The Birthday Girl (Me!)

My birthday was way back on June 28, while we were on vacation in Cancun.  We did a few things there to celebrate...Payton and I went parasailing, and our family went out for dinner.  But, my mom and dad always want to celebrate with our traditional party at their house, so we celebrated my birthday officially a few weeks late!

It seems that every time my parents host a party, it rains.  This year was no exception.  We headed over to their house and had just a few minutes to snap some photos before it started to rain!

Landon, Cohen, and Arie squishing ants.
Maybe the smiling camel face, or just Payton being silly!
Daughter Dear.
 Brady Boy.
 Payton grabbed the camera and snapped a few of her own...
 My parents beautiful backyard.

 And Little Lando.
We played about half a game of bags before it started to rain.  My mom actually joined in!

 Then it was time for dinner.  I always request a Mexican Fiesta and some DQ Ice Cream Cake.  This year, it helped us relive our time in Cancun.

Arie, Uncle Marky, and Lando beling silly.
 Auntie Abby and Brooks.
 More silly Lando, this time with Uncle Brad!
And a super cute pic of Brad, Jayne, and Arie.

Payton and her Pops.
With all the rain, the boys decided it was time for some outdoor undie-running!  Cohen.
 Landon.
Brady.
Heath.
And Nolan!
After all that exercise, it was time for some cake.  Peanut butter cup ice cream cake from DQ is pretty much my favorite dessert (except for Nothing Bundt Cakes, of course!)
My sons and nephews had to help me blow at the candles!


 Becky, my neighbor across the street came down and joined the party for a bit.  Foxy ladies!
I had a great night celebrating with my family.  Thanks for all the fun gifts!
