Kerri, Me, Crystal, Hailee, Demetria, Tamera, Laura and Sarah. I decided I wanted a limo and a night of dressing up to celebrate my 5 year wedding anniversary. Ben didn't want to go in the limo. So, I went anyway with my girlfriends and called it my birthday celebration!
Tamera and I doing our best Magnum faces... I started laughing too soon.

Kiernan's 2nd birthday party:
Mommy and Kiernan with his "Pooh Bear" birthday party. He insisted on having a "Pooh Bear" birthday party and I ended up going to the special occasions store and paying WAY too much for Winnie-the-Pooh stuff because apparently kids only like Pooh on their 1st birthday or while they are in utero. When boys turn 2 they like things like spiderman, superman, transformers and other violent movie themed action figures that my poor deprived children are not allowed to watch (they are violent enough, without a lot of extra movie viewing!) The party was fun, and Kiernan adores all the Pooh Bear's he got at his birthday.
Gavin, Dominic, Crystal, Karson, Kiernan, Destiny, Jessica, and Davi getting ready to open some presents. Nobody was really interested in posing for the picture we were trying to take, as you can see.
The Wine Tasting at The Grape Tap:
It just so happens that on my actual birthday, Ben and I were both off from school and work and The Grape Tap was having a wine tasting. Naturally, I needed to spend my birthday money on a wine tasting! And, my mom baby-sat my children and my dad was our designated driver. It really is nice to have such a helpful and generous family!
So, this August we celebrated Ben's 28th birthday, Kiernan's 2nd birthday, My 28th birthday, and Our 5 year wedding (well, marriage, there was not a wedding) anniversary. It was a busy, yet very fun month.
