In DIRE need of a boost right about now...

Deven turns 26!!

For Deven's 26th Birthday I was planning on taking him to a Broadway show in Vegas because I assumed we would still be there. Since we've arrived in Washington I've been brainstormin' like a mad woman trying to come up with something fun, inexpensive and creative. What we ended up doing actually turned out to be the perfect fun-filled, eventful day:) GO JENN!

Deven and I woke up that morning to my mom and a BIG box wrapped in 'happy birthday' gift wrap. The gift inside was COMPLETELY unexpected but definitely enjoyable:) Thanks MOM!

This basketball hoop is something that he had wanted as a small boy but his parents said 'no' because he was pretty close to being too old for it and would quickly grow out of it....well, they were probably right...but apparently my mom doesn't agree. haha....I guess she was thinking about father-son activities when she bought it:)

After shooting some hoops with Porter, we got ready and started off in the afternoon with a lovely family bike ride along the Tacoma waterfront on their VERY POPULAR boardwalk:) LOVED IT! The temperature was in the upper 60's and the sun was shining throughout the entire day...so SO beautiful! I couldn't have asked for better weather. Afterwards we met up with my mom to drop off Porter, went to lunch, then hit up the batting cages. 'no pun intended'

I had planned to take him to Famous Dave's for dinner but instead my parents wanted to treat us so we waited until the next day. MMMMmmm! BOY, it was GOOD! You sure can't beat a meal served on a trash can lid now can you?

GREAT DAY OVERALL:) Very happy Birthday Boy:)

OH! And for his REAL gift....I am planning to take him paintballin' tomorrow:)

We Miss YOU!

These past few weeks, Porter and I have been CRAVING a playdate with sweet Sadie baby! Miss you Haley n Sadie!!!

On another note, Deven arrived SAFELY this morning in Seattle:) !! BIG PLEASANT surprise to me:) I wasn't expecting him until noon! Hoping to unpack the car and have everything in it's place in our 'new home' before he wakes up...he has gotten maybe 2 hours of sleep in the past couple of days. Awww:( Love you hun!!

'Smooth' Transitions?

In the last 4 weeks Deven and I have moved from Idaho to Washington...Wa to Vegas, Vegas to California...California to Washington. Whew!! After a wonderful mother's day weekend in California with my mom, sister, Great Grandma, Great Aunt and of course the handsome man I am blessed to have as a husband and my just as handsome baby boy Porter....we are FINALLY 'Settled?' in Washington! Oh boy!
