birthday

Yesterday morning started with a nice long bike ride with Cam and my dad. We took the same route as our last ride, except made it to our goal...the end of the road. On our return, it was CRAZY windy, which was a bit of a bummer as it was so bad that we actually had to pedal while going downhill!!!

While we were gone, Chris took Kendall and the quad girls out for breakfast. When they got home, they proceeded to play upstairs for the next six hours. Good golly can those girls play!!

*Today is Chris' birthday. Last night we celebrated, just the four of us. Initially we had planned to go out, but baseball playoffs were on and relaxing and ordering pizza sounded better to the birthday boy. So that is what we did! For his present, I took the kids to the 99 Cent Store and had them pick out three things that reminded them of Chris or represented something about him. It was really sweet to see what they came up with. Here are a few things:

--Kendall chose whoppers because it is one of Chris' favorite candies

--Cam chose the goblet with hearts to represent how caring Chris is

--Kendall chose the candle because Chris often burns candles in the house (and is always buying new Glade plug-ins, car fresheners, etc.)

--Cameron chose silly putty to represent how funny Chris is

*This morning I made a special birthday breakfast for Chris, in the form of a homemade breakfast burrito. I made the kids waffles and I couldn't resist snapping this picture as Kendall licked her plate (a usual thing for her whenever syrup is involved). :)
