a birthday trip

Daddyc's aunt susan, OUR aunt Susu, came in town for HER 50th birthday, now that is just out of order, we should have been traveling to see her....but.... we have quite the crew and it seemed easier for susu to come here to be with us.  We wouldn't ever MISS her birthday celebration, esp. a big one like this....

My biggest baby worked so hard and creating the "perfect" gift for his aunt susu.... 

Hit brothers and any friends who chose to mess with the little pink box.... It wasn't much but i can assure you it was filled to the brim with thoughts and love..... we love our aunt susu!!!!

 i am NOT the family photographer, but my sister in law IS... what happened? why is the only birthday picture i got of susu FUZZY?  hopefully she caught a better one.... we only celebrated for 2 straight days and ate lunches and dinners, both fancy withOUT kids and poolside with kids...... I think i enjoyed our fancy meal all dressed up if we are voting and by the looks of the picture below, you can probably figure out why....

Dear Peggy Post,

while i used to say "i can explain"

I really can't explain anymore.... 

where have i gone wrong?

 and to be fair... We have TWO other recent birthdays in our happy home... One dog turned 11 years old and the black one turned 8 years old.... While they didn't have a big throw down, they did receive a treat and new collar.... Can you see the excitement?

 we really have NO love for our dogs, can you tell?  and this was just telling them bye as we left for the pool....

 And just to be random... I had this princess today.... pure joy.

 And reason #1 why i have not seen my better half in a couple nights.....  We he felt the need to PURCHASE dvds of the old Auburn Games, i believe "we" HE and a sprinkle of still awake little boys are cued in RIGHT NOW.....   It is a little fuzzy, who wins? oregon or the AU tigers.....

NO, it is NOT a joke, we own this.... i have nothing more to say.  We BOUGHT the Auburn season dvds.... (in his defense, kinda.... he may not have been able to "clearly" see the field for the amount of adult beverages he consumed while out there cheering us on..... Me, oh i was in the snow or on the trek HOME with babies in tow from snow skiing, we HE is just glad we didn't lose power while he celebrated the win! wink wink)

thats all i got.
