Surprise!

My sister's birthday was today, so a few of us decided to surprise her and show up at her church meeting this morning. I think we got her! It was pretty fun.

We spent the afternoon visiting and playing around and eating. Thanks for letting us crash your birthday Jessica! Hope you had a happy one!

Avery was in heaven with all the magnets on the fridge. Me too, cause I was pretty tired and it was nice she was entertained.


I just realized I don't have any pictures of the birthday girl. (aforementioned TIRED) But, we did manage to check out Ryan's newest toy. I was skeptical when he said motorcycle, but I'm now adding one to my birthday list! It's so fun!

After riding my bike, I especially appreciated a throttle. I could get used to that! Even if I was going so slow a five year old beat me on his pedal powered bike. In my defense, he's pretty quick.


Brian also gave it a go and decided he wanted it for his commute to his NEW JOB!!!

Yes, A NEW JOB! We are so excited. We've had a VERY unhappy year of long commutes, catty women in the office, and interested management. So, we're feeling very blessed in this economy to have a such a refreshing change and a short enough commute he can ride his bike!
