So Chris had his birthday last week,(The big 30) I'm reluctant to even mention it because he was really wanting to keep it hush hush. He didn't want a big fuss, which I had a little bit of a hard time with because it was a BIG birthday and I wanted to celebrate it. I did a little of the back and forth, "does he say he doesn't want anything but really he'll be sad if I don't do something..." and I also wondered if I should just defy him and do something behind his back anyways, but in the end I decided to give him what he wanted. My mom took the kids for the night and Chris and I had a nice dinner out, it was a quiet birthday, but I think he had a good one. I feel bad because it was over shadowed somewhat by the packing and the move that is going on right now, but he seemed content with letting it just pass by like any other day. He doesn't really care so much about birthdays, he never really wants to celebrate them, I like to celebrate other people's birthdays and make them special, but I understand because I like to play down my own. With the move we didn't really have much to give in the way of gifts, the kids and I made Chris a nice card, Carson and Lilli signed their own names which he loved, and they all told me in their own words what they wanted to tell him. I wrote him a nice letter, which we do from time to time. It's funny we've been packing and coming across old photos of us when we were dating... we both look SO young (which we should it was like 8 and a half years ago!)I think he got a little sad because I kept making comments about how young we looked and how much thinner we both were...like he thought I longed for him to look like that, which really isn't true. I told him, (which is 100% true) that I truly believe that he looks so much more handsome today then he did back then! That he gets More distinguished and more handsome each year! (Which he should believe because he knows I have a thing for older, distinguished news anchormen!) Anyways I just wanted to mention that he did have his birthday and it went great! He had a good day and was happy that he got so many birthday wishes from all of his friends and family!!

New Quotes.:
I asked the kids if they wanted mommy to have another baby? They said yes so I asked Lilli if she would want a little brother, to which she replied, "We already have a little brother...it's over there."
Carson and I were playing Go Fish and as usual he beat me pretty bad ;), he quickly ran to tell daddy, "I cleaned the foor with mommy!"
I plan out the dinners for the month on a calander in the kitchen and Friday's are always pizza days. A few Friday's ago Carson was so excited ALL day for Pizza. He kept asking if it was time yet, I kept telling him it wasn't pizza time yet and finally when Chris got home from work Carson ran up to him and asked, "Daddy, NOW is it Pizza O'clock?" (translation, "is it Pizza time yet)
On the Fourth of July Chris and I took the kids to see the fireworks show and we were eager to see what Landon's reaction would be to them. As soon as they started, he got a little startled but it quickly turned to excitement and then he would point to them and say "POPCORN!"
We often drive by the new Cowboys stadium and Carson will ask about it we'll tell him it's where the Cowboys play football...the other day we went there to drop Chris and a few of my brothers off to watch a soccer game, and Carson asked about what they were going to watch, I said soccer this time not football. A week later at church when we were walking the halls Carson asks about the pictures of the Temples on the wall so we'll tell him they are Temples and explain about them and he turns to us and asks, "But what about the soccer Temple? Where's the picture of the soccer Temple?" (it's a BIG stadium and I guess to him it looked like it should be on the wall of Temples.)
We were going grocery shopping the other day, Carson asked where we were going and I told him to the food store. Right then we passed McDonalds and he asks me, "At McDonalds they sell food right?" I said yes and he asks, "If they sell food there, then it's a food store right?" I again say yes I suppose so, and he says, "Well if it's a food store, then maybe we should go there this time."
When we were in Utah Uncle Daniel would take the kids out on the trampoline every now and then. Once they were out there and Lilli was bothered that Carson was jummping and bouncing her all around so she tells him, Carson stop, you're making me bounce and Carson replied, "that's not my problem." (A little rude.)
We went to lunch one day to Paradise bakery and Chris and I got a bowl of creamy potato soup. We sat down started eating and the kids started inquiring about our soup. We said it was potato soup with cheese...Carson shoot up and said to Chris, "That sounds like my kind of soup!" (We were laughing hysterically!)
