Mr. A's 30 Today!!!
Plague and famine in the air
Gloom and doom and dark despair
Happy birthday - ugh!
Happy birthday - ugh!
Long ago your hair turned gray
Now it's falling out, they say
Happy birthday - ugh!
Happy birthday - ugh!
Now you've lived another year
And your death is drawing near
Happy birthday - ugh!
Happy birthday - ugh!
Now you've reached the age you are
Your demise cannot be far
Happy birthday - ugh!
Happy birthday - ugh!
The Black Death just struck your town
You yourself feel quite run-down
Happy birthday - ugh!
Happy birthday - ugh!
See the lines upon your face
Like the pattern of old lace
Happy birthday - ugh!
Happy birthday - ugh!
At your age you ought to learn
First you pillage, then you burn
Happy birthday - ugh!
Happy birthday - ugh!
May the candles on your cake
Burn like cities in your wake
Happy birthday - ugh!
Happy birthday - ugh!

Happy Mother's Day!
It's almost always that Mom has the strongest, quietest and the most caring influence on us. She balances so many roles so beautifully, yet she does it all with a smile. She gives us roots and wings and is always there to listen to our hits and misses. Often we feel thankful, but don't know how to say it. Mother's Day is the perfect time to show her your love. I got the perfect card for my mom this year. It said "Everything I am I owe to my mother. Like I'm not enough debt already!"
It was perfect now that we have been dealing with the stress of buying our first home and all. My mom, sisters and sister-in-laws on my side have decided that from now on us girls are taking the Mother's Day weekend as a Girls Only weekend and making it our annual kid and husband free time to party together. We'll get facials, manicures, pedicures, our hair done, watch girly movies, shop and just enjoy being women! We missed this mother's day weekend so we'll be taking the time away later in June and then Mother's Day weekend from here on out.

Kitchen Remodeled
After
I really like how the kitchen turned out. Now if we can tackle the back yard this summer we'll be well on our way! Wish us luck!

Obi's 5th Birthday
Transformer logo birthday style!
Jack-Jack got to the cake right after Obi blew out the candles and while he was opening presents. He's a little to quick for his own good. At least half the cake wasn't eaten by the time he was caught "RED & BLUE HANDED" literally!
