Mortensen Munchkins: Rich's Birthday & Super bowl!

January 30th 2009

I think that Rich had a good birthday! He turned 36 on Friday. I wanted to document it all! He was up until 1am on Thursday night so I started the picture taking then! Including him working on our Taxes which is why he was up so late.

A good morning hug from Dani when she woke up.

A tickle for Ellie, who refused to give Daddy a kiss!

Breakfast of French toast as requested. After he made a quick trip to the store for milk since Dani had snuck the last of it into her room and............... drank it straight from the jug! Thats my GIRL!

His good-buy hugs from the kids!

The phone call from out of state he got at the house and had to take as he was trying to leave,
it was work related!

Chris telling me that he can "FEEL THE POWER" that milk gives him when he drinks it!

So that evening we took the kids to his parents and they spent the night there. We shared a treat with the kids and grandma and grandpa before we left. It wasn’t cake but everyone enjoyed it! I’m not sure what to call it since I just made it! No recipe! LOL I have been doing crazy things like that a lot lately!

Rich blowing in Ellie's Face and her hair going everywhere! She thought it was sooooo FUNNY!

I think we need a few more Candles!

Anyway after we dropped off the kids we went to Olive Garden and had a nice dinner, with good food, and a nice quite conversation! That doesn’t happen at our house very often! Waiting for Dinner..........

He loves his Alfredo!

He orders the same thing every time!

Rich wanted to see “Taken”, it just came out this weekend, and it was sold out at the first theater we went to, but they have wonderful waterfalls and sitting areas so we took the opportunity to take a few pictures. We did get to see it at the 2nd theater and even got decent seats!

It was almost 12 by the time we got home and we were so grateful that the kids were sleeping at Grandma’s!

Saturday January 31st 2009

Saturday afternoon I got to spend some time with one of my best friends who was in town for a few days! He dog threw up on me! Yeah………………. it lighted the mood believe it or not! So after a quick stop by my house and a change of clothes we went to lunch and did a “little” shopping! I helped he pick out place mats, to make a church bag out of, at goodwill. Then we came back to the house and talked while I put it together for her. It was so nice to see her! It made me realize how much I miss her! Love ya GIRL!!!!!!

February 1st 2009 ~ Super Bowl Sunday!

Ellie is getting so big and loving to do everything BY HERSELF! Today she discovered that she could climb the ladder and go down the BIG side and her Aunt & Uncle's house! I guess I won't worry about her and our slide now, since it is shorter! There is a video of her at the bottom of the post doing her thing! LOL

Rich blowing out his Candles. We had to pause the game so that we could sing Happy Birthday!

The Cardinal's were winning 23 ~ 20 against the Steeler's with only a few minutes of play left, and the tension in the room was CRAZY! But then they lost and the room was quite once again.
