Partied out.

You got it. I'm partied out. But not in the way you're probably thinking! We had a fun jam packed weekend! And I never thought I would be sick of eating and socializing, but today I am. We actually started out the weekend Thursday by celebrating G-daddy's birthday. Then Friday, we dropped Caden off at Mimi and Popsie's and Brandon and I headed to Big Spring Jam. We met up with some friends and had a great time. The best part was the food! They have all kinds of fattening goodies! You just can't beat funnel cakes, chicken on a stick, corn on a stick and much much more! Now, I was very disappointed in the music this year. They didn't have the christian stage and the bands we saw just stunk. But it was nice to have some grown up time! I always enjoy spending time with Brandon just him and I! And yes, we still act lovey dovey. The best part was sleeping in...Caden spent the night with my mom and dad so I actually got to sleep in, which rarely happens!

Then Saturday we had Brandon's family reunion, which I look forward to every year! There is so much food and we always leave there stuffed. This year there was lots of kids for Caden to play with. His family is so big and I still don't know everyone yet! It was a beautiful day and we had a blast! Caden really enjoyed jumping on the trampoline.

Saturday night we headed to our first annual neighborhood cookout! We just moved to our house in March, so we really didn't know many of the neighbors. We met so many sweet neighbors and I'm excited about getting to know everyone. We all decided to get together at least once a year to do this again! And we found out that our neighbors who live caddy corner to us have been going to our church for a couple months and we didn't even know it! We ate yummy food again and had a great time meeting everyone. Our good friends, who are also our neighbors across the street, came over afterwards for game night! We really enjoy game night with Curtis and Leah. We put Caden to bed and stayed up way to late playing Battle of the Sexes, and of course, us girls won! God is so good. I am reminded of his wonderful grace and blessings by how he let us live where we are! We didn't know a soul in our neighborhood because we were the first house. We are just so blessed with such awesome neighbors!

Yesterday, Sunday, was my 26th birthday! We went to church and stayed after for a cookout that my parent's connection class was having. So we ate again! Then Brandon's sweet parents came over and gave me my presents! Then we headed off again...but this time to the mall so I could do some birthday shopping! Brandon gave me a gift card to Bridgestreet and some killer Dolce&Gabbana sunglasses, he's an awesome hubby! I'm just like a little kid, you give me money and I want to spend it right away! So I indulged and bought myself some Christian Dior perfume and some new make-up! I rarely shop for myself, so this was certainly a treat! Then we met up with my mom for a wonderful birthday dinner at PF Changs! My dad had to miss it due to a business trip! Then we went to myparents for cake and icecream. I'm so thankful for wonderful family and everyone who made my birthday great! So needless to say, we're partied out. And my digital camera broke sat. so i had to take pictures with my cell phone. If anyone recommends a good camera, let me know. I'll be buying another one this week. I can't live without it! Here are two pictures from Sunday:
