My Birthday

Ok, so I celebrated the day my mom gave birth to me on Saturday. No joke I am an April Fools Baby! :) I had a great day. I got up and scrubbed the tub with my new gadget, Mr Clean MagicReach Bathroom Cleaner, and then I started a load of laundry. The little ones got up and I fixed them and myself some breakfast. Terrilyn got up shortly after they finished and asked me what I wanted for breakfast. I told her I already ate! My mom came up for a BBQ dinner and before we ate she took Terrilyn to the store to buy stuff to make a cake. How SWEET! After they got back I went with my mom and step-dad to Sam's Club. We wandered around for a bit, tasting the samples and looking for what we would like to have! :) That's always FUN! I haven't been able to do that with my mom for a while, since she started her chemo for breast cancer in December. She has been pretty weak! It was a blast!

Then we came home and had BBQ hamburgers and hot dogs with potaot salad and chips. A couple of friends came and had dinner with us. Then we ate the cake Terrilyn made! Way to go Terrilyn! It was GREAT! YUMMY, too! She used a white cake mix (2 really) and colored them GREEN! (Gotta be GREEN if anything!), 3 different chocolate frosting, with green sprinkles and Rolo candies on top! I got some homemade cards from the kids, a card from my mom and Terrilyn(a rose, too), A gift card, and a cutting board/strianer combo.

Sunday we went to church (we forgot to set our clocks ahead even after repeated reminders! and missed Sunday School, but at least we didn't miss the Worship Service!) We learned a new song (at least I had never heard it before) called This Day (words in next blog entry). Then we came home and later in the afternoon my dad and step-mom came. After spending sime time outside with my dad and his service dog, Sam(who thinks he HAS to be outside the whole time he is here), we came in and had cake and ice cream. The cake was just as good as the day it was made! YUM! Then we played Phase-10.

I will post a picture of my cake at another time as it is still on my camera, I think.

God Bless!

Steve turned 38!

Well, Steve survived another birthday! :) And he doesn't look any worse for the wear! :)

We went to a place called Tucanos. It is a Brazilian Grill. (Seems there are only 2 restaurants in the united States www.tucanos.com) They have an awesome menu! Steve loves to eat there as it is all about MEAT! Almost. They do have a great salad bar there, too, but Steve goes for the meat! And it is all you can eat! We had Tri-Tip Steak, Garlic Sirloin, Honey BBQ chicken, Buffalo Chicken Wings, Bacon Wrapped Turkey, Turkey Sausage, Grilled Veggies, Grilled Pineapple, Beef Brisket. Menu here. While it was mostly good, there were a few meats I didn't like as well. And of course my favorite was the Buffalo Chicken. Steve LOVED the Garlic Sirloin the most. It was great that Terrilyn and Delsa watched the kids for us so we could go. I can't wait for my birthday! We signed up for the Birthday Club. They send you a certificate for a buy one get one free dinner. I also signed Terrilyn and Delsa up for the Birthday Club.
