Birthday Girls

Emily and I had our 27th and 29th Birthday last month. Her's is on the 11th and mine the 13th which means we ALWAYS have a joined party and we love it. Jill said she loves birthdays, especially her own and offered to make our cake and have a little party at her house.

The cake was delicious. We all thought Bret was the one who made it because he seems to know his way around the kitchen, but come to find out she has greatly improved on her cooking skills. On a side note Bret has the best chocolate chip cookie recipe I've ever had. The bad news is they only taste good when he makes them, which isn't often enough.

I've been really spoiled lately. The girls gave me a big mirror for my living room. It's beautiful!! I just need Bret to hang it for me. My mom got me a gift certificate to the Corn Wagon Quilt Co. and Nana gave me a scarf & hat. Bret had to work that night but I took the day off of work and we went shopping together and out to eat. I ended up buying a few wants/needs and had a great time with him. Here are a few more pictures from our party:

I just love this face. I can't get enough of him!!

Emmett is really good at puzzles (takes after his mom). He sometimes mixes up the animal pieces on purpose and then thinks he's funny and says, " i fix it" as he puts the pieces in the right spot.

P.S. Also the other night Emily and I went to a digitial scrapbooking class/event and my mom watched both of our boys. They were both sick so we felt kind of guilty leaving them but Jude managed. We had the best time together and I'm working on Emmett's baby book. It's turning out really cute. We are using Heritage Makers, and we both love it. I just love getting together with Emily. We were so giggly, I haven't laughed that hard in a while. I only laugh that hard once every few months. (Makes me miss Joey, I used that laugh that hard almost daily with him.) We got home and my mom had quite the night. Emmett slept on and off and cried a few times. I asked him if he had fun with grandma and he said, "i cry". I asked him why and he said, "Emmett cried". My mom also said she went in to change his diaper and he grabbed her arm and said, "thanks mom". He's so cute lately and says so many things.
