1 year bday party

Happy birthday to my lil' man! You are 1 year old! Woot Woot! We had to do his Bday on the 4th of July because my father in law was here, Quen had surgery the folling week, & Ryan was going out of town. I wasnt expecting a big turn out but, man oh man, this kid is loved! We had about 25 people come. The big day was at the park here in Kuna. Quen had a blast eating his cake & socializing with everybody. Q is such a flirt! He ate some good food, played with the other kids, flirted with all the women, opened his presents (he got a lot of them, spoiled lil' turd), & was pooped by the time it was over.

MY MOMS 47TH BIRTHDAY

I went up to Placerville for my moms birthday. Ryan had to work....Agian. Before I start driving up there, I get a phone call from Ryan telling me instead of driving up there later, the guys are just going to drop him off! Woo Hoo! Thats a way to save gas money. (For all of you that dont know, my husband is in the army & works on the black hawk helicopters) I called my parents & told them they better get dressed, Ryan will probably beat me up there. They asked why/how. I told them Ry is getting dropped off via helicopter. This is how the day started for my mom. She was so stinkin' excited.
My mom did not want a cake. She loves cookies so thats what we got her; one giant cookie. She got some presents & mostly loved the ring that my dad got for her. (my sis & I picked it out). We had a BBQ & hung out in the beautiful mountains. It couldnt have been a better day! I think she enjoyed it.
