30

I'm behind on my posts I know and to say that September has been busy is an understatement. We kicked off the month with Brian's big 30th birthday! I threw him a party in our backyard with all the trimmings, balloons (per Finley's request), his favorite cheesecake (homemade by his sister), fun patio lights, lanterns with candles, yummy BBQ food, and the company of his friends and family. Considering he had just raced a 83 mile (8:30 hour) bike race that day he was a good sport of conversation's and staying up late. Though I've only known Bri for 9 years he is the most wonderful man I know. His love for the girls and I is undeniable and everlasting. He's helped make me a stronger and more confident person all with patience and compassion. I must add that Bri is aging quite nicely, I sill find him irresistible even in the spandex he wears half the year. I love watching him ski, ride his bike and play with the girls.

I wish I would have gotten more pictures of his party but between hosting, and chasing kids you kind of get sidetracked. Thanks to all those who came and helped out, it was a great evening. A special thanks to my mother in law and father in law for having and raising such a wonderful son. Bri, I love you with all my heart and look forward to sharing more birthdays with you!

Some of Bri's favorite candies. Rock candy, Peanut M&M's, and Reese's Pieces.

The kids spent hours just playing on the tramp.
