Happy birthday Greg!

     This week Greg turned 41 and Charlie hit her three month mark on the same day.  Greg took the day off for his birthday so we were able to spend a little time hanging out.  We washed the car and went to lunch. Of course we had a few kids in tow too. For dinner we kept it simple at home and had a little cocunut cream pie for dessert, per Greg's request.  (Lucky for me he was satisfied with Marie Callender's frozen version and didn't request home made.)

I know he's not wearing his hat but that really is Greg first thing in the morning on his birthday.

Kayli and I went and bought a couple t-shirts for Greg and of course a balloon or two and some candy.  The balloon says happy 40 and than I got one more balloon making 41, much cheaper than buying 41 balloons don't you think?

This little angel is now 3 months old and about as cute as they come.  (I'm sure she's checking the print out to be sure I spelled everything right.)

She likes to keep her hands together and usually needs one hand to hold the other one when she needs to suck on something.

I'm pretty sure that's a classic Kayli look.

On our way to lunch we got behind this guy.  I guess he doesn't have a truck but this works just as well.  Classic!

Charlie was a complete angel while we enjoyed our lunch.

We ate at this great little Mexican restaurant, La Costa, which has the BEST salsa!  They also have great food and service.

Do you recognize him now that he's wearing his hat or is the grey in his goatee throwing you off;-)

Mark really went all out and bought Greg a soda at Hart's.  Our neighbor also bought Greg a soda and brought it by just shortly after Mark's.  No doubt Greg loves his D.P. but two that late at night, not a great idea.

And of course Greg had a birthday card or two and a little money to add to his slowly growing truck fund.  (For some reason Greg is hell bent on purchasing his buddies 1976 Ford truck and is putting away any and all cash he can get his hands on.)

   And just some fun random photos.

These two figured if these headbands can make Charlie look so cute than it's got to work for them too.  I would have to agree.

Princess Charlie!

McClane loves a photo opportunity.

Maybe we should play, "Caption this."  I'd love to know what she's thinking.

McClane can give some sweet kisses and Charlie generally enjoys them.

     I can't believe November is half over!  The time is going so FAST!  The kids are counting down until our trip to Oregon.  When I asked Brock about Thanksgiving and why we celebrate it all he could say was, "We go to see our cousins."  I hope the trip meets his expectations.  And Carter has been including in his prayers lately that he hopes everyone gets what they want for Christmas.  I guess that means I better start praying for a money miracle or pray that what the kids want for Christmas is cheap and easy to come by:-)  I definitely have a love/hate relationship with the holiday season.
