Shame On Me!

I have been a terrible blogger lately.  We have just been SO busy trying to get this place in order that I really haven't had time to sit down at the computer.  The amount of posts I need to do are piling up though, so I am just going to dive in.  Let's start with Todd's birthday!  Todd turned the big 2-8 on the 11th, and that Sunday night we went out with a group of friends to celebrate.

There were about 20 of us and we all went to Yamato which is a really good hibachi place over here in Mt. P.  After dinner Todd had to do the obligatory banging of the gong to the happy birthday song...

He also chose to add in some dance moves...it was pretty entertaining!  On Saturday, we had gone shopping at the outlets to get him some new clothes and shoes for work but I still wanted to do something else for his bday so on Sunday night I told him that I needed to borrow the Jeep Mon so I could go pick up a rug for the living room.  Instead, I went to Wal-Mart where we had seen this bike that he really liked.  The guy who put the bikes together at Wal-Mart was really nice, but their customer service overall was not so great.  I wish you could have seen me loading this thing into the back of the Jeep in my work clothes in 90 degree heat. When I got home I wheeled it into the backyard to set up the surprise.

Then I went into the house and let Charley out finally and this is what happened...

As you can see, I'm not sure if it was the bike or the balloons but he was not having it in his backyard!

When Todd got home he was really surprised and we rode our bikes to dinner at a pizza place down the street.  It was a fun bday!
