January continued to be a crazy busy month, but was a fun month, indeed. Our dear family friends, Keith and Denise Brown put on a combo soiree for my brother AJ and me that was top notch! AJ was moving to Nashville on January 15 (my actual birthday), and we were combining his going away party with my birthday celebration. It was a great night of fellowship and laughter. Even though I was missing Dane and Mike (Dane was sick and couldn't come up that weekend), we enjoyed our time together immensely. Ryan ran around like a maniac most of the night...shocking, I know:) Thanks to the Browns for throwing a wonderful party!
I got to spend my actual birthday with my boys as we headed to Ruby's for breakfast. They were both sick (I know, bad mom), but I had to get out of the house!
On January 19, Mike and I took the boys to Monster Jam at Qualcomm Stadium. Since Dane had to miss the first trip, we thought we'd treat him to Monster Jam in OUR town. Well, what do they say about the best laid plans? Yeah....the boys were both in the WORST funk and having such a difficult time. Who knows why. I was really pregnant and frustrated with the huge crowds as well, so I was no picnic either. Once we got to our seats, though, things got a little better and we enjoyed some hot dogs and candy. The boys pepped up a bit after that, but it was a lot of work the entire time to keep them happy. As we all left the event, Mike and I agreed we were done with Monster Jam for the year. WHEW!
Check out the photos (thanks dad for all the Brown party pics!) and get a feel for what we've been up to. Thanks for reading the blog! We appreciate you keeping up with our family!
