Tim's Birthday/Carnival

I guess I'm not a very good wife, because Tim's birthday was last month and I am just now getting around to posting the pictures. In my defense though, we have been EXTREMELY busy and have only been home a few days at a time before leaving town almost every weekend for the past month. Anyway, better late than never!

Tim's parents and brother just happened to be here on his birthday this year and we invited our friends/family Jake and Tiff and their family to come over for dinner and then to take the kids to the carnival that was in town.

I had to put this first picture in because I think it is only the second gift I have ever gotten Tim that he really likes - the other was an iPod for Christmas 3 years ago. That makes me like 2 for 20 for all of the Christmases and birthdays that we've been together. Not such a great ratio. If you can't tell what it is, it's a TomTom navigation GPS thing. I am now regretting getting it for him, however, because I have to listen to it tell us how to get to the grocery store! What is it with guys and electronics?



Some of his other gifts included an inflatable life vest for fishing and a reclining lounge chair for camping.





I love it when it's someone else's birthday and I get to pick out the cake because I always get a Dairy Queen cake - they're my favorite!



Here's Tim and his "little" brother Chad. If you look carefully, you can see that they are poking each other in the ribs and that is why they both have funny looks on their faces. I don't think they will ever grow out of harassing each other, it just seems to get worse the older they get!



After dinner we went over to the carnival that was in town. It probably wasn't Tim's first choice of what to do on his birthday, but we were leaving town for the weekend and it was the only chance to take the kids, who weren't going to let us get away with not going. I was the only one brave enough to go on the "spinning" rides and the kids weren't quite big enough to go without an adult.




Grandpa and Uncle Chad did go on the bumper cars, but the kids were big enough to do those on their own, so that must have been for their own enjoyment!



The kids had a great time. It takes me back to the Blackfoot Fair and having so much fun going on all the rides. I can't wait until they are big enough to go on the really big rides so Mommy can go with them!
