When Brandon asked me what I wanted for my birthday I told him a day off and a carrot cake or spice cake. Either one as long as it had cream cheese frosting! He told me that he didn't think he would be able to stay home but he would try. He wasn't sure about the cake either since he had never made one. To be honest I was a bit frustrated. Lets just say every time I try and call him at work his assistant tells me he is out and transfers me to his cell. That is why Brandon loves his job, because of the freedom. So I didn't understand why he wouldn't make my birthday wish come true ;) The plan was he was going to come home from work, pick me and the kids up, go out to dinner, then have some friends over for cake and ice cream. Which I thought I was going to have to make. Anyways long story shorter, he came home from work and had the kids give me their presents. First Cashton gave me a plastic boat and some rubber fish. I thought that was cute. He could play with them in the pool. Jaelynn gave me a pair of sunglasses that are her size and an underwater camera. Brandon told me that they had picked out their own present so hers didn't surprise me. Carter also got me an underwater camera and some sunscreen. I couldn't stop laughing. How random! Then it was Brandons turn. He brought in this sand pail. I opened up the bottle to read the message. Now my kids gifts make more sense. I am going on a cruise! Now I get 5 days off!! Oh ya and I didn't have to make my own birthday cake either. He got a carrot cake and a spice cake. I have to say he covered all his bases. I love you babe! ThanksSaturday, July 18, 2009
What a Guy!

4th of July
The 4th was a ton of fun. We had some friends come over for BBQ. We laughed and ate until about 8:30 then it was off to Powell Park for the fireworks. We got there just in time to sit behind a huge tree. We thought the fireworks would come from a different direction. No, we were wrong. We all had to get up and move. Luckily they had a road closed off right by us so we just moved into the street.
Carter was obsessed with the motorcycles. He loved them!
Of coarse something always has to go wrong for Jae. Brandon parked so far away that by the time we walked to the park Jaelynn had two huge blisters on her feet. She was cranky the rest of the night.
Cashton didn't mind the noise at all. He did great.
(As long as he had his puffs.)

Jaelynn learned something new over the weekend.
We were watching some tv when Jae came around from the kitchen with her tongue hanging out. She wasn't crying and there hadn't been any loud noise so Brandon and I were very confused. We kept asking her what happened but we couldn't understand her due to the tongue hanging out of her mouth. Then it clicked with me. Our friend had made homemade ice cream and it was in a metal container. I went to the freezer to find this.
It looked to me that she tried it more than once. So my three year old now knows ice cream can be dangerous ;)

I am not sure if you are able to see his teeth from this picture but Cashton sure let us know that they were coming. He finally has two little teeth. He is so over this baby food and wants some real food. 
He just doesn't understand how nervous solids make me. So far so good on the "puffs". In a few weeks when he hits 9 months I will try some meat. Then I am sure the smile will come back!
