A Birthday Mad Lib

One of David's birthday cards was a mad lib (from my oldest bro's family)! Here's how it went down:

Dear oblivious (adj.) Dave,

We woke up this high noon (time of day) and realized your birthday was just around the caterpillar (n.). Besides July 4^th (holiday), it is our favorite time of year. We can’t believe you are already seventeen (#); you don’t look a day over fifty-four (#)! This year we wanted to wish you a very stunning (adj.) birthday and looked for the perfect gift. Though we really wanted to buy you an eagle (n.), the post office squirmed (verb, past tense) and would not allow it; plus the shipping was too wonderful (adj.). And though you would look great in a new pair of pants (article of clothing), we are not sure what size your acromion process (body part) is. So we just called the bakery and asked them to send over a huge revolting (adj.) lightning bolt (n.) with tumultuous (adj.) frosting and twenty-two (#) candles on it. Hopefully it arrives at the same time as the ball (n.) from the florist shop. Later we’ll have Gandhi (famous person) call and insanely (adv.) sing “Happy Jupiter (n.) To You.” All this, so that you know we love you from the bottom of our metatarsals (body part – plural)!

Squarely (adv.),

The Bold (adj.) Robinson Family

Cool huh? David really enjoyed it. He enjoyed the other cards he received as well. I was bugged that his birthday landed on a Fast Sunday . . . love those days, but it robbed me of the fun of making him a really good birthday breakfast. Fortunately, he doesn't have to leave tomorrow so I can do it then. His birthday also included . . .

a Lifehouse album - "from Dietrich" and an Iron Gym from me. My man loves to do his pull-ups and stuff. :D

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY LOVE!

Someone's having a birthday . . .

But not for another week. I decided to make the background festive for it anyway. :-) David's birthday is in a week from Sunday . . . and I'm still undecided on what to surprise him with. I've gotten something, but I may change my mind.
This morning I was awakened by the sound of laughter. Dietrich had climbed into the crib and he was making Kate laugh. What a way to greet the day!

Any more takers?

See post from January 28 (it was a tag). I only had four people take me up on the offer, so I can do one more. If you're not sure what I'm talking about, go ahead and check out the post and then fill the requirements and comment if you'd like me to make you something. :-) Enjoy your day!

Pretty strong for a girl . . .

Kate's working on getting into crawl position I'd say. But she's taking the extra work route. She holds pushup position for 3+ seconds! On her toes no less!

Sheesh! Isn't it cute though?

Our family excursion

It's Spring Break, folks, and that means we can spend some quality time together as a family! Since we don't know how long we'll be in Montana we've (David and I) talked several times about going to places that are nearby us. Pompey's pillar is one of those places.This is the view of Pompey's Pillar from the parking lot. You can also see the visitor's center, which happens to be closed at this time of year. However, I think we enjoyed our time here better as we gave ourselves a self-guided tour than otherwise. Plus there were no crowds.

You can't really tell from this picture, but what Dietrich and I are standing by are canoes dug out from tree trunks, which is what Lewis & Clark traveled in with their guides (at least by water). The canoes were covered up for the winter. But we did peek inside (shh).

The view from the top of the pillar.

Behind Dietrich and me is a framed/preserved carving by William Clark. I did get a close-up picture, but decided to post what I thought would be more interesting to a viewer (people).

Some geese lounging on the frozen part of the Yellowstone River. I thought it was cool.

New stuff

You may notice the new picture of Kate on the side here. She had a photo shoot today and it turned out quite well. To view more follow this link:
