Happy Birthday to Me!

A big part of the reason these posts are so late is because I was still in my spring semester until last Thursday. Oh, and now I'm back again for the summer, but just for one day a week (thank goodness.)

As you are all aware, I recently celebrated my 24th birthday. Thanks Katie for the wonderful post all about how awesome I am. It's true, I really am awesome.

We celebrated a couple times. First we went out to eat dinner that night with a couple of friends, one of whom shares my birthday.

We're Awesome
Andrew and I share a birthday. Oh, and his girlfriend is named Katie.

Too dang cute
Carter enjoyed the restaurant.

After that we went home and I got to open presents. I love presents!

A few days later friends Chris, Adam and Astrid came over, and we did a little more celebrating.

no, is mine
Carter wanted to help me open the present.

CHIEF Rocking OUT
Adam got me a second Guitar Hero guitar with a custom faceplate he'd made. Rock on!


Katie made me a delicious brownie cheesecake for dessert that we all enjoyed.

What did I wish for?


Chris gave me a gift card to Gamestop, which we later used to buy Wii Fit. More on that soon!

Thanks everyone for making my birthday so rad: thanks for all the cards, gifts, and well-wishes!

Carter's First Beisbol Game

This post is late late late, but you know you're going to read it anyways.

Wha?

A few weeks ago Katie's dad procured some great Dodger tickets from work, so we all headed over to see them face off against the Houston Astros. Carter would join us for his first ever baseball game!

Grandparents At the ball game

He was wide awake for most of the game, but after a bottle and a diaper change he was out until we left in after the 7th inning (when the Dodgers were down 5-0.)

Joy!

Every now and then I surprise Katie with a bit of sports knowledge she didn't know I had. On this trip, she discovered that I knew what an RBI was. Go me!

Happy 24th Birthday, Ryan Glen!

Happy Birthday to the best husband and father in the world! We hope you have a great day. Carter and I can't wait to give you your presents because you're going to love them! We love you TONS!!!

Happy Mother's Day!

I had such a wonderful first Mother's Day thanks to my amazing husband and our adorable baby boy! Ryan gave me a Willow Tree figurine that has a mom, dad and baby (see picture below)and a transmitter for our iPod so I can use it in the car. Carter got me the cutest Precious Moment card with an iTunes gift card so I can get some music for our road trip to Utah next week.


This is so perfect


You guys are the best and I love you both so much! Thank you for making my first Mother's Day so special.
