Happy Birthday Bubbs!








Today was little D's 7th birthday!! He had a fun day full of his favorite things....








7:45- Weigh-Ins (football)








8:30- Doughnuts and Kolaches with Dad








10:00-11:30 Football practice




& CUPCAKES!








1pm- 4:30- Pizza & Pool Party with friends and the fam! Thanks to everyone who came out! We let D invite who he wanted and had a fun mix of friends!








6pm- Dinner with the fam...sushi buffet (Bubbs pick...food blah..but company was great!:)








7:45- Off with Dad and Uncle M to Fantasy football draft like a big boy!








...7 yrs ago ...we just closed on our first house and I was 2 wks over due! I finally gave up and spent the night before painting like a mad woman and decided this boy would never come!








The next morning I went in for the 2nd time that week (I was going in every other day at that point!) to my usual appt. dressed in painting clothes because we we're heading straight back to the house to finish painting. There I was covered in paint and looking sooooo not cute and Dr. McD says he's sending me over to Labor and Delivery because he wanted to induce me. On my way there I went into full labor and my beautiful boy blew into this world with so much force I never even had to push! (Still very much the same today) The nurses knew exactly who he belonged to because he had paint chips all over him!








Here we are 7 years later and he is growing into such the little man. He is still so sweet and kind. He is definitely his father's son and loves sports and anything boy. He is full of life and is such a great example to those around him. I asked him what his favorite part about today was and he said getting his guitar from Papa and Uncle M and his first lesson!








We love you Bubbs! Hope you had an awesome day!

MY BIRTHDAY BOY!!
{that's a pic of both my birthday boys but we'LL talk about the older one for today!}

Happy Birthday to the best man I know! Yes, D is turning the big 35! I have to say...He gets HOTTER every year! He's getting bits of gray and eeeewwwweeeee! SEXY! OK this is a G rated show folks!

Seriously...I just want to say how much I love and appreciate him. He is such an amazing man. Thank you sweetie for all you do for us!!! Hope you are having a terrific day (working..of course! You'd think being the boss he'd take a break! Hmmm...I wonder where he got that from!=)

D has found his niche here in Dallas I think. He is doing all the things he loves. He's worked hard to build a good company. He works so hard and I am so proud of him! Anyone who knows him knows that he loves to work hard and even more than that loves to play hard! When he's not busy with Scouting or helping out with the boys wrestling and football, he squeezes in time for plenty of basketball, raquetball, softball and hunting. Seriously..it makes me tired just thinking about it all!

Happy Big Day Babe! I love you so much and am so blessed to have you in my life. You make my life so much more fun! 13 yrs and 5 babies later...that's pretty fantastic!

Here's to you! I love you!
