Rick is 31!!

Well, we are getting older and have responsabilities. That being said, Rick had to work on his Birthday. I still wanted it to be a nice day for him so i made him a nice pork roast dinner and a reeses peanut butter cupcake cake. They were originally just going to be cupcakes but i didnt have cupcake holders so they all stuck to the pan and well i was sad and annoyed. anyway, he enjoyed it nontheless.

I decorated the table and put up sticky notes that said cute little things like, "i love you", and "best husband ever" and cheesy stuff like that.

The "Cake". It was chocolate cupcakes that had pieces of peanut butter cups cooked in them, with a homemade frosting that i put peanut butter in. oh my gosh it was sooo good!! On the right is were Gauge wrote. :)

His presents! He loves IBC Cream Soda but its so expensive so i only get it for him when its a speacial occasion. This is after we ate dinner so thats why some are missing. He also loves candy so i got him some of his favorites. He loved that.

Happy Birthday Babycakes! I love You!!

The 4th!!

So for the 4th of July instead of going to watch fireworks we put on a show ourselves. We spread it over two days! Thank You Idaho!!! It was fun after i got over my worried mom phase. Ha ha

See, worried mom phase. i made him sit in the high chair for the first little bit. He was a little nervous from the noise right at first.

I finally gave in and let him stand in the back of Grandpa's truck. He loved that! This one scared him a little. Bahahahaha!!! :)

He was cracking up right after.

I usually dont like pictures of fireworks but this one is kinda cool.

The loot! This is already almost to the end of the first night. We had TONS of stuff thanks to Cassie and Trevor!

This picture cracks me up cause Cassie is jumping out of the way cause i went out way more then anyone thought it would. haha

So i had to put this one up! Cheese ball!!

I love him! :)

and him too!!!


He thought he was sooo funny for jumping into our picture!!!

Trying to take a family picture but Gauge kept jumping on me. Rick was like, " Ok, are we done yet?!"

Day #2! This was the actual 4th. Gauge loves to wear hats now!


So happy with life!

I love this one!!

Playing in the Gutters waiting for the sun to go down. It doesnt go down till like 10pm right now!

He was exhausted by the end of the night.
