1 year older and wiser too

We found a shaved ice place out here and it's been nice to go to on those hot days. It's called Kawaii's, it's no Bahama Bucks, but it is pretty good. 
I had a very fun and eventful birthday. The wives took me out to Firehouse Subs for lunch (so good) and to Kawaii's after. Then I went to Mindi's to make a cake with her darling little girl and to hang out. A few other wives came over to watch So You Think You Can Dance and we ate some cake and ice cream. 
 Little did I know, Brad was actually at home decorating the house while I was at Mindi's. He did such a great job and it was such a fun surprise! 
He came to pick me up and we had dinner at Panda Express, my favorite chinese restaurant. We wanted to sit in the hot tub, but when we got out there, there was tons of other people in it smoking. So we went in the other 'hot' tub that was actually pretty cold. But we still swam around in it for a little bit. We opened presents, had cake and ice cream, and he gave me a good massage. :) I had gone shopping a few days before my birthday so he wrapped those up and he also got me some cereal and fruit snacks. He knows just what I like! I also went shopping a few days after my birthday and got some stuff with the birthday money from my mom and grandma. Even though I wasn't home and with family for my birthday, it was still a very fun and special day! 

 We have a big cricket problem here and I do NOT like it. I can't even look at these pictures, it freaks me out. We've had so many in our house, I've lost track of how many. We sprayed our whole apartment pretty good and it worked great for about a week, but I've still found a couple since then. The spray kills them so we've had a bunch of dead ones by our front door, in the garage and even in our house. The picture below are the ones in our garage, and that is not even half of them. I just counted 38, gross! Call me crazy, but I don't want to use our broom that I use inside the house to sweep them out. 
Just a little of what I've been working on lately. :)
 All the boys get together on Sunday nights to play basketball. Brad looks forward to it every Sunday.

The crickets! Yuck! I don't blame you for freaking out about them. Your BD looked fun. I'm still so sad we weren't together. Oh well, hopefully I'll get over it by next year. Your new clothes are so cute! Are most of them from your new favorite store? Your hats are DARLING. How's the blog book coming?

You look really cute in your birthday pictures. I'm glad you had a good day! Your new clothes look cute and I love all your hats! They really look professional, I think you should start a business.

Yeah!!! Happy birthday!! Sooooo glad you had a great day and everyone went to fun efforts for you. Those clothes are seriously SO cute!! I love that striped dress and those colored jeans, I know you'll totally rock them! Also, you look extra darling in that photo of you in the yellow shirt. I can tell 22 is going to be a good year for you.
