Happy Birthday Brandon!

This past Friday was Brandon's 29th Birthday! Yep, this means Brandon only has 364 more days of being in his 20's. Sounds like I need to start planning a big 3-0 Celebration for next years Birthday. I always give Brandon the choice of going out for his B-Day dinner or staying home and I will cook him a meal of his choice. This year Brandon chose to stay home, but he wanted my Dad's famous Hot Wings for dinner. Yeah, says a lot about my cooking, huh? J/K. My dad agreed to make his famous Hot Wings with his special Hot Sauce and I made a veggie tray and Brandon's favorite Potato casserole to go with them. We invited a few friends over to help celebrate. It was such a fun night. After we put the kiddos to bed, us adults stayed up and played some Mexican Train. We had a blast. Warning there are a million pictures in this post. Enjoy!

The day before Brandon's Birthday, Owen and I made daddy a special Birthday Cake. I asked Brandon if he wanted one of my famous home made Ice Cream cakes, but of course he said no and wanted a Funfetti Cake. Yes, my friends the one with the rainbow chip pieces in the frosting. I guess you never grow out of some things. Lol.

Owen really made the whole cake. I was just there for measurements and overseeing his work. He said, "First I need to wash my hands." He is so funny. Reading the package directions.

Making sure he has all the proper ingredients.

Pouring.

Dumping.

Mixing.

Watching. Please don't laugh at my ancient Sunbeam Mixer. This was a hand-me-down from my mom that she has had basically my entire life, so its about 26 years old. Brandon has offered to buy me a fancy new Kitchen Aid mixer but I honestly LOVE this thing. Sometimes the old is better than the new.

Setting the timer.

Testing.

He was absolutely shocked when I let him have the spatula to lick. I know its probably not the best since there is raw egg in the mix, but my mom let me do this as a child and I survived. Sometimes you have to break the rules and have a little fun.

Owen's Masterpiece. Daddy Loved it!

Before our guests arrived for the party, Brandon took sometime to open up his cards from his family out of town. Thanks everyone for all the wonderful gifts and Birthday wishes for my wonderful husband.

Family Picture. Owen is cracking up, I love it!

Dinner. Chicken Wings and Potato Casserole.
My Dad's famous wing sauce. We were all sweating while eating this stuff. It definitely has a kick to it! Owen and Olivia watching some cartoons while we were eating dinner. They are so adorable.

Mommy and Autumn.

Singing Happy Birthday. Owen loves this part of Birthday's since he loves to sing.

Blowing out the candles. Owen was playing with my Dad and I came in to tell him it was time to go up to bed. They were trying to pretend they were asleep so I wouldn't take him up to bed. Nice try Owen your a terrible faker!

Olivia & Kaitlyn getting ready for nigh nigh time. We have tried many times to put Olivia to bed at our house so we can have some adult time, but it always fails. Not this time my friends! We put Livie to bed in Brandon and I's King size bed and she did great. It was so nice to have some time to our self's kid free!

Getting ready for bed!

Owen and Olivia were playing with his train set in his room before bed and they decided to try and get away with sleeping together. If we would've let this happen they would have been up all night playing. Nice try kiddos we can totally tell your faking.

Present Time!

Of course more Broncos apparel. According to Brandon, you can never have too much!

Some much needed new work attire. Thanks Mimi!

Playing Mexican Train. For all you who have no clue what this is, it is a super fun domino game. Please excuse my Christmas table cloth, we use it so the domino's don't make such a loud noise on the glass table.

My mom & dad.

Me and My Bestie, I love this girl! We had so much fun. Happy Birthday Brandon!
