I know this is a Very over due post, but I am trying to catch up on the most biggest events that have gone on and this is one I don't want to skip. 

We celebrated Matt's 27th & Justin's 3rd Birthday in April on the same day this year.

We had a combo birthday bash at my parents home "Cowboy Theme" and was planning on a fun day in the sun playing outside with the kids in the kiddie pool and have the sprinklers on for them to run thru.

But it decided to rain and blow like crazy that day so we just hung out inside and had a nice time visiting, eating & had a yummy BBQ with Justin's favorite foods.   Justin had a lot of family and a few friends that came and made his birthday very fun and entertaining.  Thanks to all that came and helped us celebrate! He got spoiled once again and loved all his gifts! 

Poor Matt didn't get a gift from me this year :(  Due to saving money.  But he did get the BEST news Ever right before his birthday and that was that the bank accepted our offer on the house of our dreams!! 

We were seriously NOT expecting to hear such good news!  We pretty much were kissing it goodbye thinking there was no way in heck that they would accept such a low offer, but man were we Wrong and so happy for the results!!  =)  So that was his birthday gift!! lol

And as for Justin... His gifts from us was a pool, a big Little Tike's slide that kind of looks like a cabin tree house and a Very neat book I made for him at Costco of all his Adventures before the age of 3 and he Loved it all!!!
