Pics from my birthday-March 24th

It was a great day!!!

I had the most amazing birthday!! It was such a treat. I got to go workout with my good friend Claire early in the morning and came home to Brandon and Sarah making an amazing breakfast. I got showered and started discovering wrapped gifts all over the house with nice notes written on them. It was so thoughtful and meaningful. 

I went and met the kids at their school for lunch. They really enjoyed that and so did I. I did a little shopping for myself and then met the Erins and Brandon for lunch. 

The kids and Brandon sang to me that evening and then he and I had a great date night thanks to our good friend Chad, who stayed home with the kids. It really was an amazing day!!

Levi is 9 months

This kid can't get any cuter! We all love him so much!! He turned 9'months old on the Thursday, March 19th and will be walking anyday!  He is a super fast crawler and LOVES to be outside and he loves to play in the bathtub!! Such a sweet boy!!

He is just growing up to fast!
