So on August 13th my dad turned the BIG 50! My brothers and mom and I all got together and planned him an amazing surprise birthday party at Mackie's Pizza in Marion. It was sooo wonderful and the food there is always great!

This was the big entrance smile!

Thanks to my brother and his girlfriend for helping me decorate!

I can't believe my dad is 50! Guess my mom is next!

His camoflauge cake

uh oh....somebody got him a naughty gift!

Mom helping the "old man" read his cards

So with Shane moved into the bigger room, Jarod and I had to move to the smaller room. I actually LOVE it. We didn't think we could downsize but actually it turned out nice!

this is my new uppercase living decal that I put in our bedroom :)

Now I want to go buy a new comforter set...if Jarod will let me :) We've had this one since we got married.

Shane's big boy room

Well after some much needed summer clean-up/painting/yard sale etc, we finally switched rooms with Shane so he could have a bigger room that he will eventually be sharing with a brother/sister. So we got him a twin bed and made his "big boy" side of the room. He is still not out of his crib yet but i'm not pushing it! He still doesn't even know how to climb out of his crib yet!

The left side is the "big boy" side and the right side is still his crib

the baby side (which he still is my baby!)
