Well, here are the birthday pictures finally.
I have some quiet time so thought I should get some of my pictures up for everyone.
Travis is out riding, probably freezing his tush off but if he is riding I suppose he and Josh don't really care.
It actually wouldn't be cold out if the wind wasn't blowing, but the wind is blowing so much that it makes it cold. Other than that it is a beautiful day. But I always hate to see the wind pick up here because it usually means it will roll in some clouds which makes things colder.
The boys are over at the neighbors house
Had Ty today, went over to moms old house and Travis and I cleaned it and then came home and had lunch, put Ty down for a nap and Travis went riding with Josh.
Nothing on the agenda for tonight that I know of.

We had a nice birthday for the boys.
I had talked Travis' parents into coming down to surprise him and the boys and they decided I needed a surprise and brought the cousins. Chance, Carson, Dawson and Savannah.
All went well and everyone had a great time.
We had pizza and wings for lunch on the day of the birthday.
Our family doesn't like cake too much and I didn't want to buy a cake for everyone to eat 1 piece and the rest be thrown away so we had cherry cheese cake, strawberry cheese cake and pumpkin white chocolate cheese cake. All thanks to TiaAna. Then we had our surprise so I had Travis run to the store and buy a big tub of ice cream since I figured the other kids wouldn't like cheese cake like my kids. So we had all our food then it was present time. They made out like bandits.
Got their dirt bikes they have been wanting for about 2 years and lots of money and some nice dress clothes among other things everyone got them, too many to list.
So after that Travis and his dad went to the store and so Cindy and I took all 6 kids and walked over to the school for some play time and baseball time. Travis and Greg joined us later and we had a great time and then it was home to bed. I am sorry all the cousins got sun burnt, I nor anyone else thought about it being all sunny and them not used to the sun as much. My boys were already all tanned up and pretty used to the sun but the other kids got a little toasted and no one remembered the sun screen thing until about 1pm when Uncle Travis noticed the red faces. As the kids were outside since about 9am and we kept them all out till after 6pm.
But it was a birthday to remember for everyone.
I have 2 slideshows here. Can only put 50 pictures per slide show so had to break it into 2. This is the day of their birthday.
