Candles and Carrot Cake

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO
MY WONDERFUL HUSBAND!!!!

Yesterday was Joe's Birthday and he turned the ripe old age of 27, yes...I am a cradle robber. While I am savoring every last day of my 20's, my "younger man" is in the midst of them!! Its actually quite funny however.... I get mistaken for someone in my teens..yes teens, I know a little ridiculous right??? and Joe, well people think he's in his 30's...sooo HA!! We had a pretty low key day I let Joe sleep in while I took the kids to school, ran errands, and then picked them up. The kids and I went to the park with the puppy (there is a funny story to come about THAT whole fiasco...good lord, never again) anyway, we went to the park came home and I finished icing the cake and I made dinner. We had a "Mexican fiesta" Yum yum!!! We had tacos, burritos, re fried beans, and Spanish rice...the kids and I had 1 taco each....Joe had 6 tacos AND 2 burritos. The only people who will believe that statement who will be reading this are Joes parents, they will vouch for me!!
Before when we were dating, Joe would be telling me one of his stories...he's a BIG story teller, as those of you who have spent more than 5 minutes with him know he is a TALKER, but thats why I love him...anyway he's telling about the time him and his childhood friend had a mini pizza eating contest and he ate 27 .....well, I TOTALLY thought he was embellishing, so he made me call his parents and ask them, so I did, and the story was confirmed..believe it or not. Just a side note...there were probably at least 5 other instances that I had to call "to check his story out"!! Hey what can I say...he has some pretty crazy stories!!!
I must also take a quick second to thank Joe's wonderful parents for raising such a wonderful man. Mom and Pop you two are WONDERFUL! I am so thankful for your son AND thankful for being apart of your family!!!
Alright on to the pictures.......
