A Birthday Weekend!

The weekend was filled with birthday's! Friday night we finally got to meet our new neighbor, his name is Danny and he was born a few days after Christmas. Kathy and Joe invited us down for pizza, we have been trying to get together since he was born and it just didn't work out, so finally we found a day did it. He's now about 7 weeks old but he's the cutest thing.

It's not the best picture but here's Danny with his dad Joe. He's was born at 11 pounds and is in 3 to 6 month clothes. He's a big boy!


After dinner, we headed up to mom and dad's to trade vehicles, Saturday I was taking her van to Madison with the Jazzercise girls and none of us had a big enough vehicle to fit 6 so mom said we could use her vehicle.

So Saturday we met about 11:00 down at the Jazz center to head to Madison. The occasion was, 3 of us have Birthday's in February so we all try and get together around our birthday's, and this one is always fun because 3 of us are celebrating. This is the first year we went out of town, but it was so much fun. We all headed to Madison for the day, it was a beautiful day, the sun was shining and it wasn't too cold. We went downtown near the capital, State Street, they have a bunch of different shops, kind of like Galena but bigger. Up towards the capital they had a big Ice Festival going on, we didn't walk up because we really didn't need to see snow.

Here's a picture of the Capital!


We decided to eat at at a little pasta restaurant, not the best choice for me, but it was OK. I had a panini and I splurged on some french fries, they were delicious. I didn't get to take my blood sugar because I didn't feel like carrying my purse so I left it in the van. I took the bread off the panini so I don't think it would have been too bad. I can't remember the name of the restaurant.

After putzing around downtown we headed to Trader Joe's this is the closest TJ's we have around, it's a fun little store to look around. I got a few things, some lotions, olive oil and pasta sauce. After TJ's we headed to Burlington Coat Factory, a few of the girls have never been to one and I think we were there for a least 2 hours, it's now about 6:00 at night and momma was getting a little hungry. It was a huge store, I think I was in the bathroom 3 times. LOL

Here's a picture of Judy, Linda, Brenda and Julie, not sure where Shelly is, she's short and may be in this pictures somewhere but they're all shopping the clearance section. I found a cute will pajama outfit, it says "Soon to be one sexy mama" LOL and shirt for Tom.


After BCF, we all decided to get something to eat, it's now 8:00 we can't believe how the day got away from us. We decided to eat at Chili's. I had a quesidilla and a bowl of Enchilada soup, it was yummy. We got back to DBQ around 11:00. I got home and Tom was in bed, he was out with his buddy Johnny and then with his uncle at the casino.

Sunday morning, my birthday, Tom made me breakfast. He made a ham and cheese omelet with olives, it was so good and I enjoyed a glass of milk! I sure miss my milk but every time I have a glass my sugars seem to be high so I try and stay away but I went with out toast so I could have a glass and my sugars were good.

Chris called me and asked if we wanted to come over for lunch because they were not going to be able to make it to mom and dad's for supper so Tom went and took a nap and I headed over to his house. They made some homemade pizza, I had a couple of pieces. It was nice visiting with all of them, it seems like forever since I've seen them all.

After Chris's I came home and got Tom and we headed up to mom and dad's. Grandma, Andy and Bill, Tom and Linda and Nikki and Lexi were all there. Dad made fish and french fries, it was so good.

Nikki and Lexi did not stay for supper but Lexi made this cake. It was delicious!

And here are a few of my gifts I got for my birthday. 
 



All and all it was a great weekend and to top if off McGraw-Hill is closed tomorrow because of President's Day. Yippee! Mom and I are going to do some shopping. We are heading to one of the outlet malls, either Williamsburg or Johnson Creek, we haven't really decided yet.

And while I was up at Chris's house I got a call from the lady who took our maternity photos, she stopped over to give my the flash drive, so here's a quick sneak peak at one of my favorites. More to come on that...
