Lucky 21!

21 baby! Twenty One! Last Thursday marked my 21st birthday! All I've got to say is.. its about time! I know I am young, but turning 21 seemed like a big step for me. I was feeling very good and very grown up until all my wonderful friends let me know that I am still the baby. I guess I just feel older being married with a baby who'll be one soon BUT at least now I will hear no more cracks about not being able to get into bars and clubs or having to be left home cause I'm not old enough. Ha! I'm old enough now! Bring on the booze! :) There's nothing I cant do now! Except maybe get better rates on my car insurance. Stupid system.. apparently you have to be 25 to get the cool discounts. But anyways my birthday was really great this year. It is every year, but this year it was particularly great. My friend Ali decided to throw me a surprise birthday party. She said she was going to take me out to lunch but didn't mention the part that she had invited all our friends. It was so awesome! Crazy Ali... Ha ha thanks so much hun! Thanks to everyone else for coming. :) I was super bummed earlier cause Darren had to go to work and Tray was having a very ornery day so I thought my birthday was a bust. But it really picked up. Later when Darren got home he surprised me with our favorite Chinese food..it was soo good! He told me that he was going to be in charge of dinner and when I got home I asked him what was for dinner cause I didn't see anything.. he said he was heating up some left overs (which really concerned me cause I was pretty sure there was nothing edible in my fridge) so I opened the microwave and found our Chinese food.. the little sneak :) Then he made me a cake and just in time too, right after he took it out of the oven the power went out! We were planning on having friends over for cake and ice cream and I thought the power out would've put a damper on the night but we still had a great time. After stuffing our faces with all sorts of junk we played catch phrase by candle light... very romantic ;) All in all it was a great day. And Tray-Tray even got me a present! The gift of mobility! Ha ha he decided to crawl! Awesome huh?! Now he is just getting better and faster and getting into everything.. I love it! My brother and sister in law came up to visit for the weekend too. We loved having them here, it was so much fun! On Friday we went out to dinner, then got a group together for some mad volleyball, which was so fun! Then Saturday was fight-night! Now that was fun! And right before it was supposed to start the power went out again! (Stupid Rock Springs!) But luckily My friends husband who was hosting the shin-dig had a generator! (nice right?!) So they hooked up the TV and ordered the fight. It was probably the only house in the neighborhood with power it was so awesome. The fights were really cool and the food was super yummy! Thanks for the invite Jen! Then Sunday was my friend Ali's birthday so we went over there for some MORE cake and ice cream. I swear I gained 20 lbs over the weekend. ha ha after eating we got together a giant game of signs which was hilarious! We definitely came home a crashed after all that.. What a great weekend!

Tray Learning to Crawl.. This was the morning after he learned, so he's slow. He's much faster now and getting into everything!

Trays Aunt Christie got to him and did his hair all crazy for fight-night.
