Birthday Weekend!

I turned 25 this weekend, sad I know.

Good news is I had a great weekend.  I slept 3 hours after I got off of work Friday morning, then Margaux, Brittany, and Brandon came over and we went to the lake.  No one was out so we had great water.  Margaux learned to ride and is probably addicted to wakeboarding just like the rest of us!  We had a great time relaxing!  That evening we cooked out.  The 5 of us were there, plus Thad, Blake, Catie-from work, Jo, Noah, Josh, and Jake.  Alan and Brandon cooked and it was delish!  They also made me a cake and managed to get all 25 candles lit, it was cute!  They ended up playing wiffle ball for quite a while, I was running on very little sleep, so I just watched.  It was pretty entertaining.  I think everyone left around 1 am and then I got in the bed.

I had wanted to leave early for the lake Saturday morning, but decided to sleep in instead!  Brit and Thad met us later on at Huddle House, we ate and then went back to the house for a bit to watch a movie.  I'm not sure what the movie was, I was working on Maddy's picutres the whole time.




 After it went off, we went to the lake.  We had pretty good water since it was later in the evening.  I finally figured out how to switch!  We stayed till around 8pm.  My favorite time to be on the lake is late in the evening when everyone else is gone!  We had planned on going out to dinner, but I really just wanted to hang out at home with Alan, so that's what we did.  We tried to watch "Unknown" but both fell asleep.


Sunday morning, Nicole, Michael, and Logan came up.  We had breakfast and then went back to the lake for a bit.  We did the usual.  Nicole, Michael, and Logan all tried to wakeboard.  I'm really hoping Logan gets it figured out soon because I know he will love it.  I ended up clearing the wake and actually landing at 70 foot so I was super excited about that...Happy Birthday to me!  Logan tubed for quite a while, that's his favorite thing and this year he is much braver than he was last year!  We ran into a guy Alan used to work with a talked to them for a while.  After the lake, the boys went to play golf and Nicole and I played a couple of games of Monopoly, the Cars 2 version, with Logan and then we all napped.



Later, Logan, Alan, and I went to Chili's to eat for my birthday!  After that we took him over to Josh and Jake's to see Jake's snake.  He was scared of it at first, but ended up holding it and now he says he wants a pet snake.  I told him, that's one thing he probably won't be able to talk his parent's into!

We spent this morning relaxing and then went to town to do some shopping for school clothes!  This is the 1st year I've actually let him pick out some of his own clothing.  He could care less about jeans but he did pick out his shirts.  We also got Nicole a Brighton charm bracelet for her birthday.  I let him pick out which bracelet to get for her and he also picked her out a charm.
I'm not sure why he picked a frog, but that's what he wanted, so I let him get it.  Some of his other choices were a mouse, an airplane, and a fish!  We also got her an "S" for Sissy and because her last name will start with a "S" after she gets married and I got her one that says sister!  We are going to give it to her tomorrow!
