Happy Birthday to Me!

So today is my birthday, I am 22! (It doesn't really feel that different from 21, to tell you the truth). Yesterday Jaime Martineau (as if there are other Jaimes) took me to dinner and a movie after I had an hour massage (which I get every Monday these days). We had a lot of fun. Jaime was so sweet, she showered me with gifts:

A picture frame with a photo of Gunnar and me camping

A picture frame with an awesome "Friends Forever" design with pix of Erik, John, Jaime & me

A bunch of candy (which Paige my dog took out of my purse last night and ate some of)
Tums--the good flavor-- for my wonderful pregnancy heartburn

Rootbeer for the movies


We had Panera bread bowls of soup and went to see "The Secret Life of Bees" starring Queen Latifah, Jennifer Hudson, Alicia Keyes and Dakota Fanning. It was really fun.

Then I got home expecting to find my husband lounging around playing video games but instead he was eagerly awaiting my arrival and asked me to drive him to the store. I couldn't believe he would ask me, pregnant and uncomfortable to drive HIM to the store! After much protest I took the keys and we headed for my car.

As soon as I started the engine, I knew what my birthday present was! My husband spent the entire evening installing a Flowmaster system on my exhaust! For all you girls out there who don't know what that means, it makes the car sound REALLY good like a big truck. Of course, the mom that I am already I said something like, "Won't this wake the baby up a lot?" but I quickly forgot about him as I drove around our neighborhood listening to the sweet sweet rumble of my handy man's work. I love my husband, he always knows exactly what I want!

Now I just have to deck out the rest of my car with tinted windows and rims. Maybe it will look something like this when it is finished:


Ok that's a little much. But I have to be a cool mom!!! I'm well on my way with my new Flowmasters!!!

Little Reminders

Every day when I look at Tyler I see parts of Sarah. You can't sit there and tell me these pictures of Sarah don't remind you of certain faces Tyler makes! I hope he always reminds me of her.

Brandt Gibson in a Nutshell

The Amazing Kell Bjorn decided to start keeping track of everything Brandt Gibson said. Here are a select few: “I’m a horse of a different color!” “No Pain…No Pain.” “Nobody corrals me!” “Die!” “But on the other hand, you have different fingers.” “I’m not stressed, I’m not stressed; if you tell me I’m stressed…I’ll kill you.” “I parked around back in the shade, so it doesn’t get 65,000 degrees in my car.” “Yeah, things you don’t want to hear from your bank…‘Oops’.” "You've been tasered!" "Click-click-a-click...booyah!" “Blame it on Kell, it’s all his fault…It was either Kell or Canada and you’re closer.” “Girls just want to have Lu-unch…” “I have been Dudded.” (After receiving some Milk Duds) “Get out of my Chaaiirrr.” (Said with a low raspy evil voice) “Gloria’s here…ruuunnn!” “That is highly possible…just not probable.” “Gift of tongues Kell, enjoy it.” “Revenge is a dish that is best served cold.” “Don't you think? Please use this well. Marriage becomes...

Tyler

We had to sneak in to take this during nap time last week. Any resemblance? He loves to sit in his "big boy" chair. Fourth of July BBQ (on the 3rd of July) in 60 degree windy weather (which is why he has a sweatshirt on).
