Adam's 30th!!!!

My dear sweet husband turned 30 this past Sunday and we had a great time celebrating him!

Unfortunately I got some sort of 24 hour bug and/or the baby rejected our yummy Indian food dinner on saturday night so I spent his birthday with massive stomach pain and all the yucky-ness that comes with the flu. It was not pleasant!

I was soooooooo disappointed too because I thought we would have the funnest day as a family, instead Adam went to church by himself, Bennett was picked up at 8am by my mom and spent the entire day with her and I stayed in bed until 3pm when I drug myself out of bed to take a shower.

Lucky for us, Adam's mom goes to our church and she was already planning to spend the afternoon with us so she took Adam out to lunch and then took him shoe shopping!

So once Adam got home and he saw just how sick I really was, he set into to getting ready for his party that was at 5 (that I should have been preparing for all day!)  My lovely neighbors pitched in and Adam went and picked up the hot wings and my mom came and picked me up and remarkable the house was perfectly ready and there was no sign of sickness when the first guest arrived at 5!

Adam is totally a quality time guy, he doesn't care if you get him a birthday present, but he does care that you take time to spend with him. So seeing how he is a crazy busy man who hardly ever gets a moment off from working and has even less time to see friends, I planned him a "Man Night" for his birthday! (which worked out awesome since I didn't have to be there!) 11 guys came over and they all just sat around and ate and talked and played Halo and Risk and I don't know what else... but I do know the last guys left at 1:30 am so I'm taking it as a success! (Bennett and I spent the night at my mom's)

Here's all 5 (yep, 5 total!) pictures that were captured of Adam's 30th Birthday:





Glory be to God, I woke up Monday morning and I felt great! Either the bug or all the Indian food had finally all left me and I was good as new! I was very thankful because Monday morning was the family breakfast at Richie's Diner (fun and random tradition in my family) for Adam's birthday!



After a yummy breakfast of food that no one should eat for breakfast on a regular basis, we moved on to our next birthday activity, Kung Fu Panda Two!



It was totally great and it was Bennett's first time going to the movies - ever!
He got some celebratory "Pop-Pop" due to the occasion!


He didn't make it thru the whole movie and I had to stand with him while walked up and down the stairs 8,000 times but he passed out with about 30 minutes left, poor guy, he has no closer to the movie!

After the movie we took my brother Casey home (it was about 1pm at this point) and ended all taking naps and staying for spur of the moment BBQ with my parents!

Despite my sickness, I know Adam had a great birthday weekend and I am sooooo thankful for everyone who helped and came and celebrated and loved him!
