Brian's 30th Birthday weekend

For Brian's 30th birthday, the kids and I surprised him at work with an ice cream cake and cards. His birthday was on a Wednesday this year, so I knew the only way to really surprise him with anything would be to do it at his work place. The kids were so excited that morning and Anna practiced singing the "happy birthday" song. Even Caiah got really excited when we walked into the office. It was really fun to surprise him with the help of his co-workers.
He was treated to pizza and ice cream, his two favorite foods.

We officially celebrated his birthday on Saturday with a family outing and then an Uno night with our good friends JM & Allison.
It was a really great time!

On Sunday, Brent (an old friend from PA) came out for a visit. We had a great time catching up and enjoying the warm weather.
Until we see you again, Mr. Brown! :)

So, it took me a little longer than expected to get this post up. This past week, Caiah had a dietician appointment and is having some dietary changes and adding benecalorie, a medical food that adds calories to food. Anna is getting over an ear infection. Brian is looking forward to going to Worlds of Fun (a local amusement park) this weekend with a friend. I am looking forward to relaxing on Sunday.
