Mace turns 5!

I really can't believe it. He's been waiting to turn five for over 2 years!! Last week, all week, he would say things like this, "Let's measure me, I think I'm 5 now." "Did you see me catch that football, I'm definetly 5." "Look how much taller I am than this counter, I'm 5". So this morning we woke him up, in a rush as usuall, we had to hurry off to piano, and sang him Happy Birthday! He requested wheat waffles from scratch. I ground the wheat this morning. I think he took 2 bites and said he was full. urgh!!! He's never been a big eater. I love when people post pics of baby and now, so I'm going to copy.

Pics from Gaffigan....dinner before

Jim Gaffigan

HILARIOUS! I wanted him to stop for a minute so I could breath. I cried all my makeup off. My fav part was the bowling and camping jokes. When it comes out on DVD everyone should get it. If you don't have the old one.....so funny. If you haven't had a good belly laugh in a while....check it out.

Maroon 5

Maroon 5 Rocks!

We went with our friends to see Maroon 5. They were awesome. I loved the whole thing! We got a photo autographed by all and sweet t's.

Adults Only!?

This was at my closest friend since forever ago's house. It was basically an adult party....did I mention I brought 5 kids. (mine plus my bro's baby) Awesome. This is the entertainment my children provided for everyone. Thankfully, I know Jenn still loves me:)

Books....good and bad

Ok. I know not everyone is a dog lover....but this is really a great book. It's hysterical and it's alot about lifes lessons. I really enjoyed and it and am excited for the movie to come out. Owen Wilson and Jennifer Aniston are in it.

The Host: My pic. didn't download. I'll add it later. I hated this book. I couldn't appreciate it at all. I thought it was a waste of time.

The Last Lecture: This book was amazing and a great guide to keep with you for life. It really helps you appreciate the life you have and makes you feel like every moment with the ones you love is such a blessing. I think everyone should own this book.

First Day of School!!!!

DC., Monuments, and Smithsonians

We loved being in DC with family. The more the merrier!!!!

Washington DC

Washington Monument and the Lincoln Memorial


Arlington Cementary

Our trip to Washington was awesome! I loved it and felt very educated. Since I think I'm the last one I know to go there I won't repeat all the details to you. I do want to say I'm so thankful that I live in America. I'm so grateful for our freedom. I'm forever in debt for the many, many Americans who serve and fight for our freedom.
