My birthday

We started my birthday celebrations for lunch on Sunday.  We met the fam at Firebirds after church.  Kristen was all stressed out because she says this the nicest restaurant Fulton has ever been to, and she was a little worried how he would do.  He and KK did some coloring and he kept himself occupied pretty well and was such an angel.

On my actual birthday, Tuesday, I look up from my desk while busy working away and see Mom, Kristen and Fulton walking in to surprise me with balloons and a cookie cake!  It was so fun to have them come up and spend some time with me.  Then my co-workers took me to lunch.

Steven and I tried a new place (new to us...it's been around for a while) for my birthday dinner.  We went to 26...how appropriate...26 on the 26th of March.  If only it was my 26th birthday too.  Sadly that one is long gone :(

I could not have asked for a better day...except maybe to have had the day off work :)

Thanks to everyone who helped make my day so special.

Enjoying the weather

The weather was so nice this past weekend we decided to do a little grilling out at Mom & Dad's house.

Fulton took full advantage of the play set, while dinner was getting ready...

 then he filled up on grapes while the meat was finishing up.

He is such a little mess...sometime you'll get a "cheese" for the camera, and other times he won't he even look at you.  Either way, he is the cutest thing!

Luckily, Mom hung onto all these beanie babies that we (mainly me) spent hundreds of dollars on.  Why in the world did I feel like I needed to buy every one of these??  Believe it or not, there were many that I never got...you know the hot, coveted, collector ones.  Glad my silly obsession from quite a few years back can provide some entertainment for Fulton :)
