Happy Birthday!

We have had a lot of birthdays lately. On Monday we celebrated my brother in-law's birthday. Friday was our dog, Wrigley's 7th birthday. Saturday was Justin's 30th birthday. Sunday is our niece, Maya's 4th birthday and this next Friday is our niece Keelie's 6th birthday. Saturday morning we woke up to toilet paper all over our backyard, thanks to some kids in the youth group. Justin wanted to go to a Japanese restaurant where they cook on a grill in front of you for his birthday. I forgot to take pictures there. My nephew, Evan was scared of the fire, but my niece loved it. Justin with his Dairy Queen peanut butter cup blizzard cake.

Evan. He finally smiled for the camera when I told him he had to take a picture to get a piece of the ice cream cake.
Today we drove to a college an hour from here to see Justin's old tennis team. The college he played for was going to be in this town. He was looking forward to seeing his old coach. We got there and no one was around. Finally an hour later, tennis players started showing up. We went and asked them about Justin's old college and to find out if they were still playing. Turns out that another team was late showing up to the tournament yesterday, so Justin's college played both matches yesterday and we missed them. So we drove 2 hours round trip for nothing....
I am glad this week is over. It was an exhausting week back after spring break. Then I had conferences til 7 Tuesday and Thursday. 44 days left of school... I am counting down
