Happy 30th Birthday Michael!

 

Michael turned 30 on November 9th. I got his truck bed sprayed for his birthday. I did not get a picture of it, but I did get a picture of his small gift I got him. A huge jar of pickled eggs. He always beggs for them when we are at the grocery store, so I thought that might be a little treat he would not be expecting.

 

I baked him a Lemon Pound Cake with Lemon Icing

Chili Cook Off!

 

Michael and I went to the Chili cook off that was held in the mall parking lot. I had to get a picture of this one, I thought it was so funny! Emily and the kids met up with us that day also

 

Michael dropped chili on his shirt. For once in our lives, he was the one with the stained shirt!

 

I loved the Chili and cheese chimichanga!

 

Emily eating her chili and savoring every drop of Dr. Pepper!

 

Emily giving Adeline a taste of Dr. Pepper

 

Jude was there too!

 

Michael and Emily ended up wearing the same shirts! I had to get a picture of them looking like twins! For all you in Virginia, these are our new church t shirts

 

Adeline was so upset, I had to take a picture. I like to tease Emily that she was because she had a leash on!

Air Show

 

Michael and I took a few of the kids from church to the Air Show last month. We had a really good time. I think everyones favorite part was when the jets came out in the end and did all kind of tricks!

 

I took a picture of myself to prove I was there!

 

 

More Air Show

 

Here is a picture of the group

Chick fil a Grand Opening

 

Brandon, Emily, Adeline, Jude, Michael and I went to the grand opening of the chick fil a that is right down the street from us. If you are one of the first 100 in line you will recieve 52 free combo meals for free. I had been to one grand opening before and we knew they fill up fast, so we loaded everything up at 6am and headed to chick fil a to fight the crowds. When we pulled up, there were only two guys there so far. We signed in and unpacked everything. Once you sign in you can not leave the parking lot til the next morning when the store opens. We kept waiting for the crowd to show up, but the people did not start coming til 5pm. I guess chick fil a is not as popular as they are in Virginia. It was a long day, but we had a good time relaxing and playing some games!

 

Here I am signing in. I spent my 30th birthday in the parking lot of Chick fil a!

 

Michael took this picture of Adeline in her sunglasses. He loves it since it looks like she is a giant about to take over Chick fil a!

Cookies for Breakfast?!

 

Sice we thought they were going to feed us breakfast, none of us took the time to eat in the morning. When we got there, we were informed they do not feed people breakfast. I made oatmeal pecan white chocolate chunk cookies so that is what we had!

 

Of course there were no complaints from Adeline about the cookies!

Getting set up

 

Brandon and Emily getting their tent set up. Notice Adeline is helping too!

 

The guys work hard to get our area together. We only had one parking spot to fit a hug tent, a canopy, a baby swing, a card table and our chairs in, we made it work!

 

The crew minus me and Jude

 

Adeline took her morning nap in our tent. When she woke up she tried to figure out how to get out of the tent. She could not figure the zipper out so she tried to squeeze out of a little hole!
