happy birthday daddy!

Sunday, the 13th, was Scott's 33rd birthday (yes, i am married to an old man!) so his parents were up on Saturday to take him birthday shopping. Then it was off to Fritz's Railroad burger joint at Crown Center. I do have to say, Ryan and Owen were looking very handsome in their dress shirts, sweaters, and jeans!

Our attempt at a family pictures but Ryan started crying b/c he didn't want his picture taken....so it didn't really turn out.

But this was our family picture one year ago...my how the kids have grown in just one year!

So on to eat dinner. We love Fritz's...for the atmosphere. The kids loved watching the train deliver the food to the tables. Me and my boys!

Me and my boys last year for Scott's birthday....at Fritz's.

Owen was in awe of the train as it circled around all the booths.

Ryan was just being silly. I think he liked the fact that grandma cathy, papa larry, and uncle matt were eating dinner with us.

After dinner, we attempted to go see Santa but the line was really long! So we did a little window shopping and then headed home. Here is Owen and uncle Matt hanging out as daddy and papa went to Topsy's to get some popcorn.

It was then back to the house so grandma and papa could put kids to bed....Scott and I had a date...well, a night out with friends. It started out at Matt's Christmas party. Ohhhh my, his captain morgan rum punch is to die for!!! Erin, Emily, and i really enjoyed it.

Stayed at the party for a little bit then decided to leave and hit a bar.

Scottie and I....yes, it was freezing in there so i had to keep my coat on!

On Sunday, Scottie headed to the Chief's game with a few friends. I guess i know where the boys and i stand on his birthday.....doesn't care to be with us, but rather Retard!! Just kidding scottie....i know you enjoy going to the games. we had a great night out saturday with our friends. it was a well deserved (and needed) night out with adults!


The boys and i made sugar cookies and grandma and papa stayed around to help us out. papa helped keep owen entertained by letting him play in some flour.

Ryan did a great job cutting out the cookies.

The cookies with the "powdered sugar" glaze....just waiting to decorate them!

Opps, this picture got out of order. When we were down at crown center, there was a bakery called "big mammas." Ummmmmm, the pictures says it all....do i really need to say anymore???? Homemade cinnamon rolls. Delicious!!!!!!! It was a great way to start the day on sunday.

The boys also enjoyed playing with some play dough while daddy was away.

But once daddy got home, it was play time...and a little bit of work. Scott was laying down on the floor, checking his black berry. Owen went over to the table, grabbed Scott's personal cell phone, and laid down on the floor in front of him. He soooooo wants to be a big boy and do what the big boys do. If only he could understand that growing up isn't all that fun when you are 33!
