Happy B-Day Grandma, Mommy, Daddy & Aunt Jennifer!

The weekend of September 11-13 we decided to head to Ponca City to celebrate Grandma and Mommy's birthday as well as try and make it to the home opening OU game. For the last 3 or 4 years we have always made it down to Norman for this game. This year we thought it would be fun to take Madelyn down for the experience. We left for Ponca City Friday evening and when we woke up Saturday morning we decided not to go to the game because there was 100% chance of rain. Good thing we didn't buy tickets beforehand. It turns out this was a good decision, as despite it being a beautiful day in Ponca City, Norman had a pretty good amount of rainfall. We ended up having a relaxing Saturday with my parents and since it was my Mom's birthday we enjoyed partaking in her b-day calls with Brian, Melanie & Lauren and Jennifer, Antonio & Thomas. We video chatted with Jennifer and the boys which was a lot of fun.



At one point in time Jennifer was actually able to play pic-a-boo with Madelyn through the conference. Antonio helped Mom blow out her b-day candles and it was funny to see him blowing into the screen on their end. We ended up going to 5:15 mass that night so we wouldn't have to wake up to early on Sunday. Sunday was Mommy's birthday and we celebrated it by having breakfast and cake with some of my family. Madelyn got to meet Uncle Mike and Aunt Becky, and a little latter Uncle Steve, Aunt Janice, Teresa and Elizabeth came over as well. We sang happy birthday to me, mom, and Trish, and when that was over Grandma even let Madelyn take a turn at blowing out the candle. All in all it was a great relaxing weekend, and it was awesome to get a chance to go home and see family.






























Coming home we stopped to do a diaper change on the front seat of the car, not the easiest maneuver, but we managed to get it done. After that I decided to get a picture of my two beautiful girls in front of the sunflowers. It was a long drive home, but the weekend was certainly worth it, we had a blast.
























Thursday was my b-day and my sister's b-day. We got home from work and called Aunt Jennifer and they were having a b-day pizza party. It is always good to talk to her and we really enjoy talking to my nephews. Antonio always makes us laugh! After feeding Madelyn we decided to head out to dinner for my birthday. We went to Zio's for my favorite Spicy Chicken Alfredo. It is one of Trish's favorite restaurants as well so it worked out well.

September was full of birthday's so HAPPY BIRTHDAY and thanks Mom for making my favorite cake and Trish really thanks you!!!!!
