Garage Sale, Birthday, Biking, Garden, etc!!!

Whew, it's been a while since my last blog! Woopsie daisy! We've been very busy with, well, life! Here's an update of our past couple weeks...

We survived our first garage sale and it was awesome! It was totally worth the hard work and we're glad it's over. I'm still working on the 'clean-up'...sorry about that hon...we'll get it done and get your truck back in the garage soon!

Brian's 30th birthday was May 7th (along with our nieces 5th birthday!) and we kept the day low key...which was sneaky...I threw him a surprise birthday party on Saturday the 9th and I pulled it off! He was actually surprised! We had a fabulous time with family and friends! Thanks to all who could make it! It was a gorgeous evening, perfect for the kids to play outside, and we ended the evening with a perfect bonfire. It was so fun!

Then Mother's Day was that Sunday and I have to say, it was the best Mother's Day I ever had! Brian asked what I wanted, and I told him that I want to stay in bed and relax all day :). I woke up around noon, got an amazing brunch in bed, opened fabulous gifts from the kiddos and hubby - they made flower pots and planted flowers that they picked out - how cute is that?!? Then we got my favorite for dinner - Papa John's pizza...oh yum! It was a perfect day! Thank you honey!!!

Evan has a new trick - he can now ride his bike without training wheels! As of yesterday, May 14th, he just took off! It's really fun to watch him and he absolutely loves it! He's doing so great and growing up so quickly! He graduates from preschool on Tuesday...I better get the kleenexes ready!

We are also working on our garden 'plot' in the backyard! How exciting is this...we are going to hopefully grow some food! Yippee! The boys loved helping out and we're hoping to get it tilled up today and get the plants in soon!

I tried to make this as short as possible! I think for myself I did fairly well :). Enjoy the pics!
