4th of July and my birthday!

This year has been such a WONDERFUL birthday! Saturday July 3rd was my birthday. Ryan and the kids woke me up with breakfast in bed by singing me Happy Birthday!! It was so cute and yummy! Ryan got me a supper cute card too. We got to go to a parade with some friends and then went to Sams and bought our closet floor, which Ryan put in that night! He also made me a cake! It was so yummy! Sunday was a great day at church and that night some friends came over and we had a yummy dinner (ribs, mashed potatoes, and corn on the cob!) and 4th of July sugar cookies and cupcakes! Ryan had Monday off, so he spent the day doing whatever I thought of. Which was mostly projects around the house! He painted the girls room, we went and got the rest of the supplies for the closet and he installed the closet for me! Poor guy worked nonstop on his vacation day just for me. Isn't he GREAT! I love that man!

Here are some of the pictures from the 4th of July parade.

I felt so loved on my birthday! I can't believe how many phone calls, cards, and FB well wishes came in. Thanks for making my day so special!

I was also surprised by all my husband did for me. Ryan planned an AWESOME birthday weekend for me! On the 16th-17th we (just Ryan and I!!!!) will be going to Milwaukee!! By our selves! No children! (Evan doesn't count, as he's still in utero) AND as if all that wasn't a HUGE enough present he got us tickets to see WICKED!!!! Seriously! I wouldn't have even thought to ask for that. He's so sweet and wonderful. Ryan told me about my present (we had to plan which weekend to go) before my birthday, so I wasn't expecting anything for the day of. But he went way out of his way to make it the PERFECT weekend for me. I'm so lucky! I love you babe!
