Well, this past weekend was my birthday weekend. It was AWESOME! Thanks for all the call, cards, and messages. Friday, the kids called me from the top of the stairs and surprised me with a gift (they did this even though Tob was already at work!). Will knew where the gift and card was hidden and brought it out when I was down making breakfast. I was able to snap a pic on my phone! The kids got me the most beautiful birdhouse. I am still debating whether I will keep it indoors or not! Tob and I went out for a romantic dinner at the Melting Pot (his first time there). The kids had a blast with K,P and c while we were at dinner!
Saturday... The kids had a soccer game each. They both did fantastic! It's amazing how well they are doing with their teams. After lunch and naps (and after Daddy and Bapa were done working on his yard), we packed up for an exciting movie trip to see The Lion King in 3D. WOW, it was fantastic. The colors were so vibrant, the kids did awesome (even Gabi), and seeing it in 3D brought a whole new perspective, even for the adults!

Sunday... I got to go to Cedar Point for the 1st time. Tobin thought this would be a great birthday gift. We both enjoy amusement parks, but haven't been to one together (without kids). So off to Gramma and Bapa's the kids went on their own adventure to the Farm Park, and off we went to the adult park!!! The day couldn't be more perfect. The weather threatened rain... so the park was 1/2 empty. It ended up being a beautiful day, and we practically walked onto every ride with NO lines! Tob and I got to sit in the FRONT seat for most of the big thrill rides, including: Millennium Force, Dragster, Raptor, Magnum.... and several others! SO COOL! Tob says I was truly spoiled and will never want to go back on a regular day when I will have to wait in line =). We really had a blast together! When we got home, the kids couldn't stop talking about their adventure with the horses, cows, sheep and all the other animals they saw! They had a great time too! What a fun weekend!

Monday... Today the kids all went in for their regular dentist visit (we were a little behind). Happy to report they are brushing well and NO cavities (despite their sweet tooth!). Also found out Gabi is cutting ALL 4 molars at the same time while still having 2 others that are still growing... ouch! That may explain some recent crabbiness. and.... HAPPY 18th Birthday Evan! see ya later!
