Bubble Wrap Rocks!

This was awhile back, but AJ got the frame for his diploma and it was encased in bubble wrap. We laid it out and let Matt just go for it. He had so much fun with it. Just with AJ being home and enjoying family time before he started work I forgot to post it. Enjoy!

Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop!

Oh what fun it is to jump and pop!

That is one happy boy!

Happy Birthday Mom!

Like I promised in my last blog here are the party pictures. Matt chose chocolate cake mix, chocolate frosting, and chocolate sprinkles for my birthday cake. Does my son know me or what? It was absolutely perfect and we had a wonderful time. My guys really know how to treat a lady. Thank you again my boys for making my birthday so special!

My Special Birthday Cupcake

Birthday Girl with her Cupcakes

He was very patient. Seeing how we

did torture him a bit by having the

cupcakes that close all through out

our dinner.

Going in for the taste...

and got it!

Matt was eyeing down those

cupcakes the whole time.

Eating the cupcake and drinking some milk.

Yummy!

I know it is dark, but that is my sweet little boy singing me Happy Birthday totally un-coached. It made me a little misty eyed. He is getting way too big!

Cupcakes 101

For my birthday Matt and AJ surprised me by making cupcakes. I got to sit back and watch (and take pictures) while they slaved over this birthday treat for me. It was a wonderful surprise and we all had a lot of fun.

The final taste before going in the

oven according to Matt, "mmmmm."

Which in Matt speak means, bake

those cupcakes and fast!

Coming Soon: The after pictures of the finished product and my little party they threw together for me. I am one lucky girl to have these two amazing guys in my life!

Sharp-da-Tooth and a Little Extras

AJ and I checked out the Land Before Time for Matt to watch. For those who may not know it is a dinosaur movie for kids. In it the T-rex is called Sharp-tooth. He is also Matt's favorite character if you can believe that. Matt was so worried about the big mean dino when he off the screen, and just waiting for another glimpse of him.

Matt was so taken by this character that we now play dinosaurs A LOT! Matt is always the T-Rex, but as Matt now calls him Sharp-da-Tooth.

Poor unsuspecting animals have no idea

what is about to happen.

Watch out! Here comes Sharp-da-Tooth!

No wait it is just Boogie-o-Saurus!

Who loves to get the animals.

Especially if mom built them.

To make sure he got them all

Lighting McQueen was brought

in as backup!

(Kaaa-Chowww)

The aftermath of all the attacks.

A Safe Spot???

Poor Tobi is always looking for a

safe place to lay down,

and she can never find it.

This picture is included in hopes

to make you smile. It makes

AJ and I laugh every time we

see it, and we wanted to share.
