

Mrs. Saboda was out that day so they had a guest teacher...things were a little lot chaotic...pretty hilarious!

That night we had a family dinner to celebrate!

Ahhh...speaking of chaos, here is the group at his friend party at the Ridge.  We invited all the boys in his Kindergarten class plus his closest buddies.  They had SO.MUCH.FUN and were pretty entertaining to watch.  Jeff & I kept the group mostly in control & nobody got hurt which was good! :)  Brady loved every minute.

I love Livvy's face here...she was feeling pretty special that she was the only girl there!

Just hammin' it up!

Momma even hopped in...I wonder when I'm going to grow up? :)

Napa Valley & Bobcat Football

In early November we headed to Napa Valley & to catch the Bobcats vs. Sacramento State.  We went with my folks, Dusty & Gina, and EJ & Jenee and we had an absolute blast!!  Grammy & Grampy were sweet enough to come up & stay with the kids & the four of them had so much fun together.  

I am in love with Napa...it just gets better & better each time I visit.

At lunch at Auberge Du Soleil for lunch & a toast!

We took a limo ride to dinner the first night & to say we were having fun is an understatement...cleary.

We watched most of the Nebraska/Michigan State game before the Cat game...things didn't end well for State...wonder if that's why EJ has a tense, claw-like grip on his wife's shoulder?? :)

Jenee & I at the MSU tailgate!

Cats Win!!

OK, I have always wanted to do the "biking through the vineyards" thing & we actually did it!  Although my hubby was a little hesitant...he thought the "luxury car tour" seemed a little better but we all had an amazing time!!  I loved it so much...the weather was perfect & we all just had so much fun.

Heading into Frogs Leap--my new fave!

After the bike tour we did a little more tasting...the guys needed a shirt change...thought this was a little trashy & a lot hilarious!

Gina taking a little snooze on our way home--she looked so beautiful I had to take it!

I love this one of my mom!

Dicey!

My buddy

Liv's New Do!

Well we made a pretty big change to Livvy's look at the end of December!  I have been thinking about doing it for months & talking to Liv & we finally decided to make the change!  She donated 10 inches to Locks of Love & cut even more than that off!  She felt good about what she did & she enjoys her morning brushing a whole lot more now...:)  Besides that she looks super, duper cute...not sure her Daddy has ever seen anything so cute. 

My Husband

"My Husband has made me laugh.  Wiped my tears.  Hugged me tight.  Watched me succeed.  Seen me fail.  Cheered me on.  Kept me going strong.  My husband is a promise from God that I will have a friend forever."
